Someone tell muse they suck and the lead singer has some ****ed up grills.

I got it for my dad and have heard it twice now. I cannot say I'm a fan of it. It's nothing compared to their older albums.

There's no 0/5 option?

Might be harsh rating an album I've not heard the whole way through, but what I did hear was enough for me..

1 star means you think it's a bomb anyway.

I enjoyed it. You can hear that they were going for a singles era where only favorited songs are downloaded. It's a shame they released it on the brink of the free music revolution that is bound to happen. If they had waited to release it like radiohead's pay what you want album I bet it would have been even more successful. BUT they have a label to keep happy. I hear their live show is nevertheless amazing than it was before.

I do love Muse, especially Showbiz (my favorite of theirs) and The Resistance, but The 2nd Law disappointed me. It's still a very solid album, and I can obviously appreciate Muse's willingness to experiment by blending other genres into their music, but it all feels disjointed. There's EDM, followed by alt rock, followed by more EDM, followed by dubstep. It just doesn't feel like the whole album came together under a proper sound.

That said, I still rate it an 8/10 because while it doesn't succeed as an entire album, almost every song individually is strong. I especially love the Bowie-esque "Panic Station" and the underrated "Madness."

Was their worst album-to-date. A light 2/5.

I am not fan of Muse. But this album changed that. BRILLIANT!

really like this album as a step away from the old stuff!

I'd give it 3/5. The first nine songs ranges from alright to great. Then the album takes a nosedive with the last four tracks, sadly.
