...intro to “Die Slow,” the album’s lead single and most representative song. “Die Slow” has all the elements of HEALTH’s style: a mix of elaborate, heavy synths with drums and guitar, buried androgynous vocals and an industrial feel that is reminiscent of Trent Reznor. The industrial influence ads color musically, but it fails to provide thematic depth. The album is steeped in monotonously dark imagery; take for further evidence the songs entitled “Severin?...
...cover of “Feeling Good,” a curve ball might crop up, but for the most part, Muse sing about one thing: the end of the world.A theme that big requires music of a similar scale to prop it up. For Muse, that means crunching guitar riffs and driving base lines overlaid with Matt Bellamy’s operatic, choirboy-gone-bad falsetto.

Mercifully, Rock Band doesn't record your amateur Beatling (though an incriminating video of our session will be available at time.com/video) But even if your performance is less Beatles than dung beetles, it's hard not to get into the spirit of the game. Leo told us, "I'm going to be a first-time father at 52 in a few weeks...
