The Wow! Signal CD

Muse trim their cosmic theater to song-sized slabs on The Wow! Signal, a lean, propulsive set where organ swells and pulsing synths shove against the band’s stadium instincts. Lead single "Be With You" and dance-leaning cuts like "Nightshift Superstar" show a trio still flirting with pop while keeping the dramatic machinery intact. The CD collects the album’s ten tracks into a tight, immediate listen.
