In May 2015, Muse was in the midst of promoting their seventh studio album, "Drones," which was released a month later on June 8, 2015. The performance of "Hysteria" at the Mayan in Los Angeles showcases the band during a pivotal moment in their career, as "Drones" marked a thematic return to their rock roots after the more eclectic sounds of previous albums. Notably, "Drones" explores personal and political themes of war and control, highlighting Muse's evolution as artists who blend powerful messages with their dynamic sound. The live recording at this iconic venue captures the band's electrifying stage presence and the high energy of their fans, and "Hysteria," originally from their 2003 album "Absolution," remains one of their most popular songs, often included in their setlists as a fan favorite. Muse's ability to engage an audience with both older tracks and new material illustrates their successful longevity in the rock genre.
