    Released 25/05/15.

    Any interest in this? I was surprised not to find a thread already on it.

    I was never their biggest fan but I always enjoyed their singles, and was a fan of Free All Angels in 2001 and Meltdown in 2004. Haven't enjoyed their stuff since then but I was very pleasantly surprised by Kablammo recently. One or two tracks you can clearly hear the Muse influences (one track in particular is a blatant Muse rip-off though. Incidentally there's a U2 rip-off on Muse's new album.)

    Anyone else been enjoying this album?

    I was a bit! Yeah they played all the old favourites and 4 or 5 from this album which didn't sound out of place. I'll certainly pick it up, they've always been able to write a good single.

    I thought they weren't going to do any more albums, just singles.

    They did say that, yeah. I suppose they just changed their mind. Bands/singers should really never say never - they almost always end up going back on their word.

    It's on Spotify btw, I thought they were good at Slane. Going to give this a listen over the next few days.

    Really enjoying this album, one pure muse like tune alright on it, I think it falls into the 'ash have never produced a bad album' category. Not their best but I'd give it 3.5/5, hedonism is my favourite track, I was at whealans when they played recently, almost blew the roof off the place, fantastic night.

    Video for Cocoon, first song on the album! Don't know if it's genius, or they're taking the p1ss...or both!
