MUSE IS THE SHIT!
Holy crap. I knew this album was good but it went on the backburner for the last year.
Just pulled it out again tonight.
How awesome is "Exo-Politics" by the way????
Just thought I'd throw it out for some much appreciation!

i really hope they play that song at Lolla
Some die just to live.
Untill their will grows tired
They put on an absolutely stunning live show ..
WEMBLEY STADIUM LAST MONTH (Short clip of 'Knights of Cydonia') .. I was there - brilliant, fantastic, totally special !!
and
LIVE AT GLASTONBURY (Hysteria followed by New Born)
:cool:
I got to see them both 2 days apart .. unbelievable luck both bands were in London the same weekend

what Muse songs are getting played on the radio in the States/Canada?.. and how often?..
- the great Sir Leo Harrison
They're much rockier and raw and have such a big sound for a 3 (sometimes 4) piece, heavy bass and powerful lead guitar... & bags of energy! Knights of Cydonia works so well live... it was their opening song at Wembley stadium and the whole place errupted, one of those unforgettable moments:D In fact all the songs (I've heard them play) from this album sound better live. I think the album has been slightly overproduced if anything. "Invincible" was probably my least favourite but it's an intense live song that builds and builds. Matt Bellamy CAN sing... and with CD album sales down 30% from last year it's all about live music anyway .. so in that respect Muse hit the spot
Muse have been accused of ripping off so many bands now .. Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Queen, even Rachmaninov! :rolleyes: .. don't all bands have influences?.. I don't hear 'rip off', I hear 'influences', to me they're essentially "Muse" with their own distinct sound and way of entertaining (some like it, some don't *shrugs*)
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.
Yeah, the weird thing is I like all other Muse albums. I don't think they've ripped people off before - the biggest accusation is Radiohead, but they've always been louder than Radiohead.
It's not Muse, it's this album. Yeah you're right, it's overproduced. I have a problem with the idea that you'll like something after you've seen it live. You either like songs or you don't, and to me, this album I just don't like most of.
I quite like Invincible because it reminds me of Absolution, and I loved that album.
- the great Sir Leo Harrison
Maybe you won't like something more after seeing it live, but I think it can make you appreciate it more.. as with Invincible, for me.
BH&R is quite a change, definitely more ambitious and bombastic than their earlier stuff. But I suppose that's what they wanted to do and took the gamble .. on the whole it's paying off so far. (I bet the Americans will love it!
Origin of Symmetry is still my favourite Muse album though.
Choosing the shiny ones instead'
Reading 06 - Torino 06 - Wembley 07

Saw them live at Wembley Arena (not stadium) last year and was slightly disapointed, they played well but really Matt probably muttered about 10 words alnight and all the songs played were nearly Idenical to there album counterparts. Sure there were lots of effects (fireworks, lights, balloons) but more crowd interaction and some reworking of the songs would have been better (like Pearl Jam and The Tragically Hip do).
Uhhhhh...yeah.
Absolution and Origin of Symmetry are amazing too.

Wow, I wonder what you actually look for in a live act?!
Last time I saw them live was Reading last year, and they were fucking astounding. Seriously I don' think there is a tighter band on the planet, and the energy they create with their performances goes beyond words. Did you watch the youtube clips someone else posted on the first page? In particular the Hysteria/New Born one from Glastonbury, if not here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYZjp_QRZrY - now if you find that boring, please give me an example of what you find interesting (other than PJ, cause that's a no brainer).
Anyway, I love the album although my favourite will probably always be Origin Of Symmetry.
Hey I was there too and wasn't really impressed, too big a scene! And I was so excited for the night's after gig that I just didn't give it too much importance (and you know whom I am talking about!)!
But I am seeing them tonight in Monaco, small stadium, fewer people, more friends around...It s going to be good! I saw them 3/4 years ago play for a small crowd (8.000 peep) and they totally rocked!
But nothing compares to PEARL JAM!!!!!!!!!!
"You my friend, I will defend and if we change, well I love you anyway"
"I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine, I AM MINE"
.. no pleasing some people
I like that they don't talk too much .. it could end up breaking the flow of music and visual effects. Reworking of the songs might come later .. ?.. when they've been around a few more years and things need freshening up, but for now I personally don't want songs messed with.
Mike_Muse_Rage .. strange you should think Muse "a boring live act" (boring!?? :eek: ) when you have Muse in your username???
Only because all their albums are worth owning and listening to! ... My guess is they'll play mostly stuff from Absolution and Black Holes & Revelations, because their first two albums weren't released in the USA and therefore not so well known (Downloads have probably made a bit of difference though.) Also their first album, Showbiz, sounds quite childish in comparison to this latest album, so maybe they don't feel comfortable playing much from Showbiz anymore. Each album is a progression and shows how they've developed and matured as a band.
Where were you sat?.. I got tickets in the presale and was seated up front, just 2 rows off the floor. Brilliant view and sound. Everyone was a huge Muse fan and went nuts, jumping, singing, dancing.. Very friendly too, and a big age range .. right from young teenagers to the couple of old guys sat along from me. We had a fantastic night. I've heard a few people say it wasn't great from the really high seats and from the back though .. too far away. but that's not Muse's fault that's just the venue. Wembley is HUGE .. feels alot bigger than the old stadium. (is it ??)
Like you say, Monaco should be better. Smaller venue .. I'm very envious!! I'd love to see them again but no funds left, and they're leaving Europe soon :(
Summary .. IF YOU DON'T OWN THIS ALBUM .. BUY IT NOW! C

OOS was re-released in the States after absoultion.
Don't forget Hullabaloo...sweet B-sides and a live show from Paris.
origin of symmetry is great
