The 2nd Law is a weird outlier personally because it was a later Muse album I had trouble remembering the sound of, before I only had this issue with their earlier more noisy/chaotic albums as they were like that but I shouldn't have this issue with a post The Resistance album.

The first three are the best Supremacy is a sick spy thriller sounding track, Madness is a banger and Panic Station is an upbeat bop. However the album kind of falls off after. Survivial is kind of cool but I also don't like part of it. Follow Me gets too dubstep(?) and sounds like an alternative version instead of the actual track, I would have liked a regular version as I feel like it just does not work but the foundation of the song is good. Animals is sort of good but it feels like a good B-sides track kind of good. 8 to 11 are good but forgettable which seems to be a common theme with this album. The 2nd Law 1&2 is quite cool, like with Follow Me I am not the biggest fan of dubstep and I would prefer if it wasn't the way it is. But it is cool,

It's good but at the same time you have to remember this is the same band that made Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations so you know they
