10 Best Muse Songs
4. Stockholm Syndrome- Absolution (2003
This song is pretty much a full-on metal assault from the trio. Bellamy and Wolstenholme’s guitars are a frenetic assault on your senses. While Bellamy has always been a disciple of Queen’s Brian May, these guitar lines are closer to what you would find on a Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath record, only with the BPM turned up way higher.
The atmosphere of being trapped under the eye of a kidnapper who has locked someone away is palpable in the manic energy of the guitars and the tenderness of the choruses. And when it seems that they're about to let you off the hook, the song ends with the dark metal riffs without giving you any second to catch your breath.
