It doesn’t just sound like Queen – it sounds like the theme from Flash Gordon. ‘Matt Bellamy, I love you, but we only have 56 seconds to save the Earth!’
































That is such a good point – Paranoid Android was every inch a Bohemian Rhapsody for the disenfranchised, miserable, Indie ’90s.
Queen made a career out of making epic and highfalutin songs about the most mundane, everyday things (such as bicycles). Muse does not need to write songs about global politics, of which they seem to know very little, to make good, epic, chorus-driven pop. They should go the whole hog and write songs about filling out their tax returns or going to an nice little tea shop for cream teas. After all, they are from Devon.
