Data Insight

All ten tracks are Bellamy's alone, and the band self-produces, which puts the record entirely in their own hands for the first time since The Resistance. The songs deliberately quote earlier Muse modes, so the album reads as a survey of the catalogue written by the person who wrote the catalogue.

Will of the People is Muse's ninth album, released in August 2022 on Warner and Helium-3. The band produced it themselves and framed it as a run through the styles they had used across their career. It reached number one in the UK, their seventh.
