British rockers Muse have shocked fans by hinting their latest album will be their last - because they want to release their music on a track-by-track basis in future.

The "Starlight" band - whose last LP, 2006's Black Holes & Revelations, garnered emphatic critical and commercial success - are toying with the idea of ditching the album format in favor of releasing individual songs as and when they record them.

Frontman Matt Bellamy says, "I don't think we're going to approach the next album like we're making an album. 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."
