Muse - 'Invincible' (Warner Bros) Released 09/04/07

Dear Matt Bellamy: God, quite unlike Muse, is also invincible, but if he’s up there at all it’s quite likely he’d have infinitely preferred you to ape some other religion instead of this half-arsed ‘Ave Maria’ bollocks. If Bono won X Factor it's easy to envisage this cod-Live Aid hymn as his finale; militant drums, earnest vocals and a theramin that screams like an elderly soprano undo all the good that the rest of B'lack Holes and Revelations' did on making non-Muse fans temporarily forgive the squawking inflicted on them over the last years. It’s barely two minutes in and it’s suddenly turned into a Bill and Ben theme song. Old-school Christianity had some outstanding tunes, but you just had to go for the evangelicals. Good grief.

Dear Gigwise, try not to hate bands as soon as they become massive.

Dear Gigwise, you can certainly hate them if they turn out crap songs like this.

I think it’s funny how some people think their opinions are more important than anyone elses. God loves everyone and everything in this world, so it’s utter crap you saying that he wouldn’t like this. You’re full of shit (if I do say so myself). I love God, I love Muse, and I love this song. So shut the hell up with your opinionated nonsense.

The worst song on a very good album, if you ask me. IMO, they’re allowed a dud next to songs like ”Map of the Problematique”, ”Soldier’s Poem”, and ”Exo-Politics”.
