9. The Small Print

It's been a good while since Muse have added The Small Print to their live sets - possibly because it doesn't sit so easily with their more modern album work - but Download is the perfect opportunity to bring it back. Not only is this a unique live gig for the band (considering the audience) and a chance to shake things up, it's also one with the right genetics for this sort of track.

The Small Print feels like it was made for live performances, despite its more recent snubs, and there is a lot of opportunity to add more weight to back up Bellamy's distorted vocals. It's not a universally adored track, by any means, but its energy makes it a great outside chance.
