It's absolutely fantastic, album of the year by a country mile.
The standard of songwriting is just through the roof and the Queen influences such as the orchestral arrangements and the vocal harmonies are pushed right to the fore, don't expect an album full of hit singles though like the last 2 were as it's not as accessible as those records but in the long run I think it's a very rewarding and excellent album.
In reference to Matt Bellamy's guitar playing now the one guitar player I would compare him to is a guy called Adrian Belew who played for Talking Heads, David Bowie and also King Crimson. Bellamy was always a fantastic musician but now he's up there with the best, as are his bandmates.
