About 15 hours ago, Muse began tweeting a different track title every hour from their soon-to-be-released album, "The Resistance." It was hard to understand what it was at the beginning, but about three or four tracks in, it became evident that they were posting track titles.

Here are all the tracks that have been listed so far:

1) Uprising
2) Resistance
3) Undisclosed Desires
4) United States Of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)
5) Guiding Light
6) Unnatural Selection
7) MK Ultra
8) I Belong To You (+Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix)
9) Exogenesis : Symphony Part I (Overture)
10) Exogenesis : Symphony Part II (Cross Pollination)
11) Exogenesis : Symphony Part III (Redemption)

It is still possible that the album will have more tracks that haven't been posted yet, but no one really knows for sure. The band is currently in Italy doing interviews to promote the album, which is set for a September 14 release (in the U.K.).

To stay up to speed on all things-Muse, follow them on twitter, or check back here to see the latest news from the band.

UPDATE: Their website listed the official tracklisting today and it stands at 11 songs.

Franz Ferdinand unveil "Can't Stop Feeling" video

This is probably one of their best videos. It's funny, well put together and they dance in it.



I know I've been away a while but the second finals ended, I started summer school and math just isn't my thing. Hopefully, I'll be able to start posting again next week.

Muse announces release date for fifth album

Muse will release the "The Resistance" on September 14 in the UK. Recording and mixing for the band's fifth album is practically done and Muse will begin to tour starting in late October.

It makes me incredibly excited to know that in the next three months, both Muse and the Arctic Monkeys will release two of this year's most anticipated albums (sorry Grizzly Bear).

The band's website also said that more information and tracklisting will be announced soon. To stay updated, visit Muse on its website, or keep reading this blog, as I will update it with all the latest news and updates from the band.

To download Muse demos, rare songs, acoustic songs and full, live concerts from as early as 1999, visit Microcuts.net . It also has a large collection of Muse photos from throughout the band's career. Head on over to it's download section to get some great tracks. You might want to start off with one of the best unofficial live concerts ever - their performance at Reading Festival in 2006. The acoustic songs are equally as brilliant.

Muse drummer says fifth album possibly finished

Dominic Howard posted a blog on his myspace earlier today that he thinks the band's fifth album, "The Resistance," is finished. He said they've listened to it a lot and like it, so the mixing is done.

He also said something about September possibly being the release date, but nothing is set as of right now. Here's his whole blog post:

Hi,

So, I think,,, we've actually finished the album. Its all mixed so we are just listening to it a lot to really make sure its done but we seem to be agreeing it is.
It sounds f**king great and is my favorite album by far, but the new ones always are.!
September is hopefully the month of kick off but there are still lots of things to get together before then. Like learning how to play these songs live for one.. That should take a while!

Just want to say thanks to everyone who bought tickets for the tour in the autumn. We are immensely looking forward to it but also can only apologize for some idiot touts that are selling tickets for £200 - £600 in certain places. Obviously this has nothing to do with the band and not something we condone at all. We can try our best to try and prevent this but as you can imagine its quite hard. All our tickets are a fixed price and spending more than that is not something we expect. But keep posted as some more tickets for some shows may get released later down the line.

Anyway, see you guys soon,

Dom.

This is possibly the greatest news I've heard in a while. A new Muse album before the end of 2009.

Muse announce title of fifth album

When Muse fans checked their twitter accounts 10 hours ago, they saw the title of the band's fifth studio album was announced, "The Resistance."

The Devon trio's website also congratulated fans who were able to figure out one of the new song titles after the band posted a picture of Matthew Bellamy holding the score in his hands. The song's title is "United States of Eurasia."

It is now only a matter of time before the band releases more information on their upcoming release, which will be greeted by fans counting down the seconds for its release.

Follow the band on twitter here.

Muse collaborated with Mike Skinner/The Streets a while back and the following song was what resulted from it:

[MP3] Muse and The Streets - Who Knows Who

Now, whether or not you like rap, it's hard to deny how incredible Matt Bellamy is on guitar, Chris Wolstenholme is on bass and Dominic Howard is on drums. There are so many other great bands out there, but nothing comes close to the brilliance these guys have when they create music together.
