Journal 29 - The Resistance

Are you missing out on your classical music? What about your experimental rock? Well if you said yes to either of these two genres of excellent music, then you may fall under the category of people who should listen to the album The Resistance by the band Muse. Even if you do not fall under either of the categories, you would be missing out on the listening experience of a lifetime. Matt Bellamy does an excellent job at powering the songs. He is one of the greatest musicians of our generation. For the band, he sings lead vocals with a very powerful and harmonic voice. He has a very wide range of tone and often uses a falsetto voice. It is a very unique style of signing and it just works. Works I tell you. Bellamy also is the lead guitarist for the band. He is a very solid guitarist and is very creative with his riffs. Not only is Bellamy a double threat in the music world, but he is a triple threat. That is right; triple threat. Bellamy also plays piano/ keyboard. He is one of the greatest piano players ever known to the human race. If you look up the song Piano Thing by Muse, then you will see how good of a piano player he actually is. He composed the music and then played it for the recording. Back to The Resistance. The Resistance is led by Matt Bellamy. The bassist and backup vocalist is Christopher Wolstenholme. The drummer, who is quite underrated is known by his name, of Dominic Howard. These three long time friends combine in their musical talents that is one of the most unique sounds ever made. Many people say The Resistance is a poor album. As it is very different from their other albums, it is still an excellent album. The album is written after the book 1984, which is a very interesting way of writing music. GET THIS ALBUM!!
