Musical and heart breaking 

<MUTE>

great melody,and the voice does sound a bit like Radiohead, the music is more like Queen....me thinks

I do.  I react the same way to both of them —- dive for the mute button.

This tune is brutal.

I think this song should lay that comparison to rest. Radiohead is great, I love them mucho, but Muse is more rockin'.

So true...

Quite enjoyable in a morose kind of way; cool instrumentation and production.

...the comparisons are inevitable given the striking similarity to thom yorke's vocals in middle-era radiohead, but this is pretty good...

Dreadful.

Not only that, basically all musicians are influenced by other musicians in some sort of way, fashion or form.

8/10, just for the cover.

Ponderous, derivative, and ultimately tedious.  I've known root canals that sound better than this.   

Yep, absolution . . . that's what he needs after this song.  'Course, there is the little matter of appropriate penance first.

All this Yapping about who they sound like.   Yada yada yada. 

Why not just enjoy, or not enjoy the music for what it is, and stop with the pitiful comparisons the entire time. There are only so many notes and octives. Someone is bound to sound like someone.

Stop being so narrow-minded now peeps. Great song and AWESOME CD.

radio head is not fun

Geez... who squeezed this guy's gonads?

Fan of neither RH or MUSE, but I hear the similarity.

Muse reminds me of a hybrid of Radiohead (guitar effects)/Smashing Pumpkins (riff intensity/drumming)/Rush (fullness of sound despite the fact that there are only three band members.)

Radiohead fan I am; but Muse I happen to like, unlike many I see here.

But then again, there are tons of bands here that people gush over that make me want to hack up a hairball.

Muse is amusing to me- my opinion. Kind of like Radiohead meets liberace vs. rush meets metallica?

whine on haters :P

I don't know why Muse is constantly compared to Radiohead. There are more differences than there are similarities.

You really should be saying:

STOP. USING. THE. SAME. SONG. STRUCTURE. FOR. EVERY. TRACK!!!!

They've a very talented and tight band, but there's a reason for it, if you ask me: A lot of their songs follow a very similar pattern. You can say this about countless bands, but Muse has one that is extremely easy to identify and is not very well hidden across their discography.

STOP... TRYING .... TO..... BE .... RADIOHEAD!!!!!

Agreed that there's some radiohead in here...but it's also true that being a radiohead fun seems to bring with it the fact that one finds influences of radiohead everywhere. anyway, MUSE kind of dissappointed me after their first 2 good cds, pitty

Ditto ditto LAME overinflated drivel. It gets a 2.

I don't mind the instrumentation on this one but overall I dislike every Muse track I've ever heard because this guy's whining vocals are irritating to say the least (shudder).

agreed - first couple of times I heard it, I swore it was RadioHead. The airy feel - the off key singing - the guitars - could go on and on...
