About this album

WMG Records 12 tracks (53:05)
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.

    Are people claiming they made 'teen pop rock' before Resistance? Before they released a single for Twilight and wrote I Belong to You? True, I've lost count of the number of 14 year old girls I've seen rocking to Citizen Erased...

    Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry, Absolution and Hullabaloo are real masterpieces. It's a shame that Muse release this bullshit!

    Origin of symmetry blows this with so much energy and talent. Here Muse gets lost into the "show" thiing, the money machine... Disappointment.

    Ugh... I wish last.fm would allow one hard return to break up paragraphs.

    After hearing their jams on the live HAARP album I was really hoping that their next album (which ended up being The Resistance) was heading in that Rage-esque, heavy-rock direction. As a result I had incredibly high hopes for the album, especially since Muse hadn't really disappointed before. Despite having some great music, this album ended up falling well short of my expectations and no where near the sound I was hoping for. Don't get me wrong, there is some impressive stuff on this album, but several songs are marred by awkward shifts in direction or feel lyrically unimpressive next to the instrumentation. The symphony at the end is a testament to their talent and musical diversity, but ends up feeling tacked on and at odds with the pop stuff leading up to it. I still love Muse though and rolling with an artist's changes is part of listening to music, for better or worse. I just hope that they can switch gears and bring some of that symphony back to their rock roots.

    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.

    Wish Exogenesis wasn't on The Resistance.
