OK, so its not strictly metal in the true sense of the meaning, but I would deem this song an f'ing masterpiece. And it rocks. The story goes that the lead singer's dad used to be in a 60's/70's instrumental band called The Tornados and this song drew inspiration from one of their hits Telstar - no kidding!

Easy 10, and remember...

No-one's gonna take me alive.....

8. I'm not big into Muse, but I like some of their songs and this is one of them.

 

[Mosh]

I like Muse. This is one of the songs that I really like by them. 9/10

 

[Jupz]

Muse is one of the best popular rock bands, they are much more unique than most bands. 7/10 for this one, I think its a little overrated but still a good song.

 

[Night Prowler]

I don't like this type of music, sorry. Some parts are not that bad, so it's 3/10.

 

[Taker]

I was only recently turned on to Muse, but have really come to like their tunes. This is one of the good ones... and that live version smokes... 8.

I love this song. Is anyone else reminded of one of the riffs in the '2112' overture when listening to 'Knights of Cydonia'?

 

[Jupz]

Not particularly, but I can see a slight similarity.

8, a good song. I'm not very much into Muse.
