An economy based on endless growth is unsustainable, according to Muse.



It's never, ever, simple, but if you trace a line from Queen and a half-dozen "prog" rockers through middle period U2 and Radiohead, you might have a vague notion about what Muse is. I was slow coming around to Muse ... but the music is hitting me hard right about now. The trailer (above) provides a better idea of where Muse has been, but "Madness" just might be a clue to where the group is going -- or not. They skip around a bit, and although the band is British, The 2nd Law is my personal election soundtrack for 2012.
