About this album

WMG Records 12 tracks (53:37)
The Resistance is the fifth studio album by English alternative rock band Muse, released in Europe on 14 September 2009, and in North America on 15 September 2009. As their latest album, the main theme of the songs is about political corruption, alien invasion, New World Order conspiracies and more conventional love songs. On 13 February 2011 the album was awarded a Grammy for ‘Best Rock Album’.

On its release, it topped the album charts in 19 countries. It also debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 128,000 copies.[13] It also beat its predecessor, Black Holes and Revelations, in relative album sales in its debut week in the UK selling approximately 148,000 copies and Worldwide with 479,000 copies sold. Critics were mostly positive about the album, with much of the praise directed towards its ambition and classical music influences. The album was produced by the band and mixed by Mark Stent.[14][15] The album’s first single, “Uprising”, was released on 7 September 2009, with the album’s second single, “Undisclosed Desires” released on 16 November 2009. “Resistance” was released as the third single from the album on 22 February 2010, and although it failed to match the success of its predecessors, the single reached number one in the UK Rock Chart and became the second Top 40 hit from the album in the UK Singles Chart. Exogenesis: Symphony was released as a limited edition EP in the United States on 19 April 2010.

    Хейтеры, убейтесь или продолжайте слушать свои Showbiz и Absolution дальше. The Resistance - гениальный альбом.

    The Resistance is far superior to their early teen pop rock material. [3] Yet I've seen people on here compare the album to "teenage girl music". Yeah, I forgot teenage girls like to listen to the fucking Exogenesis symphony. I really don't get the hate for this album.

    Well I think it's funny that people are playing the "This new stuff is commercial simplified shit, their old stuff was so much better" card when Showbiz is their most simple, one-dimensional album in every single regard. And I like that album. I do agree that Absolution is supreme though. Absolution > Origin > Resistance > Black Holes >>> Showbiz for me. And again, I like Showbiz. But this is a damn good album, definitely not their worst, and I've yet to see a strong argument for the contrary in these 2+ years.

    1st 4 albums (ignoring Starlight, really have had enough of that song) >>> Resistance IMO I think it's funny how some people are slagging off Showbiz. Seriously Muscle Museum beats anything on here (even though I don't hate any of the songs). But then most people's favourite is OOS but Absolution is my favourite so go figure.

    You know what? I love them all. From the wacky b-sides and early stuff to the The Resistance's Exogenesis Symphony. That said, OoS is my favourite album and the Resistance comes in last. There's tracks in the Resistance I didn't bother to listen more than 3 times. But there are also the Symphony, MK Ultra and Unnatural selection in there, so...

    As much as I love this album, taking the piss out of the older, god tier album is just laughably poor taste.

    The Resistance is far superior to their early teen pop rock material. They've reached a new era of musical maturity and can now be taken seriously as accomplished and talented musicians capable of diverse and engaging songs. Maybe their gigs will be free of the usual mass of Kerrang kids polluting the venue and will now attract some fans of Frédéric Chopin and Camille Saint-Saëns! ;)
