Description
The Resistance begins out with one of the most straightforward rock songs that are featured on the album, "Uprising." It has a seeming futuristic dance beat which was the brainchild and product of bassist Chris Wolstenholme. He layered the beat underneath the front man which is just astoundingly genius.
There has been a definitive 'us or we against them' mindset which has consistently built up over the course of Muse's previous few records. The Resistance is certainly no exception in any matter. The lyrics are demanding from both sides. What Bellamy is specifically referring to in some of the songs is 'anyone's guess about the subject matter.' The volatile disposition of the world is used as an allusion to add more spice and vivacity to the album.
Bellamy nevertheless makes it crystal clear on "The Resistance" that love is our ultimate resistance. The song is purposefully derived from the loving relationship between Julia and Winston from Orwell's 1984. The lyrics depict a perplexing state of mind and even echoes Orwell's ideas about how love is the perfect depiction of rebellion. Once again, the song and the album itself seem to portray a real live performance with its liveliness and epic proportions. The soaring tracks about defiance also come from the thought falling in love. Indeed, the album has so much to offer. Its twisted lyrics that convey everyday messages make it one of the most cryptic and intelligent albums ever produced.

Comments about WM UK MUSE - RESISTANCE:
CD Wow provides great value in its CDs you can get an entire album for less than downloading the album on Itunes.
Resistance provides some great tracks from Muse like Uprising and Undisclosed desires. Some songs aren't as good, but you get that with any CD you buy.
Great value!!
