"Revolt" is a song by the English rock band Muse from their seventh studio album, Drones (2015). It was released as the third single from the album on 4 November 2015. [2]
In his review of the album, Gigwise's Andrew Trendell called the song a "squelchy synth-fuelled call to arms and power ballad for the space-age, somewhere between Bryan Adams, Journey and Eurovision". [3] The NME's Mark Beaumont described the song as "a two-speed storm built on monumental riffs". [4]
The "theatrical" video features the band "performing against a backdrop of dystopian warfare between man and drone". [2] Shot in Prague, the band "wanted the video in black and white only using color to represent revolution". [5] The video was made available on Apple Music, [5] while a 'Virtual Reality' version can be viewed on vrse.com. [6] The video is in 360°.
Reaction to the song was mixed. While NME's Mark Beaumont ranked "Revolt" among the band's "most creative songs", [4] Consequence of Sound's Collin Brennan likened it to the "overblown theatrics of Queen". Calling it "a catchy, occasionally rousing song with a couple of neat tricks up its sleeve", he concludes that the song ultimately fails to be the "convincing call to action" it seemingly intends to be. [7]
