These musicians ably handled operatic goth-glam ("Sleepwalker"), a Def Leppard-meets-'80s-funk hybrid ("Sure Fire Winners") and a hi-NRG gay-club anthem ("If I Had You"). "Soaked" indeed sounded exactly like a Muse song, from Lambert's vocal delivery down to the classical piano flourishes throughout. (It made a solid argument that Lambert should star in a revival of Phantom of the Opera.) Again unsurprisingly, the histrionic glam-pop highlight "Music Again" sounded like a Darkness outtake, complete with Lambert emulating the high shrieks for which Hawkins is known. A steamy, psychedelia-swirled cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" split the difference -- it sounded like Muse making out with the Darkness in a dark closet. And the throbbing synthfunk stomp "Strut" featured vaguely raunchy -- but snap-to-a-grid fierce -- dance routines based around canes
