(en) Muse begin work on fifth album. NME (29 mei 2008). ““What will come out of that is impossible to say,” he declared. “It may just be albums, but it may be a stream of singles, or it may just be one 50-minute symphony, do you know what I mean? Who knows?””
(en) (en) Muse aim to include ‘hardest song ever’ on new album. NME (26 november 2008). ““There is a new song in three parts, more of a symphony than a song, which I have been working on sporadically for many years,” said the singer, answering another question. “As a large percentage of the composition is orchestral, I have never wanted to collaborate with a string arranger as they may make it ‘theirs’. So I have been arranging the orchestral elements myself, which is taking a long time. It should hopefully make the next album as the final three tracks.””
