I used to listen to the band Muse a lot in high school. I was one of those quiet but rebellious types, so their music really resonated with me. As I got older and started my corporate career, the political messaging in their music, especially in their most recent album, felt a little too strong.

I am ready for it now.

If you’re feeling rage right now, like many of us are, I highly recommend listening to the entire “Will of the People” album by Muse. Really listen to it. Put on your headphones like we used to back in the day and take it all in.

Music has become background noise for me in my 30s, but I think it’s time to bring it back into focus.

Got any songs or albums you’d recommend with similar themes?

There's a handful of Audioslave tracks that could work. Going to listen to them shortly, I'll mention some specific tracks. Definitely my favorite rock band of all time. RIP Chris.

Start a playlist with Voidnet. You'll feel like you're in a terminator movie fast.

I remember once reading that in bleak times, like the Great Depression, people historically favored upbeat movies; they wanted escapism. And then in boom times, people tend to favor grittier movies.

There might be something to that. That is, if you're not happy, you might be better off consuming happier media.

Came here to mention king gizzard and the lizard wizard who is carrying all of the genres into the future.

Super old school folk/country western or other older clasic rock. Its got its stigmas and opinions but if you control your Playlist library then id recommend adding the generic artists like Kat Steven, Willie Nelson, Dylan or stretch out to other mega-artists from that gen like the Beatles. Everyone knows their name and knows their billboard br3akers but theyr library is sooo deep with artists like that, there will absolutely be songs you never heard that sound better than their chary toppers.

My last recommendation: go down the limit Hendricks live recordings, rabbit hole.

If you are like me you might write off most rge artist ive named as being too... idk... legendary. But what ive found empirically, is that even the worst songs from great artists are better than any great song by an average to good artist.

Perhaps you will recall Knights of Cydonia from back then.
