The 2 most overused statements by people that think they are the authority on music...
1) (Fill in the band) are sellouts.
2) (Fill in the band) are (Fill in the band) ripoffs.
isnt everyband a ripoff of another band..
Muse is good band and awesome live.

I saw Muse last year at the Austin City Limits fest, I decided to check them out b/c I was seeing Arcade Fire on their own 2 weeks later. I didn't know anything about them or any of their songs, only that I had heard they were a really good live band.
I was impressed, most of the songs had a lot of energy and their light show was cool. I don't think I'd pay to go see them on their own, but I'm glad I got to check them out.

Citizen Erased is an AMAZING song, awesome guitar work, and the mellow bit at the end is just incredible. One of the few bands I genuinely think deserve all the hype.
seen them 4 times in various types of venues, love em. theyre also remarkably good at pulling off the "trickery" from the studio work into a live setting.
and anyone whos seen them from the front of the crowd when they played Stockholm Music or Hyper Music will know just how fuckin loud this band can be.
SO GOOD.
showbiz is still one of my faves cos its more riff-heavy, sounds like more of an In Utero rip-off than Radiohead to me...
I went from not knowing much about them to within 1 1/2 years being obsessed with them. They're amazing live, their studio albums are spectacular especially Absolution. I've grown to appreciate their earlier work as of late, especially stuff of Origin Of Symmetry like Space Dementia, Citizen Erased, & Megolomania. This band is the modern era Queen, I'm excited to see what the future holds for them.

I'll fucking say! They rock like absolute beasts live - here's a wicked version of Citizen Erased:

That's funny, same here I went from saying who is this MUSE who's headlining all these festivals, back in the beginning of '07 to LOVING them. Seen the twice, at Lolla then a week later in Boston. Grabbed all their CD's, Absolution, Hullabaloo and HAARP and love them all. Although I still think the Glastonbury and Reading festival boot DVD's are my favorite.
I think of them as a modern day Pink Floyd whereas PJ is our modern day Zeppelin. Like Pink Floyd I think Muse is an acquired taste and you either love 'em or hate 'em while PJ is much more accessible.
As someone previously stated they are a band that truly does deserve all the hype.

absolution is my favorite album
favorite song is kind of hard to pick its a tie between New Born and Hysteria
saw them live in '07, greatest show I've ever been to, hands down.
PJ at MSG in 2008! Mission Accomplished
The band all knows. We're too afraid to mention.
Don't want to be part of Frank's luncheon.
Lose weight. Be safe. Where's Mike McCready?
My god he's been ate!
Other than the singers singing sounding almost identical to Thom Yorke.
Yeah that whole comparison came about when their first album came out, and there wasn't really anyone else they could be compared to. In all reality it was only really the vocals that sounded similar, and Muse have certainly gone on to prove the naysayers wrong - they are every bit as good as Radiohead.
So I got their live cd/dvd yesterday HOLY SHIT! It is so fucking impressive and I'm now really pissed off at myself for not going to either of the shows. I must see this band live again.

I find Matt and Thom's vocals so different.
