I don't get the point of letting twilight fans ruin good music for you. Plenty of good songs were and are being used in crappy movies, just ignore it. Muse are energetic and fun, while not being too childish or infantile. And they're currently the best live band, IMO. They could play christmas carols on stage, I'd still love to see them live. Who cares about twilight?

Very true, very true :D But since Twilight has given birth to the terrible fan girls who claim to be the biggest Muse fans in the world o_____O I'm not so fond of it...ah well, can't always win ^^ by the way, it would be frigging awesome if they'd play christmas carols XDD no actually it wouldn't, but I'd pay to see them :P

Those girls would probably get crushed at a concert. I mean that literally, crushed. Besides, Twillight will hopefully fade soon like most terrible fads.

Haha oh yes, mosh pit during Plug In Baby xDD A-mazing
I hope that too -____- everything has just gone way over the top for it. I mean it could've become something rather good like Harry Potter, but instead all the squealing major scary fangirls had to screw it all up

I'm disappointed by the lack of "I liked them before Black Holes" option in the poll. I'm sure there's quite a few who would select that, like myself.

Never got all the hate for Black Holes. I mean, it doesn't sound THAT much different from their other albums, and the stuff that does(Supermassive etc.) is pretty good actually. My only gripe with that album is "Invincible" and it's cheesy vibe. Other than that, it was a perfectly good album.

Well, yeah, I agree, but you never see so much crap being flung at "Origin" or any other album.

For me Black holes was nearly ruined by some horrible production, track ordering, songs being altered and the wrong songs being chosen.

Assassin sounds about a million times better with the bridge they play live. Without it, it's just a boring alt-metal song. Even Knights of Cydonia sounds awfully compressed.

Take a Bow is a great opener, but to set the tone of an album with a semi-apocalyptic rave and then go straight into a cheesy pop song is suicide. The second half of the album admittedly sounds more balanced with COD, Hoodoo and KOC all running nicely together. However, why Soldier's Poem for example is there, I really don't know. They instead left out the aptly named Glorious, which would have fit nicely.

It's still got some tunes though, which is more than can be said for The Resistance.

Black Holes is a zabajillion times better than The Resistance.... ugh

It literally took me months after The Resistance for me to listen to Muse again, and I don't think they'll ever be my favorite band again.
