This song is a crazy and brave attack to rock and alternative as it spreads a deep sense of fight and energy; I mightn't shirk this delightful vibe which seems to be a reward to the classic artists and to that epic feeling we were waiting for. Honestly I'd listen to it on repeat because the length doesn't make any bias, it all sums up Muse flawlessness and dedication. After listening to this album I noticed it features utterly the perspectives of the sound at that time and the right way to drive out those who plot to underrate such a great album!

The tie-in to this song is at the end of the little story. The year is 2062 alien scouts return to earth and make a report on what they consider, "highly coordinated aggressive crowd behavior". They note that before large challenges of athleticism anthems are played which make entire masses of people both enraged and exibit coordinated signs of aggression. The most popular of which is the clapping of hands, stomping of feet, shouts of the phrase, "we will rock you" which roughly translates to: your corporeal matter will turn to stone at our bidding; or we shall hurl asteroids at you. In the alien language. Some aliens are afraid, many chalk these words up to be superstition. A second alien comes and shoes a report on graves. Graveyards tombstones and caskets. Then he finishes with his discovery that the pyramids and other great stone structures are also graves. A few more of the aliens start to become superstitious and even some of the most empirical of them admit that while they don't think we are capable of turning our enemies into rocks they have no idea why human brains contain so many different ways of importing computing and exporting information. A third alien comes in with his, "Archive of the Human Anthems" The formation of chords and structure of music is very reminiscent of a language spoken by a race of aliens that had mysteriously disappeared around when they believe the pyramids were constructed. Some superstitions have taken hold completely of the more fical leaders. They hear Beethoven's fifth and it sounds strangely close to last message sent out by the exploratory group. They hear we will rock you and are reminded of the simultaneous actions of millions of people. People who have thousands of seemingly unnecessary parts in their brains. Many of them are already scared out of their minds. The chief of sciences and the head of machinery laugh at all their political opponents' fear. Many of their students stand by but stay respectful to their superiors. The third soundtrack they listen to is this song. They are all afraid. A vote is held before the song is even finished. They decide to go see what's happening in the other arm of the milky way.
