Not to be picky, but...Black HOLES and Revelations.
Can't wait.
Can't wait for them to start touring here. I passed them up the last time they came to town--BIG mistake that I will not be making again!

Good stuff, my friend, good stuff

Well to me I am a big muse fan as well, but these two new songs on the myspace page to me are too cheesey. There isn't much change in the songs and the tempos are near enough the same all the way through out. I give them credit for trying something new etc but to me this new 'electro' style isn't to my liking.

ya i always thought of them more as a punk band, not this electronic stuff.... meh

ADbassman · #10 06-27-2006, 12:13 PM

Their entire album is now up on their myspace page.

I'm listening to it now and though it isn't as accessible as Absolution, or even Origin and Showbiz, it is a direct descendent of those discs. As mature as Absolution was, this record seems even more so. There are no obvious "singles", like Time Is Running Out or Hysteria, but there are some serious tunes there to be had.

Previous to the entire CD, I'd heard only Knights of Cydonia (love it!) and Supermassive Blackhole (iffy on that). Now I've heard everything but 2.5 songs and I gotta say that upon first listen, it's a big question mark, but I have a feeling this will grow on me and I will love it like the other CDs.

Songs of note: Invincible and Assassin. Watch out! City of Delusion is pretty cool too. Has a Butterflies and Hurricanes vibe to it (and a funky bass break!).

And speaking of bass, if you loved Chris' distorted tones in Absolution, they're back with a vengance on this disc.

***? A trumpet solo?

I digress...

I gotta say, I am enjoying this immensely.

I <3 MUSE.

Its taken me a few times but its grown on me in a day. I think Origin of Symmetry is still their best album though.

awesome, good to hear that (both your presence at the show and your view on the album)

i'm still yet to give it a listen. my only internet access at present is my computer at work from which i can't play music. i'm going to have to wait until it's released unless i can find my friend before that.

agreed on both counts...

I just got it yesterday and am listening to it in preps for their concert in san francisco.

PurplePurple · #16 07-06-2006, 02:10 PM

I'm really exited for it. I didnt think absolution was THAT great and I thought that SHowbiz was much much better. Don't get me wrong I loved absolution but some of the songs where just "blaerh".

**Vorago** · #17 07-06-2006, 02:55 PM

I'm not very excited about the new single...

If you're talking about Supermassive Black Hole, give it some time. It really grew on me after a few listens. But if you're talking about Knights of Cydonia, then you have no taste.

Seriously, I saw a live video of KoC and at the part with the crazy Queen harmonies, just before the riffing, the way they build it. Wow. Once the riffing starts, I challenge you not to rock out like Garth and Wayne. It's intense!

Frankly, I wasn't all that impressed by their new album. Seems kinda Anti-Climatic after Absolution. I'm not a big fan of the whole techno electronica vibe.

Though I do agree that Origin of Symmetry was their best album.

Yeah, I thought Muse had something very original going, and this whole electronica meets rock thing isn't exactly new.

Then again, was it possible to make an even more bombastic album?
