How much deception can you take?
How many lies will you create?
How much longer till you break?
Your mind's about to fall
The Resistance is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Muse, released on 10 September 2009 through Warner Bros. Recordsand Muse's Helium-3 imprint. Produced by the band and mixed by Mark Stent, the album was recorded from September 2008 to May 2009 at Studio Bellini in Lake Como, Italy. Musically, the record is similar to some of the band's previous material, mixing orchestral elements with rock and electronic music. The album also saw the band craft a three-part, 13-minute long symphony piece titled "Exogenesis". Lyrically, it is a concept record, as well as a continuation of the themes from their previous records, being influenced by politics and more oppressive subjects.
