(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.””
