It was released on 15 September 2003 in Japan, 22 September 2003 in the United Kingdom by East West Records and Taste Media and 23 March 2004 in the United States by Warner Bros. Records. The album followed up on ''Origin of Symmetry'' diverse musical tendencies and elaborate sound, while also having a more focused and consistent theme and aesthetic throughout. ''Absolution'' has a noticeably darker and heavier tone musically, with a lyrical focus on the theological and apocalyptic concepts. The album reached number one in the UK Albums Chart. It also yielded the band's first top 10 single hit, with "Time Is Running Out" peaking at number 8 in the UK Singles Chart. In 2009, it was voted by ''Kerrang!'' as the second-best album of the 21st century thus far. (Muse's previous album, ''Origin of Symmetry'', and their subsequent release, ''Black Holes and Revelations'', also appeared in the top fifty).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kerrang Readers 50 Best Albums of the 21st Century )〕 ==Title== In April 2004, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy stated "I think the absolution is not necessarily a religious word: "It has meanings of purity (''absolute''), but it's not necessarily talking from a Christian or any particular religious point of view. I think it's just suggesting that the act of making music is a way of understanding things."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Muse guest program )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Absolution (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
