Curiosity about Muse

[InfiniteSingularity]

Used to love them before they were all high profile & mainstream. They're still good, no doubt, but I've moved onto other things

 

[Nickolai77]

Instrumentally they can be pretty good, personally i'm not to keen on the vocal style however.

 

[Amyamy]

Never been that keen on Muse. They´ve got some good songs, but never been a fan really. Have to agree that their sound has become very generic indeed. It´s a shame though.

 

[Pojo-san]

I personally enjoy Muse. I have a lot of their songs on my MP3 player. I personally enjoy there Absolution album the most with my favorite songs being "Soldier Side", "Uprising", "Sing for Absolution", and "Undisclosed Desires." I got to go to one of their concerts and I really liked it. I couldn't help but laugh at a commercial once where they were using "Butterflies and Hurricanes." They were using the song to showcase some new seasons of popular shows on a certain channel with that song playing in the background. It was suppose to sound uplifting and inspirational, but I knew that they got it wrong because the song is about getting revenge on someone and bidding your time to do it. It made me laugh pretty hard.

On a side note, I enjoy them because they are much better than any of today's American rock groups. Seriously what happened to American rock music? Did the nasty drug habit known as "the 80s" leave permanent brain damage to the music industry? They are a very few songs from the 90s to the present that I enjoy.

Soldier's Side is a System Of A Down song I think you meant Soldier's Poem.

/faceplam your right. That's what I meant

I sort of like their first two albums. Not really a fan of the band, though.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Meh, I can take them or leave them. They're not bad, but they're not that great either. I remember hearing Origin of Symmetry for the first time and I had to be told it was this band called Muse, as I honestly thought it was a new Radiohead album (a misconception which didn't go down well).

And the one track of theirs that I like above all others has been covered (and I think bettered) by Joe Bonamassa anyway:

And even that was a cover version. The original is by Nina Simone and was written far before Muse started making music

Anyway, I really hated the whiny singer's voice for a very, very long time. Found my way to their music with 'Black Holes and Revelations'.

Well there you go, I'm less of a Muse fan than I thought I was, and I didn't really like them that much in the first place!

And you're right, the vocals do take some getting past.

 

[Broady Brio]

I like them. Haven't really listened to The Resistance yet.

My BROTHER on the other hand? He went to see them live at Wembley Stadium where HAARP was made. Something tells me he likes them a lot.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Saw them live last September. It was amazing!

So yeah, I like them.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

I adore everything leading up to "The Resistance". I really don't dig that album. >_<

 

[suitepee7]

I like them. I can't think of anyone who doesn't like them, tbh.

well hello there!

nah joking aside, i liked them up till black holes and revelations, and i liked 1 or two tracks off that album. the new album i thought was... awful.

early stuff is great though, even if matt bellamy is a tad overrated in comparison to other frontmen who are just less mainstream though

 

[JanatUrlich]

Love them. Seen them live 3 times now including Wembley ;D

 

[Sethzard]

Love them. I can definitely understand people not liking Matt Bellamy's voice, but instrumentally they're amazing, and I've never seen a better live performance.

I take it you've never been to a Jonothan Coulton/Paul and Storm concert then.

I'm not a fan, but that probably has quite a bit to do with there is one guy who is incredibly in your face about his fetishistic love of Muse. He thinks that they're the second coming and that just by liking them you're well versed in music.

 

[solar065]

One of my favourite bands; though I like their first album, Showbiz, best.

I can understand people not liking bellamy's vocals, but I think they're brilliant.

 

[b3nn3tt]

Their latest album is terrible. Black Holes and Revelations has a few very good songs, but also a few that are not good. Everything before that I love

 

[Cazza]

They're good. Not at the top of my list but I don't skip them when they come on.
