Muse's fourth album emerged from the dark, abrasive (but no less grand) worlds of Origin of Symmetry and Absolution to propel Muse firmly into the mainstream limelight. Mega-hits 'Starlight' and 'Supermassive Black Hole' dominated the airwaves, while deeper cuts such as 'Exo-Politics' kept the LP's tone firmly in the stratosphere throughout.
