Curiosity about Muse

[Pearwood]

They're alright, nothing more, nothing less. It's all decent but there's nothing about it that makes me want to declare them one of my favourites.

 

[ScoopMeister]

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

Sweeping generalizations don't work, and I don't like them. All their songs are the same, and the lead voice needs to open his mouth more when he sings. Oh, and the person who posted beneath you doesn't like them either, accurate generalization you made there

Calm down buddy. For all you know, he could be saying that he personally doesn't know anyone that dislikes Muse. That being the case, of course he wouldn't have been thinking of you when he made that comment. Stop being so selfish to think that he would. Regardless, even if that's not what he meant, you are taking the comment way too seriously.

And for the love of God, don't present your opinions as facts. Ever. Again.

Speaking of inaccurate generalisations, how exactly are these songs all the same?

Muse is a splendid band!.....there newest album wasent so good though...after black holes and revelations they sort of went down hill

You're funny x] You generalise too.

I didn't say everyone likes them, I said I can't think of anyone who doesn't like them. Various people I know who otherwise have very different music preferences all seem to like Muse at least somewhat, and I never heard anyone say they don't like Muse before this thread.

 

[Hazzaslagga]

I like them but a lot of their songs on their newer album i find not very good. I do have good memories of stockholm sydrome and resident evil 4, it just worked.

 

[SillyBear]

Don't like them at all.

At first they were Radiohead rip offs, then they had a few good albums, then they went too "epic". I was a fan for a while, but I really can't bare listening to them anymore. They are pretentious I think. They have a very simple song structure and dress it up with elaborate vocals and guitar/piano.

I admire them technically though, they're fucking talented.

 

[AngloDoom]

Love them.

Musically talented, don't all sound the same, aren't afraid to mix it up a little, and can I love the vocalist.

I can see why other people wouldn't, but I'm a pretty big fan.

 

[Rabish Bini]

They're fairly good. Although I like them because I love Radiohead

Absolution was a fantastic album

 

[feauxx]

like a few songs but certainly not all. don't listen to them very much. something about muse rubs me the wrong way, though not as much as coldplay does.

i like bliss, hysteria (awesome bass-line FTW), supermassive blackhole, knights of cydonia and starlight.

 

[Cheesus333]

YES!

EPIC SONG PLUG GO!

Spoiler: Starlight - Muse

Spoiler: Glorious - Muse

Spoiler: Stockholm Syndrome - Muse

Spoiler: Falling Away With You - Muse

Spoiler: Endlessly - Muse

While this does suck, "Neutron Star Collision" is a pretty bitchin' song.

Trudat. If you ignore the video, it is actually really good.

 

[El Poncho]

I like some of their songs but most of their songs just sound the same to me, my friend has assaulted me for saying that to her, oh well

 

[Alleged_Alec]

First albums were okay. Later ones weren't that good...

 

[ChaoticKraus]

I find the actual songs and music to be a bit boring honestly, they take themselves very seriously but they don't make up for it in interesting-ness.

They can very well be technically good but that comes secondary to grabbing the listeners ear.

 

[The_Fezz]

I quite like Uprising, though one of my friends absolutely despises them for extremely petty and biased reasons, I mean when attempting to annoy people I will sing most of their stuff but I'm not prone to listening to them in my spare time.

 

[ENKC]

Like them, seen them, have all the albums. Not really a major fan though. They wouldn't rate on a shortlist of my thirty favourite bands.

 

[Ulixes Dimon]

How many Escapists like Muse? I've been a fan of them since Origin of Symmetry, and I'm just curious how many others on the Escapist like them.

I am a shameless fanboy.
Do you like Ours and/or Radiohead?

Of course it's a matter of taste, I find their music refreshingly unique.

I LOVES Muse \o/

Showbiz rocked! They are the best live band imo, I have too many fav songs of theirs to list

I absolutely loved their live show! Pretty much know the words to every song xp

 

[similar.squirrel]

Hullabaloo and Origin of Symmetry are masterpieces, but I don't really care for their later stuff. Great live band, though.

 

[RipperSU]

I can take or leave them. Their first album is too much like Radiohead for me to take it seriously. Origin of Symmetry and Absolution are pretty good albums, especially Stockholm Syndrome,which I think is the best song they've done. From thereon they just seem to get more up their own backsides. I'm a fan of prog, but not prog for the sake of it like Muse seem to have degenerated to.
