Brian May has commended the new Muse album called “The Resistance” saying Devon trio are “real virtuosos”. “I love it, I think it’s great stuff,” May shared with BBC News. “I think they’re very good boys and extremely talented, and like us they have their tongue in cheek a lot of the time.”

Brian May has praised sound that Muse have incorporated into their new album that many listeners have observed as influenced by the sound of Queen. The musicians have met before at several events and Muse confessed that Queen’s music is an inspiration for their band. “They said they liked us and that we’ve been an influence, which is obviously nice for someone like me to hear,” recalled Brian.

The main track “United States of Eurasia” from the new album has drawn comparisons to classic Queen. In the recent interview, Muse drummer said he understood why people think their single, “United States Of Eurasia”, nods towards Queen. Dominic Howard said: “I guess people have thought it sounds a bit like Queen, particularly that big chord and the big harmonies”. Also Brian May described the track “United States of Eurasia” as “brilliantly done”.
