Muse have revealed they might ditch the album format and only release new material as singles from now on.
Although the band are currently in an Italian studio working on new material, the Teignmouth trio have admitted they want to experiment with the way that new material reaches fans.
Speaking to NME.com frontman Matt Bellamy said: "I don’t think we’re going to approach the next album like we’re making an album."
He added: "I like the idea of releasing a series of songs, every month or every couple of months – just putting songs out there. Almost like making the single a more prominent format, and then every few years doing a best of from that period and that would be the album. So in other words, throw out songs every couple of months and see how people like them."
As previously reported, Muse will release a CD/DVD set titled "HAARP" on April 1. The package will feature the U.K. trio rocking the stage during their two consecutive sold-out shows at London's Wembley Stadium last June.
The CD is a recording of the first concert on June 16, while the DVD features the second show on June 17. The band played in front of a crowd of 75,000 on both nights, drawing mainly from their two most recent albums, 2003's "Absolution" and 2006's "Black Holes and Revelations."
The latter was nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize and came in third in NME's 2006 Albums of the Year list.
Check out the exclusive video of Muse performing a neck-snapping version of “Stockholm Syndrome” filmed live at London’s Wembley Arena this past summer at this location.
