Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many tracks are listed on the US version of "Black Holes and Revelations"?

Answer: 11

The only other Muse album to contain exactly eleven songs is "Origin of Symmetry", which was released in 2001.

2. What is pictured on the cover of the album?

Answer: Miniature horses on a table with four men sitting around it

The four men are the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible.

3. Who created the art for the cover of the album?

Answer: Storm Thorgerson

Storm Thorgerson also created the album covers for "Absolution" (2003) and the "Butterflies and Hurricanes" single (2004).

4. Which song on the album features the lyrics "destroy demonocracy"?

Answer: Assassin

Before the song title was officially "Assassin", it had at least five other names, including "Debase Masons Grog", "Cold Aqua Tomato", and "Demonocracy".

5. "You'll burn in hell for your sins" was included in the lyrics of which song?

Answer: Take a Bow

"Take a Bow" is a message for world leaders to take responsibility for their actions in office. It was supposed to be placed either first or last on the album, and it was eventually set as the first track because it ends in the musical key B, which is the opening key on the second track.

6. Which song features the sound of antiques smashing?

Answer: Exo-Politics

"Exo-Politics" is about aliens invading the Earth and forming their own government. It adds an unusual perspective on this political album.

7. Which music video could be described as a sci-fi western?

Answer: Knights of Cydonia

The music video for "Knights of Cydonia" seems to be set in the Old West but oddly features sci-fi elements such as laser guns, robots, and holograms.

8. "You should make a stand" is a sample of lyrics from which song?

Answer: Invincible

Unlike the other tracks on this album, "Invincible" is a very positive song. On a radio talk show, Matthew Bellamy called it the "heart" of the album.

9. To whom is the album dedicated?

Answer: Helen Kirk

Helen Kirk is the late sister of Thomas Kirk, the band's media manager. Martha Bellamy is a made-up name using Matthew's surname, but the other two options are the other two members of Muse.

10. What is the extra single that can be found on the Japanese version of "Black Holes and Revelations"?

Answer: Glorious

Muse has included a bonus track on all Japanese versions of their CD's, such as "Spiral Static" on their "Showbiz" album, "Futurism" on their "Origin of Symmetry" album, "Jimmy Kane" and the piano version of "Sunburn" on their "Hullabaloo" album, and "Fury" on their "Absolution" album.
