Absolution

Black Holes and Revelations Sounding like the confident, ambitious superstars they already are in their native UK, Muse follows up their breakthrough Absolution with an album that tempers the trio's unabashed grandiosity and apocalyptic obsessions with a smart pop groove. The minimalist angst of the opening...	Origin of Symmetry Pomposity, bombast, pretension and prog-rock: they're four crimes that blight the landscape of modern music and Origin Of Symmetry--the second record by Teignmouth, U.K. angst-rockers Muse--is guilty of every single one. But the truly astonishing thing about this record is the wa...	Showbiz Often compared to Radiohead, the youngsters in Muse make no bones about their love of Thom Yorke and company. Like Radiohead and their other favorite band, Nirvana, the tracks on Muse's debut go straight for the quiet verses and windstorm choruses associated with those acts. Unfo...	Haarp CD/DVD Set It takes a certain sort of band to fill Wembley stadium, one unafraid to embrace scale, flirt with pomposity, and perform the odd grand gesture. Watching Muse's live CD/DVD H.A.A.R.P--recorded over two nights in June 2007--you're left wondering if Wembley is quite big enough to h...	In Rainbows Pink Bowl 6 1/8"
Viva La Vida To say there has been a lot of anticipation for Coldplay's fourth album, Viva La Vida, is an understatement.

Hullabaloo Soundtrack The first CD, a collection of B-sides (recorded between March 1999 & October 2001) proves that Muse have much more material under their belt than they're letting on.The second CD (a live concert recorded on October 28/29 2001 at Le Zenith in Paris) is the	Twilight Soundtrack Twilight is an action packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human.

OK Computer Radiohead's third album got compared to Pink Floyd a lot when it came out, and its slow drama and conceptual sweep certainly put it in that category. OK Computer, though, is a complicated and difficult record: an album about the way machines dehumanize people that's almost entire...	The Bends While Radiohead saw its stock rising in 1994, it wasn't until 1995's The Bends that it really became a blue chip band. And for good reason. The quintet honed its talent for bombastic Brit Rock, yet still preserved an edge of unpredictability. Even singles like the title track did...

shocked
I'm really shocked right now- Muse is a GREAT band! You probably don't think much of what I just said, but considering most bands nowadays can't write enjoyable vocal melodies, this is really incredible to me. This is a mighty fine album. I have nothing but good things to say about it. I highly recommend a purchase. Absolution is a masterpiece!

Highly Addictive. Few other recent albums can compete.
I'm not too often impressed by what I overhear on the radio/tv these days, but after hearing clips of this on the sound system of a local restaurant I searched endlessly to hunt down the artist and album. After recieving the CD, I was not dissappointed! It's highly addictive, and now I have fellow friends and relatives asking me where THEY can find it for themselves!

Tired of comparisons
Absolutly one of my favorite albums. I'm not going to be long-winded and in depth, music is personal and means something differant to everyone. As far as all the comparisons, almost everything is going to sound a bit like something else, but this record ( & muse in general ) has a sense of urgency that i've never really heard before. I listen to ALOT of music & nothing makes me want to start digging a bunker like muse ( a good thing ). Any way BUY IT & TAKE IT ON IT'S OWN MERIT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!!

Yummy
It's like Jeff Buckley and Radiohead had a melodic tryst and created MUSE! The love child of two of my favorite groups! The words are smooth and hypnotic and the music is pulsing, swirling slowly from under the vocals up into a fast, hard, beat that ends up dominating the forefront of the song. It's fabulous and sexy!

Perfect
There's a reason this cd has such a great review rating. Buy. Now. :)
