On the follow up to 2006’s Black Holes & Revelations, Muse are going to shake things up a bit and not just musically, either. Singer Matt Bellamy has been dishing out the goods all week and we’ve managed to round up a few of them. Some of it sounds pretty exciting.

Speaking to NME.COM frontman Matt Bellamy said: “I don’t think we’re going to approach the next album like we’re making an album.”

He added: “I like the idea of releasing a series of songs, every month or every couple of months - just putting songs out there. Almost like making the single a more prominent format, and then every few years doing a best of from that period and that would be the album. So in other words, throw out songs every couple of months and see how people like them.”

While it’s nothing really revolutionary (see: Billy Corgan’s plans), it should be interesting and exciting to have new material from the band, especially if what Bellamy is hinting at holds any authority…

“I think on the next album I’d like to do at least one 15-minute space-rock solo.”

“Apart from that, ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ (2006 UK Top Five single) opened up a new area for us of dancing, grooving, rhythm section-dominated songs. I’d love to do more stuff like that really.“

Progressive rock doesn’t work for a lot of bands, but I think with a band like Muse, the possibilities are endless. Let’s hope they continue in the direction they last left off on.
