Well, brace yourselves for the inevitable, music fans – the juggernaut known as Muse, when not busy inspiring an insipid series of poorly-written and waterlogged novels that then go on to be adapted into an even more insipid series of films constructed solely to capitalize on teenage girls’ hormonal  instability and ability to spend money, is planning to reenter the studio and record a new album featuring even more of the emotional and sonic depth, subtlety and nuance we’ve all come to know and love them for.

We posted the audio for Muse’s song and lead single off of the Eclipse soundtrack a few days ago but we now have the official video that just… well makes us question the Muse/Twilight team-up even more.

Remember how we kept mentioning the term, “melodramatic?” Although the new song is a perfect match for the teen saga, we’re not sure what to say about the track now that the drama has been turned all the way up with clips from the film and Bellamy and his gang just milking this gig as much as they can.

Last week, we went through the painful process of finding out the track list to the latest Twilight soundtrack as the official MySpace Music page revealed it song by song… every half hour… (See how much we love our readers?) However! It turned out the Eclipse soundtrack continued its streak with indie tunes from artist such as Fanfarlo, Florence + The Machine, Bat For Lashes and many more. (You can see the entire track list here.)

Also, a Twilight soundtrack wouldn’t be complete without a Muse track since the band was an inspiration for the series and, of course, is Stephanie Meyer’s’ favorite band. As you can see from our headline, the title of the track is a bit melodramatic but what else is new? Muse is incredibly melodramatic and you Twi-hards are, too. (We say just that because the books are!)

Late last night we shared the news with you in regards to the upcoming soundtrack for Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight series. Although a couple of movie stars may be holding production back by demanding a pay raise, Alexandra Patsavas and her people at Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records are ready to share the music with you. Exciting, right? Even if you’re not a Twilight fan, you have to admit the last soundtrack was pretty rad with their choice to go for a “softer” indie touch.

The con to this soundtrack track list? We’re going to have to wait all day to have the final list of songs and artists much like we had to wait all day for the Bonnaroo lineup…  The track list will reveal itself here but we’ve got the first batch of artists who are on the Eclipse soundtrack below! We’ll be updating it here on the site until we have them all! Check it out so far after the jump!

All these albums fall under $8.00 and just because they’re cheap it doesn’t mean their duds. We found music from Modest Mouse, Radiohead, and Muse at the bottom of this week’s bargain bin.

When rock n’ roll excess is done right, it sounds like Queen.  Hell, it’s idiotic, but I’ll even occasionally stomach the eternally (and savvily-intentional) stupidity of a Kiss song.  When rock ‘n roll excess is done wrong, however, it comes off as either total disaster or simple bloated posturing/ lunk-headed muscle-flexing.

Saturday night’s Coachella headliners Muse came off as members of the latter camp of the worst kind of rock extremes—it wasn’t a total disaster, it was simply a numbing barrage of noise and laser lights (what year is this, 1986?  We’re still doing laser lights?  See you at the Pink Floyd laserium show, boys) all simply meant to distract listeners from the fact that depth isn’t exactly a Muse’s strong suit.

Alternative rock band, Muse become the first band to have two songs in the top three spots on the alternative rock charts as well as the BDS Alternative Rock charts in the same week. This is coming a year after the bands single “Uprising” remained at No. 1 for 19 consecutive weeks on Mediabase’s Alternative Rock chart, which was a record for the longest run at No. 1 in the history of the chart.

If you’ve never seen Muse live, their new video for “The Resistance” may just the thing to boost your vibes on buying a ticket to their next show. Currently on tour, the band has conveniently made a video highlighting one of their shows as an epic event displaying happenings from anxiously waiting in line to waving iPhones in the air to the jumping crowds. Although we’ve seen Muse clown around for the public when necessary, this video shows them hard at work doing what they do best through their music.

Check Muse’s video for “The Resistance” out below and let us know what you think!
