Muse, “Knights of Cydonia”

Some music is just epic. “Bohemian Rhapsody” was epic. “November Rain” was epic. Just as the songs could be described as epic, so can Muse’s “Knights of Cydonia”. It is one of those songs that has layers and layers and seems to last forever, in a good way. It sounds like music for the soundtrack of a Final Fantasy video game, or a crazy sword filled action or sci-fi film. This is the case with a lot of Muse’s songs. Most of them are based on a simple backing rhythm guitar, but all seem to build until they explode with an intense guitar solo. Their music just seems to be so intense and purposeful that the listener can’t help but be into it. If you haven’t yet listened to Muse, they have music posted on their Myspace site as well as their official site, www.muse.mu.
