The Muse Black Holes & Revelations vinyl offered here is a limited edition pressing of the 2006 album from one of British rock’s most ambitious and dedicated outfits, released on Warner Records with catalog number 44284.
Who Muse Are and Why This Album Matters
Muse formed in Devon in the early 1990s and spent years building a fiercely loyal fanbase through relentless touring and a series of increasingly grand studio records. Their 2003 album Absolution brought them genuine international recognition, but Black Holes & Revelations pushed further still. Released in 2006, it marks the point where the trio leaned hard into science fiction themes, orchestral scale, and a sound that pulled from prog, stadium rock, and electronic music without ever losing its edge. The record reached number one in the UK and made significant inroads across Europe and beyond, cementing Muse as a major act rather than a cult favourite.
What’s on the Muse Black Holes & Revelations Vinyl
Across 11 tracks, the album moves through dramatic shifts in tone and texture. The lead single Supermassive Black Hole opens things up with a groove-driven, effects-heavy approach that caught a lot of people off guard given the band’s previous work. From there the record covers a wide range of territory, from politically charged anthems to slower, more atmospheric pieces. It’s a record that holds together as a full listen rather than a collection of singles, which is exactly why it rewards the vinyl format. Playing it front to back on a turntable is the intended experience.
The Pressing and Format Details
This is a limited edition LP pressing, which means availability will not be open-ended. Warner Records handled the release, and the catalog number is 44284. Limited pressings of major catalogue titles like this one tend to move steadily through collector channels without much fanfare, so if you have been waiting for a physical copy of this particular record to come through at a reputable source, this is a straightforward opportunity. The album sits comfortably in any collection focused on 2000s British rock, and the limited nature of this pressing gives it shelf appeal beyond just being a playable copy of a well-regarded record. If your shelves already carry Absolution or Origin of Symmetry, this fills an obvious gap.
