Claude says:Muse's 2012 maximalist turn—all synth-driven bombast and orchestral ambition wrapped in arena rock—landed in your rotation right out of the gate, though you kept coming back mostly to Madness, that propulsive earworm that proved even their most anthemic moments could stick around for years. It's the kind of album that swings for the fences on every track and doesn't quite land everything, but you've revisited it enough to know which moments earned their return trips.
