Gallagher Rose Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 If today's bands are full of retro sounds and shite like The Coral,The Hives,Wolfmother and Fratellis..Muse is the future.Their songs are fuckin' brilliant.Never gave them my 2 cents in the past,but after hear "Absolution" and "Black Holes and Revelations" just changed my mind.Great albums and great live band,Matt is a great guitarist and put some immense performances on stage..Wembley 2007 concerts are a good example.Their videos are truly fantastic..try to search on youtube for "Sing for Absolution","Knights of Cydonia","Time is running Out","Invincible","Unintended","Plug in Baby" and "Starlight"..most of them are pieces of art!

Streetchild Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I never really cared for them, but after seeing them live I totally changed my mind. They're awesome. One of the best live bands out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrShankly Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Absolutely love them. One of my favourite bands. I seen them live around November or something last year. They were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_TH Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yes, great band. Hated them at first , but they've come into their own. Seen them live twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCGNR Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The first time I heard them on the radio, I was hooked. I remember thinking ( like everyone else) that it was Radiohead, but I was telling myself that the guitars were too heavy and it was just different.I think they're great, and I think that they would make a dynamite duo with Gnr to do a Stadium tour sometime in the future.

Teroz Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I must say that they are really good live, but I really don't like their music. But gotta have respect for them for the live quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverythingWasRoses Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Decided to check 'em out after all the ranting and raving that went on about them here.I was very impressed, immediately hooked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridin' the Nightrain Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I still love Muse but it's sad seeing them go downhill. I've been a fan of them since the OOS days.They're still one of the premier live rock acts in the world for sure though. I saw them at Wembley Stadium a few weeks ago (second time seeing them live) and they were immense. They have so much energy and presence for a three piece band. They're really good at putting on a spectacle.Trouble is the new songs really suck. Really. Knights of Cydonia and Starlight are the only two good songs from BH&R. The rest are really boring. Absolution was the start of them going downhill, but that was still a solid album. BH&R was the last nail in the coffin. I really can't see them producing another great album like Showbiz or OOS now. They've been sucked into the mainstream too much. BH&R is basically the UYI2 of their catalogue - totally splitting away from their roots and going down a bloated road. Gone are the violent, mind blowing riffs that made me fall in love with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Power Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I've been a fan for pretty long myself. Since Origin of Symmetry was released. I was hooked first time I heard Plug In Baby. It was amazing. Since then they have released Absolution which in my opinion is their best album. I just can't get enough of that album, or of Muse generally. I don't agree that they have been going downwards lately. BHAR was amazing. Listen to Knights of Cydonia, Assassin, Map of Problematique, or just the whole record. It's not as good as Absolution or Origin, but its pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallagher Rose Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Absolution has some special moments,very well produced album.BHAR is very good too,their second best album in my opinion!Some fantastic tunes of the band are: Unintended,Plugin Baby,Blackout,Map of the Problematique,Stockholm Syndrome,Starlight..there are tons of great songs.

Dead Flower Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Stockholm Syndrome is epic. I swear I went close to shitting my pants when I saw 'em play it live.Starting to agree with 'Ridin' the Nightrain', though. The last couple haven't held up as well as Showbiz and OOS.

Appetite 4 Axl Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 They are good live. I felt like aliens were beaming down. Might have been the weed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
