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'.

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...

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.

 
Perfect!

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

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.

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

whine on haters :P


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.)

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.

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

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...

Went to see Live in december 1999. There was this totally unknown band called Muse opening for them. I have never, ever seen a band nobody knew get the audience so worked up. It was a great concert (And the main act was awesome too :-)

I don't think that two Radioheads is too many. While Thom Yorke et al are taking a breather, these guys can pick up the slack.

Saw them live at the Roskilde festival. A tremendous concert! Both the band and the crowd were fantastic. As for being off key, well, he might be wailing, but he's not off key. I find the desperate melancholic tone really fits in with the instruments. You should hear when he gets behind the piano : )

there's no "Starsailor"-connection here. Listen to "Muse - Bliss" and listen your arguments go down the drain!

THANKS did you get any more of Muse accepted?????

very much like Ours, imho.


Yes, Endlessly which will probably also get similar reactions to those below! - ie you either love it or you hate it. No matter, there's plenty music that I love and just as much that I hate on RP. It'd be a dull world if we all liked the same music - thanks to Bill G we can say what we think. I'm pleased you're in the former category though! I haven't uploaded any others, but I think I've seen some other Muse tracks in the LRC, so they might make it through.
