Is Muse anyone elses personal drug? (1 Viewer)

[st. andrew]

My brother introduced me to them a few weeks ago and man... they have got some really good stuff. I haven't seen their music brought up on here, so I wanted to go and post some stuff.

They're not my personal drug, but I've been listening to them for a few years now, and I enjoy them very much so.

That is a great song V. Stockholm Syndrome is also a great one. Do they get much air play outside of Europe though?

I always hear people saying they are an inferior version of Radiohead.

I think they have it backwards.

I consider them my third favorite band after U2 and Better Than Ezra.

What I love about Muse is that I can listen to every single one of their albums from start to finish. Especially Origins of Symmetry. I don't understand why they are so criminally underrated here in the States.

My favorite songs by them are New Born, Plug In Baby, Butterflies and Hurricanes, and Exo-Politics.

The only thing that takes a little getting used to is the way Matt Bellamy has very pronounced intakes of breath before he sings a line. It was jarring at first but now I find it endearing.

I recommend their live album HAARP. Maybe the best live album I have ever heard.

I don't think their music is anything like Radiohead. Its like comparing The Soundtrack to Last of the Mohicans to the SOundtrack of I Know What You Did Last Summer (and I mean that from a none harsh manner). They are two different sounds.

They're awesome. I don't know why they haven't caught on much in the states. I've been a fan for a few years now.

I really like a good bit of their work. Surprised they're not more mainstream. Well, maybe I'm not surprised.

 

[LanceStarr]

I could pretty much listen to Time is Running Out all day long...

 

[rockoo]

Muse is the bomb i like them a lot. wish i can see them in concert. the live cd is great. Map of the Problematique is a good song

First I've heard of them, but I like it so far. Defintely doesn't remind me of Radiohead. I instantly thought of She Wants Revenge, but with a harder edge.

ive been familiar with them for a few years now, i like The Small Print, Time Is Running Out, Stockholm Syndrome, Hysteria, Supermassive Black Hole, Map of the Problematique, Knights of Cydonia, New Born, actually pretty much all of Origin...good stuff
