' Crying Shame' made its debut in 19 December 2004, while ' Assassin' and ' Exo-Politics' in their early forms made their debut during the 2005 MTV Campus Invasion Tour ( 8 April 2005). Playing of the tracks started mid-2004 with ' Glorious'. Additionally, City of Delusion was cited as the oldest song on the album by Rich Costey, indicating bits and pieces may have even been written on the Origin of Symmetry tour or sessions. Starlight was also stated to be written during the 2004 tour, although neither Starlight nor Knights of Cydonia would be performed during the Absolution tour. Knights of Cydonia was said to be written on the tour bus while in Arizona, a destination only toured in late 2004. Both Glorious and Crying Shame, which would not make the final cut on the album, were played live in 2004. The earliest two, Take a Bow and Soldier's Poem, were ones that were attempted during the Absolution sessions Take a Bow was played as an instrumental interlude at many 20 gigs. Many songs from this album and its singles were already written before 2005. The album is dedicated to the memory of Helen Kirk. Also, a sinister presence at the center of our Galaxy has inspired what could be described as a surprisingly casual manage-a-trois involving Prince, R2-D2 and the Queen when she was hot'

The 6/8 cycling monster has turned out truly gargantuan, it will have to end the album (a few beserkers may recognize the chordal structure from piano doodlings on previous tours). It may have been close to getting blood from a stone but in the end we did get some earnest synth dreams out of him. Our very own Marvin sat in the corner depressed too complex to be fun and too unreliable to be a friend.

Matt described the album as: 'About the album, some new songs deal with awol soldiers, Zeta Reticulans, the sound of Joe Meek's tape machine being thrown down the stairs, the private thoughts of General Zhu Chenghu, feeling strangely comfortable collecting fire wood whilst wielding an axe and of course, how to store Pasta for 12 years using nitrogen flushing. Maybe it is about a person struggling his way through this chaos.' It is about trust and about not losing track in this tangle. It is about the fear of who or what is ruling the world. Matt said that the songs in the album are told from different person's Point Of View: 'This time, it is a bit about struggling with various contrarities of life, but from a different person's view, not from mine. This theme, the connection between current tensions and those from long ago, can really be heard on the album' ThereвЂ™s even been a rise in the interest in space. Today, weвЂ™ve come back to this feeling, like at the end of a cycle. But there's definitely a sense of something big is about to happen.' and that 'Some of the songs are directly informed by things that are going on at the moment' Matt also said in another interview: ' It was an era of worldwide tension, of nuclear fear and of war. The general theme of the album centres on dystopian-orientated/kleptocratic politics, along with accompanying war and about cycles and big things happening: 'There is a theme on the album, it's that kind of connection to the cycles of history where the tension builds up and then it's released, whether it's catastrophic like a nuclear war, or aliens come down and it's brilliant. The varied influences on the album can be traced to the intial demos and recording made in the ChГўteau Miraval studio and the later recordings in New York City, where Matt DJed in a club and the band recorded the remaining songs in the Electric Lady Studios. The album contains elements of these genres. The album is less classically orientated than Origin of Symmetry and Absolution, while introducing new influences including jazz, soul and R&B. 10 th February 2007 (AU+DVD) Д«lack Holes and Revelations is Muse's fourth studio album, released three years after previous album Absolution, in July 2006.
