The Resistance is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Muse, released on 11 September 2009 through Warner Bros. Records and Muse's Helium-3 imprint. It was self-produced and recorded from September 2008 to May 2009 at Studio Bellini in Lake Como, Italy. It mixes rock with orchestral and electronic music, with lyrics influenced by politics and more oppressive subjects. It includes a three-part, 13-minute long symphony piece, "Exogenesis".

The album was promoted with the singles "Uprising", "Undisclosed Desires", and "Resistance". "Exogenesis: Symphony" was released on vinyl for Record Store Day. The Resistance Tour comprised 30 performances.

The Resistance received generally positive reviews; critics praised its concept, instrumentation, influences and Bellamy's vocals, although some found it overblown and clichéd. It won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.

The Resistance is Muse's most successful album, with more than five million copies worldwide. It reached number one in 19 countries and the top five in the United States and several others. It was certified platinum in countries including the UK and US.

Recording

[edit]

On 22 May 2008, NME reported that Muse had begun writing songs for their new album.[3] The band released three videos of recording footage, including a session in a lavatory.[4] In a Twitter update on 23 June, Muse said the album was complete, with only mastering left to complete in New York. The album was mixed by Mark Stent at Muse's studio.[5]

At the 2010 Music Producers Guild, Bellamy thanked the producer Rick Rubin "for teaching us how not to produce", which some sources took to mean Muse had fired Rubin from the Resistance sessions.[6][7][8] Bellamy later said his comment had been misconstrued and that Muse had never worked with Rubin; instead, he said Muse had been inspired by stories of his "hands-off" production style.[9]

Composition

[edit]

The Resistance has been described as featuring art rock,[10] progressive rock,[11][12] space rock,[13] alternative rock,[14] and arena rock.[15] Bellamy cited the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell as an influence on the album's lyrics and themes.[16]

The Resistance includes a three-song suite, "Exogenesis", described by Bellamy as "a story of humanity coming to an end and everyone pinning their hopes on a group of astronauts who go out to explore space and spread humanity to another planet". Eventually the astronauts "realise that it is just one big cycle, and recognise that unless humanity can change it will happen all over again".[17] The suite features an orchestra of more than 40 musicians.[18]

Promotion and release

[edit]

Muse announced the title The Resistance on their Twitter page on 22 May,[citation needed] while the first song was officially announced as "United States of Eurasia" on the official band website,[19] deciphered by fans from a picture of a piece of sheet music held by Bellamy in a photo uploaded on the Twitter page.[19][20]

On 16 June 2009, Muse announced that the album would be released on 14 September 2009.[21] "Uprising" was released as the first single.[citation needed] "Undisclosed Desires" was uploaded to Muse's official website for streaming by website members on 9 September.[22] From 10 September, the album was made available to stream free through the Guardian website.[23]

The Resistance was released on iTunes as one of the first iTunes LPs. It contains the album as well as added extras such as animated artwork and behind the scenes videos.[24] A remix of "I Belong to You" was included on the soundtrack to New Moon, the second film in the Twilight film series.[25]

As well as the CD, CD+DVD, LP, & download versions of the album, Muse also released a box set containing the CD+DVD, LPs, a USB stick containing the album with a bespoke media player, and an art print. A special version of the box set, limited to 5000 copies, was also made which additionally contained a DVD containing a 5.1 surround sound mix of The Resistance - this mix also includes a longer version of "Unnatural Selection".[citation needed]

Tour

On 18 August 2009, a duo of concerts titled "A Seaside Rendezvous" were confirmed for 4 and 5 September.[26] The concerts were the first in Muse's hometown of Teignmouth in over ten years, as well as the first shows since their appearance at V Festival in August 2008. The performances included the debut appearances of five songs from the upcoming album, including lead single "Uprising", "Undisclosed Desires", and "Resistance". The band also performed a small number of shows at other venues in Europe, before they supported U2 for nine dates on the North American leg of their 360° Tour in September and October[27] and in South America in March and April 2011.

In June 2009, the band confirmed the dates for an opening European leg of the Resistance Tour, which they announced would comprise 30 shows.[28][29][30] Tickets for the shows in the United Kingdom, Sweden and France went on sale from 5 June,[28] while tickets for other European dates went on fan pre-sale between 11 June (Netherlands)[31] and 17 June (Spain).[32] Tickets for the UK arena dates, both pre-sale and general sale, sold out within minutes of going on sale.[33] On 22 September 2009, it was announced that extra tickets for many of the European concerts would be sold beginning on 24 September.[34]

The band also performed a small number of shows at other venues in Europe, before they supported Irish rock band U2 for nine dates on the North American leg of their 360° Tour in September and October[27] and in South America in March and April 2011. The opening European leg began on 22 October 2009 and ended on 4 December 2009, comprising 30 shows. The second leg, which began on 7 January 2010, included thirteen shows, seven of which were part of the Australasian Big Day Out shows. A North American leg of 26 shows took place in early 2010. Nine stadium shows took place in Europe in 2010, with three of those dates taking place at Wembley Stadium and Old Trafford Cricket Ground. A second round of North American concerts took place throughout September and October 2010.[citation needed] At the conclusion of 2010, the tour was placed on Pollstar's annual "Year End Top 50 Worldwide Concert Tours", and appeared 13th worldwide, earning over $76 million with 64 shows in 2010.[35]

The Resistance received generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 72 based on 23 reviews, indicating "generally favourable reviews".[37]

Andrew Leahey of AllMusic praised the album, highlighting "Guiding Light", "United States of Eurasia", and "Exogenesis", and calling it "by and large a fantastic record".[38] In an interview with The Sunday Times, Dan Cairns wrote that "Muse have made an album of genius, brilliance and beauty".[47] NME identified "Exogenesis: Symphony" as a highlight, describing it as Muse's most bombastic work yet"[48]

Multiple reviews criticised the album as unoriginal, in some instances commenting it was a caricature of progressive rock.[49][50] Rolling Stone lauded "Uprising" as an "industrial-flavored" song that proved that Muse could still "whip up an almighty roar", but dismissed the album as a whole as clichéd and derivative of Queen.[45] Ben Patashnik from NME felt that the album was "genius" in parts, but criticised it for producing something "conceptually impressive but musically all too familiar".[43] Pitchfork gave the album a mixed review, stating that the songs were "an outgrowth of wanting to make the music as big, inclusive and as singalong as possible, rather than any inchoate political impulses" and criticising its "mass-shout-along-ready lyrics". However, the review concluded: "Judged on its own terms – out of control scale, genre-smashing ambition, musical and vocal virtuosity — The Resistance is a success."[10]

The Queen guitarist Brian May praised the Queen influence. "I love it, I think it's great stuff. I think they're very good boys and extremely talented, and like us they have their tongue in cheek a lot of the time," May said. He described "United States of Eurasia" as "brilliantly done".[51] Muse won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album for The Resistance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011.[52]

The Resistance was praised by the rightwing Fox News anchor Glenn Beck, and "Uprising" was used in YouTube videos advocating for conspiracy theories. Bellamy expressed discomfort, describing himself as "a left-leaning libertarian – more in the realm of Noam Chomsky". Muse refused requests from American politicians to use "Uprising" in their rallies.[53] Beck responded in an open letter to Bellamy: "As uncomfortable as it might be for you, I will still play your songs loudly. To me your songs are anthems that beg for choruses of unity and pose the fundamental question facing the world today – can man rule himself?"[54]

In September 2012, the American songwriter Charles Bollfrass sued Muse for $3.5m (£2.2m), claiming that they had plagiarised The Resistance from a science-fiction rock opera concept he said he sent them in 2005. Muse dismissed the claim and said they had never heard of Bolffrass or seen his work.[17] The lawsuit was dismissed by a New York judge in 2013, who said the album's narrative was too abstract to constitute any infringement.[55]
