    ‘The Wow! Signal’ not only sees them break that purgatorial cycle, but suggests that more greatness is on the way.

    Like every Muse album, some will find the unabashed bombast a bit too much, and Bellamy’s voice remains very much an acquired taste. However, after the disappointments of the last few years, it’s simply just a relief to hear them back to something approaching their best at long last.

    It’s delightfully overblown when it wants to be. But it’s never stupid. When you’re looking to the stars you need to go big. Here, Muse send out their most impressive and creative signal in a while.

    In rekindling their own purpose, the Teignmouth trio have delivered undoubtedly their most consistent and satisfying album since ‘Black Holes & Revelations’.

    It speaks to how overheated things can get in Muse’s world that, lyrically, The Wow! Signal amounts to dialling it down a bit. .... The music, meanwhile, gleefully updates the florid sound of 2006’s Black Holes and Revelations.

    On The Wow! Signal, they've harnessed that emotion and paired it with their most solid songs in ages, reaching for something more in that great beyond. It's a seamlessly executed and proudly over-the-top experience.
