So I went to a party last night and begin talking to this nice guy I met randomly and the topic of music came up. He asked me what my favorite band was and of course I said Pearl Jam and I got the typical "Yeah I like Pearl Jam" then he said "Have you heard of Muse?" I said yeah and that I had got a few of their albums from a friend about a year ago but never listened to them. He said "You've got to hear them! I'd say they're one of the best bands of our time." So he inspired and I gave "Absolution" a listen and so far I like it. It has a great sound! Discuss...

    Absolution is a great album. Love it!

    Black Holes & Revelations is a great listen too - Starlight & Knights of Cydonia will get you hooked.

    Origin Of Symmetry and Black Holes & Revelations are also great albums. Once you've immersed yourself in their studio stuff a little bit, H.A.A.R.P. is one of the best live albums/DVDs I've ever seen.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    I love Muse. All the albums are great in their own way, and they really do have a great sound. Definitely one of the best bands of the decade.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    And after immersing yourself in the audio, get yourself to the real thing:

    Muse live is a whole other animal!
    "I'm here to see Pearl Jam."- Bono

    Amen! Words can barely describe Muse live, they're just immense.

    that is a phenomenal live album.

    i think i'm the only person who thinks 'absolution' is their weakest effort by far. it's just too long and to dragging and same-y by the end. at least the two before that were a bit more lean and focused. black holes and revelations kicks ass.

    i like muse, but if ever a band was ripe for a compilation, it's them. great live act and album, but black holes aside, their albums are horribly inconsistent. i like variety as much as anyone, but when they go into a slow song on the album it's painful. piercing wailing vocals over a boring piano line.

    the next song usually kicks ass though ;)
    and like that... he's gone.
