A Few Words on... Two Door Cinema Club - Beacon

There's something undeniably catchy regarding Two Door Cinema Club's follow-up to the popular and surprisingly good debut. While never branching out in a new radical direction and keeping it relatively safe.

Muse - The 2nd Law Review

It’s been a strange time to be a Muse fan. The Resistance, for lack of better terms, was too cheesy, its supporting tour lacked surprises and the spontaneity that made their live shows the best in the world and the period went on for a dog’s age.

Needless to say, I’ve been down-trodden by the prospect of The 2nd Law. Survival was initially a slap in the face and a slightly rockier version of Neutron Star Collision that wasn’t what the band needed and the constant quotes of a radical change could either be dismissed as banter (as the band have said this for every album since Origin of Symmetry) or fore-warning for the horrors unfolding.

So, it’s here, it’s certainly different but different doesn’t necessarily mean good.
