Muse have named their fifth album via their Twitter. The album will be called «The Resistance» and it is due for release in September with a full arena tour planned.
The trio then confirmed via their official website that one of the song titles on the follow-up to 2006’s «Black Holes And Revelations» will be «United States Of Eurasia». Fans deciphered the title from a photo of Matt Bellamy holding some sheet music.
No matter which way you write it – with a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil – it’s good news: the Arctic Monkeys release their third album on Monday, August 24.
The as-yet-untitled album features 10 brand new Arctic Monkeys’ songs and was produced by Josh Homme in the Mojave Desert and Los Angeles and James Ford in Brooklyn. Does this mean we are to expect a stodgy rock epic in the mould of ‘Standing on the Shoulders of Giants’? Is Alex likely to be trading in his SBA Zip Hoody for a bi-cep-bustin’ cap-sleeve T-Shirt and some ‘muscular’ riffin’?
Well let’s fooking hope not. Hope rests on the input of Ford, whose recent production credits include The Last Shadow Puppets, Test Icicles, Peaches and Mystery Jets.
Can you take the Monkey’s out of High Green and still have him swingin’ from all the right branches? Only time will tell.
The album will be available on CD (WIGCD220), vinyl (WIGLP220) and via digital download (WIG220D).
