Not as good as Symmetry or Resistance but still a great work of art. This band pushes the boundaries of contemporary rock music and is a refreshing alternative to their peers, who mostly just copy one another. This band's stark, operatic style is mesmerizing and delightfully radio-unfriendly.

This is the first Muse CD I'd ever heard. It's a revelation. Seriously.

Muse encompasses everything I love about music

"Ever read a book, see a piece of artwork, or hear something so profound....that it screams out to the very core of who you are and resonates with every cell in your being? I have loved music more than any other art or media form since I was old enough to know what music was. Muse is beautiful, unhindered, melodic, complex, and powerful. Quite simply, Muse has created the music my ears and soul have been waiting for my entire life."

Nothing short of stunning.

"I love music but hail back to the days of the 70s prog rock period when you listened to the album from beginning to end. There are few CDs today that match that period (not a knock but a recognition of the times.) So I was wonderfully surprised to pick up this CD while waiting for my wife and listened at full volume in my truck (which has a great sound system.) I was blown away. Powerful, sweeping, melodic, engaging. For the first time in a long while a CD to make my spine tingle. Something to listen - and enjoy - in it's entirety.



I could hear all sorts of influences - Queen, Rammstein, but so much more.



This is original and powerful work.



Now I have a pile of other Muse CDs to acquire and enjoy. Just glad I stumbled across this one."
