"Muse have told fans that they shouldn&amp;#039;t take their upcoming album &amp;quot;100% seriously&amp;quot;. The band explained that they weren&amp;#039;t afraid to be more operatic on their new record The 2nd Law, which is out on October 1.   &amp;#039;&amp;#039;We don&amp;#039;t care if people don&amp;#039;t necessarily take songs like that 100% seriously,&amp;quot; frontman Matt Bellamy is quoted by Contact Music as saying. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;We&amp;#039;re not afraid of our eccentricities, we&amp;#039;re not afraid of going into almost Monty Python rock. But it&amp;#039;s like opera. If you put a piece of opera on, it&amp;#039;s ridiculous unless you&amp;#039;ve listened to the whole thing and just go there with it. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;It was so operatic. So completely different to how I heard it in my head. But that&amp;#039;s what it&amp;#039;s all been about: writing stuff to challenge us to sound different from what we think we sound like.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Muse recently unveiled their new single &amp;#039;Madness&amp;#039;, which is available to download now. The band will play a headline set at London&amp;#039;s Roundhouse on September 30 as part of the iTunes Festival 2012.
