rating: 5
Absolutly one of my favorite albums. I'm not going to be long-winded and in depth, music is personal and means something differant to everyone. As far as all the comparisons, almost everything is going to sound a bit like something else, but this record ( & muse in general ) has a sense of urgency that i've never really heard before. I listen to ALOT of music & nothing makes me want to start digging a bunker like muse ( a good thing ). Any way BUY IT & TAKE IT ON IT'S OWN MERIT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!!

Yummy
rating: 5
It's like Jeff Buckley and Radiohead had a melodic tryst and created MUSE! The love child of two of my favorite groups!
The words are smooth and hypnotic and the music is pulsing, swirling slowly from under the vocals up into a fast, hard, beat that ends up dominating the forefront of the song. It's fabulous and sexy!

Put the Rach in Rock
rating: 4
Loosely conceptual foray into 21st century spirituality is another outstanding release from one of the only bands to shed their Radiohead comparisons. Instead, Bellamy's strong falsetto and background romantic-classical pianist education continue to fuel their rock music into more passionately melodic avenues of thought, although it could be a little more evenly balanced with their less daring, straight-forward rockers, still quite on point in their own right.

Music Binge
rating: 5
I stopped listening to music, buying albums and following the scene in the mid 90s being burnt out on what I thought was boring generic music that was being produced and marketed to a former KROQ listener like me. So that means I missed out on Radiohead (Bends, OK Computer, Kid A), Coldplay and of course Muse. Of course I heard of, not listened to, the 1st two bands I mentioned but didn't care. Until, I heard Coldplay's title track a few months ago. So I bought that song. I thought it was a great song but the album was not out yet and I felt like I needed more music. So I bought In Rainbows by Radiohead remembering the hype about their unique marketing last year. I loved it and wanted more.
This was a life changing experience. That eventually brought me to Muse. First, I bought Black Holes and Revelations which is some of the most unique and fun music I have ever heard. Then I got Absolution a couple weeks ago. OMG. Some of these songs put tingles in my spine. Now, I hope they break out in America and become as well known as Radiohead and Colplay. I am now a Muse fan for life.
Yes they sound alike. But that doesn't matter because they all are great bands and have their unique sound. For me, Radiohead is the best band ever with Muse a close second.
PS I have been recently watching Entourage and thought it was cool that I recognized Muse on one the episodes.
