It's been quite the week for Muse. The British trio's fifth studio album, 'The Resistance,' hits stores today, fresh on the heels of their first US television appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Inspired in part by George Orwell's '1984,' 'Resistance' gets particularly ambitious with its closing number, the three-part symphony 'Exogenesis,' which features over 40 musicians and clocks in at nearly 13 minutes.

Another highlight is the first single, 'Uprising,' which the band played at the VMAs Sunday night. Earlier this month, the band performed the track in their hometown of Teignmouth for 30,000 fans, and you can check out an exclusive clip of it below. With the album out now, you can catch the band live as the opener for select dates on U2's 360 tour before they return to Europe in late October.
