    The last third of the record is more streamlined, with the sweeping, subtly metallic ‘Kill Or Be Killed’ offering a welcome throwback to the days when Muse were at their best, but it’s not enough to redeem this all-too-OTT offering.

    its nowhere near the calibre of their past albums, although Kill or Be Killed is one of their best songs, for a long time!    … Full Review »

    Hugely disappointing. Muse have nothing left to offer unfortunately. For completists only.
