The band have their own recording studios at Lake Como in Italy
Muse's new studio album could see them move away from their traditional rock sound to create a more "orchestral", classical offering.
Frontman Matt Bellamy said: "There's some really brilliant songs coming out, some of our best material I think."
The follow-up to 2006's Black Holes And Revelations is expected later this year coinciding with an Autumn tour.
Last month, the Devon band picked up the NME award for best live band for the second year in a row.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, Bellamy revealed the record's sound could see the band abandoning their traditional rock leanings completely. We'll be knocking on Classic FM's door, you know
Muse frontman, Matt Bellamy
"A symphonic album has turned up here, like a full collaboration with an orchestra," he said.
"There's definitely a few things on the album which are segueing into each other and it's all very orchestral, but that could take over the album, so it could actually be kind of classical act basically, and move away from rock all together.

Very cool, thanks for the info! I do like Muse - I think they're different - looking forward to whatever they end up putting out.

Hope you don't mind my hijacking this thread, SoundScapeMN. But since it's about Muse music in 2009, I feel it's kind of appropriate?
Muse will be touring with U2 this fall!

yeah I saw that like a week ago (Fiasco on twitter I recall). Certainly relevant. I would go if they hit my town. I've never seen U2, but I also don't plan on forking over more than about $50 for a ticket (I buy/get in free often from someone with an extra on the street anyway).

I love Muse, can't wait to hear more music from them.
I fucking hate U2, but I'm sure they will go over well and blow them off the stage.

Haha, the "in studio" videos they're posting are hilarious. I think they're yanking our chains...

one thing MUSE doesn't do is take themselves too seriously, they have fun with the music and that's great.
I really wish the new album sounds like the "jams" in between songs they were doing for the "Black Holes and Revelations" tour, they really heavy "audioslave-ish" stuff. they can bascially pull off any style though and i'm sure whatever they make will be great

Chances are, they were actually Tom Morello riffs. I didn't see them on that tour but I've seen them in the past and on that latest DVD they put out, the jams in between had real obscure Rage and Smashing Pumpkins riffs among them.

what are the exact dates? the only one I've found is for the Giants Stadium one. They added a 2nd date in MA, but it says Snow Patrol is opening. The first show appears to be sold out and doesn't have an opener listed yet.

I do give bands like U2, Springsteen, Jovi credit for filling those places, but I'll be damned if I go to another stadium show unless I'm in the front row.
You will never really be near the stage or close enough where they don't like like little dots and the sounds drifts off to nothing.
I just don't get it, it almost seems like an ego thing for these bands.

gotta take whatever Matt says in the press with a grain of salt.
Regardless, I am looking forward to it!

I love U2, but I'm not paying $250 (that I don't have) for seats that aren't even on the damn floor of a stadium show. Not even if Muse is opening.
