Deluxe edition includes five bonus tracks. 2018 release. Simulation Theory is the eighth studio album by Muse. Co-produced by the band with Rich Costey, Mike Elizondo, Shellback, and Timbaland, it is a synth-rock album with themes of simulation and centering on the idea of "fantasy becoming real". Contrasting the band's previous three albums which dealt with darker themes, the band sought lighter influences from science fiction and 1980s pop culture and produced the album one track at a time without a focus on a greater narrative or theme. Recording began at AIR Studios in London in early 2017 with Elizondo, creating three tracks before embarking on a midyear tour of North America. Production restarted in Los Angeles in late 2017 with Costey, who had co-produced the band's 2003 album Absolution and 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations. "Era-blending" juxtapositioning and the contemporary political climate of the United States informed the album's music and lyrics., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Art Direction, Design [Package]: Jesse Lee

This band is just great, the disc is in my ears a little tribute to Prince. Very refreshing are the acoustic tracks. In the past, muse were even more creative and even more different, currently they are extremely approaching the mainstream. In the long run, unfortunately, not so great. Please more RATM and less Prince!

Muse once again change their sound and they choose a more pop and organic sound. Beautiful edgy pop prog songs!
