MuseEditorial reading
What we’re noticing
The album was released on June 26, reached No. 1 in the UK and entered a tour set that mixed new material with songs from the 2000s. Separately, the band discussed—not announced—possible anniversary reissues and performances.
The open question
Whether the anniversary ideas become concrete. Until then, this is a suggestive overlap around an album launch, not yet proof of a wider catalogue revival.
