My, how time flies - this week marks 10 years since Muse released their third album in the UK - the hugely successful Absolution.
As well as holding the Muse classics and hit singles 'Time Is Running Out', 'Hysteria', 'Sing For Absolution' and 'Butterflies And Hurricanes', it hailed the first time that Matt Bellamy and co truly cracked the mainstream, landing them their first UK No.1 album and arena tour, Stateside success and their first run at headlining Glastonbury in 2004.
While hardcore Muse fans will forever fawn over the batshit mental brilliance of Origin Of Symmetry, Absolution is no less insane or ecclectic. Happy Birthday Absolution - here are 10 things that you didn't know about Muse's third album.
