By the Numbers
Bellamy writes nine of the eleven tracks alone. The two exceptions bring in the only outside writers Muse credited before 2018: Chopin on "United States of Eurasia" and Saint-Saëns on "I Belong to You", both for the classical material the songs quote. Self-producing an orchestral suite and clearing two nineteenth-century composers is a fair summary of where the band had arrived.
The Resistance is Muse's fifth album, released in September 2009 and produced by the band themselves. It closes with "Exogenesis: Symphony", a three-part orchestral piece, and produced "Uprising", the band's highest-charting US single. It won the Grammy for Best Rock Album.
