He tells Zane that he thinks “Compliance” is the best pop track the group has ever done and says the group’s forthcoming album bounces between metal to pop to electronica to “my first version of an Adele song”.

Muse’s Matt Bellamy Tells Apple Music About Letting Dom Take The Lead on This Album…
I sort of let Dom take the lead a little bit. That’s why this album’s taken two years. Every decision takes like a week for him to come back to us. Normally I just rush everything. With him he’s really slow, takes his time with every decision. I allowed him to make a lot of decisions about what was good and what wasn’t.

Muse’s Matt Bellamy Tells Apple Music About Making Prog Tracks…
Sometimes our weirdest stuff to this day, fans love it. To this day they are still holding onto that stuff. There’s definitely a sec of our fanbase that wants us to stay in 8-minute prog nightmares.
