Muse - Invincible

by Dave Parrack

This is Muse with their brand spanking new single ‘Invincible’ out in the UK on Monday 9th April. It’s the fourth single to be released from the haunting yet brilliant album ‘Black Holes And Revelations‘ which itself came out last July. The song is a fantastic floaty journey through what seems to be a person’s doubts and their need to overcome obstacles and come out the other side. It has a kind of romantic feel to it, yet the almost march like drum beat moves the pace of the song on nicely. About half way through the song, the strong bassline which is one of Muse’s strengths, comes in and from there the song builds up to a crescendo.

The video fits the song well, with Muse on a boat floating through an ‘It’s A Small World‘ type ride showing events through the history of the world. It was directed by Jonnie Ross, and makes reference to such things as the September 11 attacks and evolution through different time periods. The ending of the video fits in perfectly with the meaning of the song, with humans fighting back and overcoming their attackers and everything reverting back to normality, with the cavemen style humans surviving.

I think the song and video both compliment each other well, and this is one of the stronger singles to come from the album. It’s one of those tunes that grows on you and when it ends, you want to hear it again straight away. Another class act from Muse.

Song Rating: 9/10 Video Rating: 9/10 Overall: 9/10

    Love that song, Dave. Thanks for sharing! Some of my favorite music of all time has been the various Brit bands. Our local PBS station has been showing the “best of” from the ’60s.

    Great stuff!

    BTW, have a happy birthday tomorrow!

    Thnaks Bobbi!

    It’s a great song isn’t it?! 60s British music is/was the best ever, I’d give anything to have experienced it :)
