Muse: Don't expect a new album any time soon

Following reports that Muse have begun demoing material for the follow-up to 2006's Black Holes & Revelations, bassist Chris Wolstenholme has warned fans not to expect a new record any time soon.

"I don't think there's anything that we're ready to record yet," he told BBC 6 Music. "We just wanted to get started this year, to get the ball rolling a little bit rather than wait for a year doing nothing then get in the studio, and go, 'What do we do now?'.

Muse!

Hmmm that kinda kills speculation regarding Friday's slot at Reading 2009! Though it makes sense as they have not had a break in ages! Miss ya muse,

how can you say that bands such as enter shikari are better fair enough classic bands like metallica and queen and floyd and that but i laugh at you for not knowing any real music enter shikari and lost prophets are the worst bands going. a band with true meaning such as muse probly havent even heard of such shit!!

I can't believe how wrong you are.
Muse are one of the very few mainstream bands who get the freedom to experiment and still appeal to a large amount of people. Hence their popularity.
If you don't like them fair enough but they're NOT shit.

Also, I've seen all three of those bands like and NONE OF THEM were as good as Muse's live show.

Also, learn to spell wtf is "cn"?

yeah, I gotta say, quit bitching about how much you think muse sucks and learn to spell...even a little bit. I'm all for abbrv., but when you are only leaving out a single letter, you're not really abbreviating, are you? 'there live shows arnt amazin'? Did you know that there is a 'there', 'thier' and a 'they're'? GO TAKE A BASIC ENGLISH COURSE AND PICK ONE!!!!

Ohwell.
It will be amazing when new material does come out though!
I hope they tour a little bit too, since a new album/single will take some time.
Annoying thing is that this gap will be longer than Absolution & BH&R...which was long enough!!

Sad thing :( but anyway I think that I'll be very happy when they finally release their next album. Muse is amazing band and I love their whole material because they have something personal in their style. And yes, they are fantastic live act too. I shouted my voice off when I was in their gig at Helsinki last October. Best rockshow I have ever seen.

As a massive Muse fan, this is disappointing. But they deserve a long break.

Muse ARE one of the the best live bands in the world!
Some people seem to forget that their Wembley Stadium shows were voted greatest concert EVER!!!!!!
I was there, and it was fucking epic!

I really hope they release an album sometime next year

O, The sooner better

I really hope that the album isn't THAT long away. I want to get it ASAP, and then go to one of the dates on the tour. Being to one concert only, which was Iron Maiden at Twickenham, I believe that this is the only band that could match it. Please Please don't take too long!

Take as long as you want my precious,, precious band!!
We all know that the end result will be worth waiting for!
I know there are a lot of fans are disappointed but lets give them a break!
They've be working solidly!
We expect too much from their genius minds!!
Tell you what K! - To keep us occupied, why don't you do a Muse poster special in the mag???
Lord knows we've been dying for it!!!

stop fighting
those who think muse are shite, just go live in a cave and look at the real world

i am a huge muse fan, and im personally glad that the're taking time out.
they need to take a well deserved break, then come back completley refreshed, and make another album that they are fully capable of doing

i was worried when they said it will be out next year! i thought "omg, they wont have spent enought time, and the're just releasing an album for the sake of it"

i know they wouldnt do that
but yano... im a music fan.. swat we do..

anyway, when they return, t'will be fantastic xx

ok to the muse haters...you can sit there and type all the shit you want...it still isnt going to put the band and its fans down....
you can sit and listen to load of racket (which occasionally is good) ohhh and the fucks and shits in the lyrics...but the the thing about muse is there is origionality in their music....they work so hard to put a meaningful album out there and the reason they are so popular is because they suceed in that so gloat all you want about bands like enter shikari and lost prophets but i dont really see them packing wembley stadium anytime soon.....muse reach and brake boundries every album they have released and that is a true band...reaching out to their fans and showing them that a true band works their fucking hardest to put something out there!

At least it's confirmation! Can't wait for the next album! Oooo

And to the person who said Muse are shit? You listen to Enter Shakari. Nuff Said.

From what I've seen on youtube and other peoples' first hand accounts, Muse are amazing live! I need to see them in my lifetime!

Muse is great!

Wtf! If you don't like Muse then why are you posting on this topic? Not being funny but I bet you secretly love them and I know you didn't find this topic by accident. You were looking for it and then got pissed off with the band because they arn't releasing anything new, so you went on a rant didn't you? I for one have only just started listening to Muse and I love them. I hate to admit it but I thought they were shit before but I hadn't heard any of their stuff before, then I heard Super Massive Black Hole on Twilight and I thought wow they actually don't suck they're great. Do you think that Stephenie Meyer, who used Muse as litterally her muse for a whole quartet of books, would have gotten any inspiratation if they were shit. No. I didn't think so. So now if you don't mind stick to the fucking topic and behave like a child somewhere else.

Catx

P.S. Wow Muse are good that's the longest rant I've been on this week and hell I can rant.
