Anticipation for the album couldnt be much higher, but now Matt Bellamy has opened about the theme of Drones.

The next step in drones is gonna be autonomous drones, which actually make kill decisions themselves, where no humans are involved.

A lot has been written about how this is the best Bond tune that never was - and how.

With stadium rock anthemics, shrieking histrionics, call-to-arms lyrics and one helluva riff, this is all that Muse do best in one fierce and epic beast.

Agitated: Muses first three records came with a plethora of incredible b-sides - surprising early fans by showing their more unhinged side.

From the dark art-rock of Spiral Static to the twisted madness of Yes Please, their b-sides are a treasure trove of awesomeness for fans to discover - but its Agitated above all others that has a special place in the hearts of Musers.

Microcuts: By far one of the most challenging and astounding tracks theyve ever recorded, it lies at the centre of what makes Origin Of Symmetry such a masterpiece: darkness, paranoia, fearless ambition, and its heavy as hell.

That outro riff sounds bloody brilliant live too.

Map Of The Problematique: Its essentially their take on Depeche Modes Enjoy The Silence, which was only ever going to be wonderful.

Resistance: The sound of Matt, Dom and Chris travelling back to the 1980s for some Ultravox meets Depeche Mode stadium cheese.

Come on, Wembley: Love is our resiiiiiiiiistaaaaaaaaaaance 11.

Theres so much to enjoy: that riff, that chorus, those drums, that bassline, that scream: FIIIGHTING YOURSEEEEELF.

Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist: Matt Bellamy channelling The Smiths, with surprisingly brilliant results.

Hysteria: One of the most iconic basslines of the last 20 years, let alone one of the finest and most anthemic rock singles of the millennium.

Knights Of Cydonia: One of those rare incredible tracks thats perfect for both giving a show an explosive opening, or ending on an almighty high.

This space-rock magnum opus where Ennio Morricone meets Queen and Star Wars is probably the best song about war on Mars that youll ever hear.

Newborn: The incredible opener to the seminal Origin Of Symmetry, this was the first track to really crystallise the epic melodrama and balls-out madness that Muse would come to do so well.

From the haunting lullaby-esque intro to that monolithic riff, guitar solo, the desperate gasps in between vocals and absolutely MEGA chorus, its far more worthy of the classic status that Plug In Baby overshadows it with.

The arresting combination of syncopated drums, that chugging robotic bassline and Greek guitar (not to mention one of Bellamys highest-pitched howls) have left fans gagging for its return to their live set.

Supermassive Black Hole: It may totally ape the sound of underrated Belgian stoner-rockers Millionaire (something the band themselves admit) but that menacing combo of Marilyn Manson and Prince makes for Muses sexiest moment, most accessible and awesome single.

Space Dementia: This thundering piano epic is an entire opera, packed into six minutes.

Madness: Beautiful stuff.

Why It simply boils down the elements of Muses most interesting latter day experiments into a pure and simple form.

It picks up the ambient and minimal electronica that they last covered on Absolutions Endlessly and lifts it with the groove of Sign O The Times by Prince and drives it along with the slow but bright-burning fire of U2 Achtung Baby and the life-affirming A Kind Of Magic by Queen.

All the bombast is laid to rest in a bright and elegant bubble of pop.

Citizen Erased: The jewel in the glittering crown of Origin Of Symmetry, fan favourite Citizen Erased sees Muse set the bar for ambitious stadium rock.

At a time when everyone was stripping their sound down to meet the ascent of Converse-wearing garage rock, Muse were storming the world with their freakshow live tour as three mad scientists showed that rock wasnt stale - the focal point of those gigs being this 7 minute, multi-layered, modern rock existential odyssey.
