5/5
Black Holes and Revelations – Muse (2006) | Alternative Rock / Space Rock | Avg: 9 | Favorite Song: “Invincible” This one absolutely blew me away. Black Holes and Revelations is everything I want from a concept-driven rock album. It's massive in scale, tightly constructed, and emotionally charged without losing its sense of drama. What really stood out to me was the way Muse shifts between cosmic grandeur and grounded urgency. “Soldier’s Poem” brings everything back to Earth, only to build that tension into a full-on rallying cry. It’s a smart, emotional pivot that gives the second half of the record real momentum. And “Invincible” ended up being my favorite: easily one of their most uplifting and anthemic tracks, and it lands with purpose. From a reviewer’s standpoint, it’s rare to see this level of sonic ambition land so cleanly. The production is astronomical, thanks to its use of wide-open synths, crunching guitars, and operatic vocals, but none of it feels bloated. Muse makes space sound militant and melodic at the same time, and it works. This is the kind of album that feels generational. It captures that post-millennium anxiety, but does it with such scale and clarity that it still hits just as hard now. Spectacular stuff.

8.5/10 Favorite Track: “A Change Is Gonna Come” Otis Blue is raw feeling dressed in sharp arrangements. Redding’s voice carries every track like it is the last thing he will ever sing. Whether he is pleading, shouting, or barely holding it together, there is no distance between the emotion and the mic. His cover of “A Change Is Gonna Come” does not just honor Sam Cooke’s original, it tears it open and bleeds through every note. The album jumps between pain and joy without ever losing momentum.
