Watch Muse perform at SNL

Muse finally officially released their very anticipated new album entitled The 2nd Law last week (on October 2 in US and on September 28 in most of the world). However, it hasn't got too good reviews. Many people actually think that they copied too much of their sound on this record. In fact, I even think it is true, but I don't think it is that bad. I feel that they added their typical elements to this album, which made all the tracks great. I really enjoy listening to it even though it is not as original as it could be.

The band is obviously promoting their latest effort. Later this month, they will start their tour throughout the Europe. The european part of the tour will kick off on October 16 in Montpellier, France and will end on December 6 in Stockholm, Sweden. Today, they also announced North American tour dates, which will start on January 26 in San Diego, CA. It will be over on April 26 in Quebec, Canada. To see all their tour dates, visit their website. But if you plan to attend any of these shows, be quick because tickets actually sale out pretty quick.

Past weekend, they also appeared on Saturday Night Live show, which was hosted by Daniel Craig. They performed two tracks from The 2nd Law - "Madness" and "Panic Station". Check out both performances below.
