Episode 64 - 'Praise For Absolution' Muse's third album, 'Absolution', presents us with everything that worked for 'Origin Of Symmetry', but elevated to the next level! The genius of Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme is on display as electronic soundscapes, symphonic elements and classically inspired passages are combined with Hard Rock to give us this innovative record that didn't necessarily introduce new musical concepts, but helped redefine the possibilities within Alternative Rock. Join us as we reflect on the legacy of 'Absolution' and its impact on Muse's career and how they established and implemented a signature sound whilst combining so many musical elements!

Hosts Lazarus Michaelides and Felipe Amorim-Laz and Felipe to regular listeners-share a deep, conversational passion for guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, and the cultural moments that only rock music can create. Their Long Live Rock 'N' Roll podcast is a dedicated space for that enthusiasm, moving beyond simple rankings to explore the texture and context of the genre. Each episode focuses on a specific song, band, or seminal album, dissecting not just the musical composition but the human stories and historical conditions that fueled its creation. You’ll hear them analyze why a particular guitar solo resonates decades later, or how a band’s internal dynamics shaped a classic record, always with a focus on the artistry and impact. This isn’t a dry history lesson; it’s a lively discussion between two knowledgeable fans who believe the music’s power lies in its combination of raw sound and relatable humanity. Whether examining a legendary track from the 70s or a pivotal album from the 90s, the conversation in this podcast aims to connect the notes you hear to the people who made them and the listeners who found meaning in them. For anyone who has ever been captivated by a drum fill or a lyric shouted from a stage, Long Live Rock 'N' Roll offers a thoughtful, engaging deep dive into the soundtrack of rebellion and resonance.
