Best Album in my opinion.~Jorge Muse is known for such good music, and this album doesn't fail to bring that power into such a cd. Am I a Muse-ian. Heck yes, and this older album of Muse is no acception to their fame.
"Cave", "Muscle Museum" and the balladic "Unintended" aren't too bad either. This Muse's debut album, and it's rather average. If you're trying out Muse for the first time, purchase "Absolution" instead. The rest or the songs are mediocre, which is why I average the album 3 stars. It actually has quite a similar "sound" to their later albums, with a mix of hard and soft-sounding rock songs, except that the songs aren't as easy to listen to, and the songs themselves are less interesting. I did fall in love with "Sunburn" and give it 5 stars.
Can't wait for them to tour the states again in the spring. Great stuff. I love Muse so much. I'm glad I found this older album that I didnt even know existed.
This was their first album and they were still searching for that sound. That said I can excuse that. ehhh to me.
Anyways, I picked this up the other day, because I was curious to hear Muse's debut. I like "Muscle Museum", "Unintended", "Hate This and I'll Love You" and "Sober". Needless to say I like Muse a lot, they're my 3rd favorite band, and I had only 2 albums, Black Holes and Absolution, before buying this.
The rest is all. Needless to say, Origin of Symmetry is a better album and has their best track, "New Born", which was used at the end of "Haute Tension". It's not a bad album.
it's not much of an album really, it's more of a taste of things to come than anything.
About the only song of Radiohead's I really like is Creep, and even that got seriously overplayed on the radio. It's fair to say I liked what I heard. Particular favorites of mine are Sunburn, Muscle Museum (which has one of the coolest basslines ever as well as some of the coolest lyrics), Cave, Showbiz, Unintended, Uno, Sober and Overdue. From the opening notes of Sunburn to the closing, this is definitely a worthwhile album.
Like a lot of people I was first introduced to Muse through reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. But I liked Muse enough to buy all their albums, well except for HAARP and the as yet unreleased new album, which I do intend to own at some point. I'll grant that the band's sound and Matt Bellamy's vocals bear some similarity to Radiohead, but unlike Radiohead I was instantly hooked on Muse. Since she drew so much inspiration from their music I was curious to check them out.
There are no songs onthe CD that I actually dislike, although I like some less than others. All in all a great start for a great band. My first stop was Wikipedia, where I learned as much as I could about the band themselves, then I hopped on over to Amazon, where I listened to sound samples from most of their albums. Showbiz is surprisingly solid for a debut release.
