Muse

Origin and Absolution are definitely the strongest albums they've made, the other stuff is good IMO, but not on the same level as those two albums.

listening to The Resistance and the new song makes me so fucking depressed. What happened to these guys?

To me Muse are so massive sounding, so epic and so over-the-top that it is a cosmic impossibility for me not to love them.

The problem with The Resistance is that they tried to pack everything into one album. You have a Queen ripoff, a ****ing rnb tune, a french opera AND a rock symphony spanning 13 minutes. The whole thing was overproduced and out of control to really make for a good record. Personally, I don't think the guys are very good producers and shouldnt try to produce their own record next time.

Neutron Star Collision was just horrible.

But Dom and Chris said something like how that period of experimentation was over and they were planning to move on from that sound. I dunno, but that makes me kinda hopeful.

The music video was playing in the theater for that song they did for Twilight last night. I hadn't heard it before but it basically just sounds like Muse parodying themselves. It's pretty bad.

Parts of TR was kinda bad. Guiding Light, Undisclosed Desires, I Belong to You....It kinda makes me depressed.

Of course, there still were some good songs: The Exogenesis suite, MK Ultra, Uprising, Resistance (some people don't like this one, but I really do). Some people are really worried about what might come next, but I still have some faith in these guys.

I just hope my faith isn't misplaced.

MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE MUSE! I don't even know how to start how much I admire muse. But I hate how they got some fame through twilight. Twilight isn't worthy of music from muse :p

Nah, plenty of great music has been wasted on terrible movies... to this day I still love the soundtrack to Cruel Intentions... absolutely freaking woeful movie, but man, awesomely good soundtrack...

It's a big mistake to associate the quality of the movie with its soundtrack. I have also seen a lot of bad movies with cool soundtrack which I listen to very often.

I discovered Muse 2 years ago with the song "Stockholm Syndrome" which caught me quickly. Since then I have bought 2 of their albums, "Absolution" and "Origin of Symmetry" ( "New Born" ftw! ).

Even though their latest album isn't that "shiny" in my opinion, I love "Undisclosed Desires" from it.
