Muse knows how to be epic. And “Knights of Cydonia” is one of the best examples of this. We hear elements of Queen. We feel elements of metal. This is Muse doing what they do best. Full-on symphonic and full-on sonic at the same time. “Knights” is a 6-minute dystopian masterpiece. Here we are, yet again, asking ourselves, how the hell did three guys manage to make all these sounds?
“No one's going to take me alive. Time has come to make things right. You and I must fight for our rights. You and I must fight to survive.”
