Muse: Absolution

1. Intro 0min 22secs: Nothing special, its just one of those short tracks which builds up to the next song. Best bit: N/A |Score: N/A

2. Apocalypse Please 4min 11secs: A strong song about direness of the direction that the Earth is moving into as we destroy it, the music is not to my personnal taste but is strong and soft at the same time. Has a good tune in some areas. Best bit: 1:47-2:23 |Score: 5

3. Time is Running Out 3min 56secs: A brilliant song, one of the best on the album, great chourus. Best bit: 2:58-3:56 |Score: 9.5

4. Sing for Absolution 4min 54secs: A nice soft tune, turns harder after about 3 minutes. An emotional song, above average. Best bit: 3:07-4:30 |Score: 7

5. Stockholm Syndrome 4min 58secs: Best guitar solo on the whole album without a doubt, well, best guitar on the whole album. A perfect mix of music to create a marvellous song. Best bit: 3:15-3:56 |Score: 10
