Muse: Black Holes & Revelations

My musical guilty pleasure of the year so far: Muse’s latest and fourth album Black Holes & Revelations. Why guilty? Because there’s almost something shameless about the way they simultaneously rip-off Jeff Buckley, Depeche Mode, and, yes, U2. I had never heard of Muse before this album (which ignorance my officemate found surprising), so that makes me blissfully unaware of any checkered past.
