Second appointment of the week dedicated to Muse.

We resume from 2006, the year Muse released their fourth album, Black Holes & Revelations. The first single, Supermassive Black Hole, marked the beginning of a period of strong political engagement in their lyrics, continuing with Take a Bow (a critique of the Iraq war) and Assassin (against Tony Blair's government). The album reflects the band's fascination with science fiction and politics, earning them two nominations at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen, where they won the Best Alternative award. On June 16 and 17, 2007, Muse performed at Wembley Stadium in London in front of 150,000 spectators, an event included in their live album HAARP. On September 11, 2009, Muse released their fifth album, The Resistance, recorded near Lake Como and in Milan, and heavily influenced by George Orwell's novel 1984. The first single, Uprising, was released on August 3. The album, characterized by symphonic melodies and sophisticated orchestrations, was mixed by Mark Stent and included collaboration with the Milanese orchestra Edodea Ensemble. The Resistance Tour began in Helsinki on October 22, 2009, and extended globally, with 144 live shows. The album topped the charts in Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Australia, and Muse won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2011. After the tour, Muse returned to the studio to work on their sixth album, The 2nd Law, released on October 1, 2012. The single Survival, the soundtrack of the London Olympics, was released on June 27. The 2nd Law is characterized by electronic and dubstep influences, particularly evident in the track The 2nd Law: Unsustainable. The first official single, Madness, was released on August 20, followed by Follow Me on December 7. During that period, Muse participated in the world premiere of the film World War Z, for which they contributed to the soundtrack.

Today's listen is Supremacy.
