Muse - The WOW! Signal [Red & Black Marbled Vinyl, Import]

Muse move into sci-fi rock territory on The WOW! Signal, a 10-track album named after the 1977 radio transmission tied to questions about extraterrestrial contact. This limited edition Holland import pressed on red and black marbled vinyl record places the album in a color variant that fits its cosmic theme. The album follows Will Of The People and keeps Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howard inside Muse's mix of rock scale, synths, and orchestral drama.

"The Dark Forest" opens with orchestral and electronic elements before the band moves into heavier guitar sections. "Nightshift Superstar" shifts toward dance-rock, giving the first side a different pace after the opener. "Cryogen" brings heavier riffing into the album's space-rock frame, while "Be With You" was used as an early single and connects the record's cosmic premise to a more personal lyric. "Unravelling" and "Hush" extend that contrast between electronic pressure, vocal drama, and rock arrangements.

The album uses the Wow! Signal idea as more than a title, linking space, contact, isolation, and uncertainty to Muse's long-running interest in technology and human conflict. "Hexagons," "The Sickness In You & I," and "Space Debris" continue that focus with titles that point toward systems, damage, and aftermath. This LP is a Holland import pressed on red and black marbled vinyl.
