The stodgy stadium rock sound of Muse has translated to huge record sales in recent years, and the band is only set to get bigger with the release of The Resistance. This big budget video for “Uprising” draws on the recent trend for photographs of miniature figures placed in unusual locations.
The song is a big empty slice of melodrama, with singer Matt Bellamy letting his Thom Yorke warble loose over some big riffs and handclaps. The video is equally dramatic, and features giant teddy bears with fangs, who terrorize a Mad Max-style dystopian future world.
