Muse

I don't like them as much as I used to, but they are still one of my favorite bands to listen to every now and then. My favorite overall album would be Absolution as it contains a larger number of more of my favorite tracks. However, Showbiz has my favorite track by them, "Muscle Museum". Black Holes & Revelations is a very decent album, but no where near as great as the other two previously mentioned ones.

They have some fairly interesting videos as well. My favorite would probably be "Time Is Running Out".

Muse have gone down hill so rapidly. They were soooooooooo good, then they bring out songs like Starlight, I mean WTF, they bring out amazing songs like Time Is Running Out, then start playing songs like Starlight. To give them respect, Assasin was a good song, I liked that, plus Knight of Cydonia. They are the only good songs on the ablbum appart from Map Of The Problematique, witch I loved more than those other two. But Muse should buck up thier ideas.

A band that breaks into the mainstream, accused of losing their touch? Well I never! :rolleyes2

I like Starlight :(

And well said Cz.

I actually found every one of their songs on their new album quite catchy, and fairly decent. I do, however, like their old stuff a lot.

Oh, I like Muse a lot! Good band!

Muse = Love.

"Hysteria" is probably my favorite from them, I also like "Time is Running Out" and "Map of the Problematique" from their new album. I prefer Absolution over their new album, though.

I once met Matthew Bellamy after a gig.
Only once though. :-(

Dude, the public listen to anything and call it good. I never said they were losing thier touch, I meant it as they are changing thier genre a lot. Muse isn't Coldplay, Coldplay are mellow inde, muse are pop-rock, when I listen to pop-rock bands, I want to hear pop-rock not inde.

Time Is Running Out = Pop-rock

Starlight = inde

I don't think that releasing one single without over-the-top distortion and a falsetto-filled climax counts as changing their genre. Besides, it's still got some synth arpeggios in the chorus, so it's hardly unrecognisable as a Muse song. :p

Still, it's fair enough if you don't like the song. I'm not a huge Muse fan myself, so I'm in no position to judge the relative merits of their previous and more recent works. What concerns me is that the term "indie" appears to be becoming synonymous with "popular drivel".

I know what you mean. I enjoy inde music as much as the next man/woman. One of my favorite bands in that genre are The Verve, "The Drugs Dont Work" is one of the greatest well written song in inde. It also conserns me that inde has now been snapped up as a sub-genre of Popular Culture music, it was once its own genre and stood out, now it has been taken over by the musical cancer that grows more and more every year, that cancer is known as Pop.

I guess Starlight isn't that bad. Not as bad as some of the crap playing on the radio at the moment.
