"Map of the Problematique" is a song by English rock band Muse, released as the fifth single from their fourth studio album Black Holes and Revelations on 18 June 2007 as a download.

[2] "Map of the Problematique" is an electronic rock song featuring heavy use of synthesisers, distortion, flanging and octave shifting.

[citation needed] The song has drawn frequent comparisons to "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode due to their similar chord progression and arrangement.

[citation needed] Originating from rehearsals before the recording of Black Holes and Revelations, "Map of the Problematique" was one of the later songs the band started work on.

It was originally played on synthesisers before being transferred to guitar, giving it a darker sound, although initially the intention was to keep it as keyboard-orientated as possible.
