The 2nd Law

The British rock trio, Muse, is releasing a new album called The 2nd Law! This follow-up to The Resistance is coming out tomorrow and I'm very excited to hear the band's new music. Muse had already made a music video for their single "Madness" and a lot of fans of the group seem to be having mixed feelings about their new style of music. Personally, I respect bands for changing up their sound. I think it would get boring to have every album sound exactly the same. There are a lot of bands out there that do that and I find it very hard to get into their music because there is no variety. I applaud Muse for taking a risk and I love all of their music, from their oldest songs to their newest. It really seems that Muse can do no wrong.

Muse is currently on tour and they're scheduled to play at The Roundhouse in London tonight. They have no tour dates in the U.S., though, which really disappoints me. I wish that Muse, one of my favorite bands, would have a concert in Massachusetts so American fans like me could see the legendary band perform.

If you haven't heard Muse's "Madness" yet, you can listen to it on the official music video or the official lyric video below:

¡Uno, Dos & Tré!

I'm excited to say that, over the next few months, Green Day will be releasing three new albums: ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!. If you're familiar with the band, you'll probably understand the pun in the title for the third album, being that it's their drummer's name rather than a Spanish number. Green Day has already released ¡Uno!  on September 25 and the next two will come out November 13 and January 15.

I haven't listened to all of the songs on the album yet, but I have heard one song that really caught my attention. "Let Yourself Go," the fourth song off of ¡Uno!, is impressive and it's hard for me to stop listening to on repeat once I've started.

I'm looking forward to going to a music store to buy all three cds as they hit the shelves. The months leading up to their release dates are, I'm sure, going to be torturous to all Green Day fans who can't wait to hear all the music that comes from the creative minds of Billie Joe, Mike, and Tré. In the meantime, if you haven't heard "Let Yourself Go" yet, you can check it out below:
