Amazon.co.uk Review
It takes a certain sort of band to fill Wembley stadium, one unafraid to embrace scale, flirt with pomposity, and perform the odd grand gesture. Watching Muse's live CD/DVD H.A.A.R.P--recorded over two nights in June 2007--you're left wondering if Wembley is quite big enough to hold them. From the grand opening, when Muse ascend from an underground chamber and walk down a central ramp flanked by men in yellow chemical splash suits to Matt Bellamy's lengthy, florid turns at the grand piano, no opportunity is missed to make H.A.A.R.P seem anything less than a spectacle. Shot in high definition, the camera-work is as snappy and dynamic as any movie blockbuster, with special attention to the crowd, who are picked out with sometimes breathtaking detail. Fans may gripe over the tracklisting--the DVD has been edited down, meaning four tracks, including "Bliss" have been left on the cutting floor-but casuals should be satisfied with the selection: there's the hits ("Supermassive Black Hole", "Knights of Cydonia") and on the DVD, a noble rendition of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good".--Louis Pattison
Description
This first full live album (discounting 2002's part-studio 'Hullabaloo') from the epic Devonshire prog rockers is the follow-up to 2006's hugely successful studio set 'Black HolesAnd Revelations'. Recorded at their massive Wembley Stadiumshows in June 2007, this CD/DVD package captures the band, who have always been renowned for their live work, in blistering form. The title, too, becomes Muse's reputation - HAARPis the US military's High-frequency Active Auroral ResearchProgram, which has long been a bete noire of conspiracy theorists everywhere.
