Just when we thought the Devon three-piece could not get more bombastic or operatic, then came Muse's fifth studio album, The Resistance, which opens with the Doctor Who-synthed Uprising in which singer Matt Bellamy wails: "We will be victorious!" And who's to doubt him? The ridiculously ambitious new record - "an album of genius, brilliance and beauty" (The Times) - blasted to the top of the international charts overnight and the band now hit the road for more than a year. If debut Showbiz was often one dimensional and dismissed as Radiohead-lite, then The Resistance has secured Muse's eternal place in the halls of rock stardom. Audaciously blending Chopin nocturnes, R n B, glam-rock and overt homage to Queen, the album ends with a Berlioz-inspired three-movement symphony about mankind abandoning earth and populating another planet. And the biggest surprise it that Muse pull it off - 100 per cent. Fresh from supporting U2 on the US leg of their 360° Tour, Muse play two dates at The O2 Arena as they embark on their own European tour with their stadium superstar credentials riding high. Not just the cream of Devon, Muse are arguably one of the biggest bands in the universe right now. Resistance is futile.
