I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING BUT THE SECOND PICTURE
-
how could you fall asleep listening to origin of symmetry?
-
The first song is good I guess, but eventually the melodies get so damn repetitive and generic I kinda dose off. Then the second song does the same thing (piano-BIG RIFF-mumbling wailing-BIG RIFF). I fell asleep and woke up at the beginning of Hyper Music, then fell asleep after track 6.
So right now I'm listening to the full album. It's better now that I'm not sleepy
-
Absolution!
-
OoS > Absolution
-
omg omg omg track 10
:bow
-
<3 Showbiz and Absolution. I either love or hate every song on Origin of Symmetry.
-
I forgot which album Cajole suggested I listen to first so I just picked their first album
-
But you didn't. Showbiz is their first. I suggested either Absolution or OoS first. I started with Absolution first, which is still my favorite.
-
EXPLAIN
-
YOU KNOW WHY
-
But you didn't. Showbiz is their first. I suggested either Absolution or OoS first. I started with Absolution first, which is still my favorite.
I thought OoS was their first SMH. Is Showbiz a good pick to check out next?
-
It's as good as any, yeah.
-

Mine tooo :bow
I also started with it, with Time is Running out to be exact.
And whoever said OoS > Absolution, wtf??
-
Most people on here think OoS > Absolution, actually. I've grown to like OoS quite a bit, but yeah, I still like Absolution more.
-
Ok, after my first coherent listen through: the album seems to be a mix of awesome songs and average songs, with the latter being more prominent. There are no "bad" songs on here
-
Showbiz is a weak debut imo. I'm not too fond of it. OoS is my fave because it was my first. If Aboslution were my first it'd probably be my fave as well.

and what average songs are these? i think the entire album is a banger, myself.
-
Himu we are discussing a rock album, not jungle bunny noise; this is not a "banger", it's kick ass
-
Pretty good, might pick the rest up.
-
It seems that people in the OoS > Absolution camp thinks Showbiz is weak, while the others like it.
You know what, just listen to Absolution next, PD.
-
Himu we are discussing a rock album, not jungle bunny noise; this is not a "banger", it's kick ass
well then what are these so called average songs?
-
I agree with PD. Muse has some good songs and some djhjjhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
Proof that Muse is godly. Just made PD and TVC agree.
-
oh they have no doubt some average songs, I'm just curious what he thinks is average on OoS. There are some songs I'm not as fond of as others, but nothing screams average to me.

Songs that are omg awesome:
-Hyper Music
-Plug in Baby
-Dark Shines
-Feeling Good
-Citizen Erased
Average songs:
-New Born
-Bliss
-Space Dementia
-Screenager
-Megalomania
Remember "average" doesn't mean "bad". I mean sure, there's bad average I guess, like say Karen Page
-
Really? I could settle for Space Dementia and Screenager but New Born, Bliss, and Megalomania?
-
He listened to live versions I sent him first.
-

I really don't like New Born's riff. The piano opening is somewhat cryptic and majestic, then this modern Green Day esque riff comes out of nowhere and kinda kills the mood. Same with Bliss in terms of the riff.

I duno. OoS was recommended to me as their best when I had never heard Muse and it made me think "meh" for some time. PD's list is pretty much spot on except that I like megalomania.

Sorry to post a long AIM convo, but I am speechless
(4:15:22 PM) PhoenixDark0: i really like Feeling Good
(4:16:23 PM) CajoleJuice: well feeling good is a cover :P
(4:16:38 PM) PhoenixDark0: wtf
(4:16:41 PM) PhoenixDark0: of who
(4:16:47 PM) CajoleJuice: of like tons of people
(4:17:10 PM) CajoleJuice: you mean to tell me you've never heard that song before?
(4:17:58 PM) CajoleJuice: they have this cool song called house of the rising sun
(4:18:03 PM) CajoleJuice: you should check that out too
(4:18:24 PM) PhoenixDark0: .......
(4:18:37 PM) PhoenixDark0: i might have heard feeling good before
(4:19:00 PM) PhoenixDark0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBy4QXAAil8
(4:19:08 PM) PhoenixDark0: i've heard this before. just didn't make the connection
(4:19:17 PM) CajoleJuice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeling_Good
(4:19:47 PM) PhoenixDark0: SMH
(4:20:13 PM) CajoleJuice: you shake your head at yourself?
(4:20:33 PM) CajoleJuice: here, let me send you house of the rising sun, though
(4:20:36 PM) CajoleJuice: not a cover at all
(4:20:57 PM) PhoenixDark0: mother fucker i know who the kinks are
(4:21:19 PM) CajoleJuice: it was by the animals.
-
:-\
-
Just to be clear, I know the Animals version is a cover itself, but I knew what PD was thinking of. :lol
-
You didn't realize that was a cover...?
-
So SMH stands for Shaking My Head?
Thanks, now I know that as well.
-
In my opinion, Origin of Symmetry >>>>> Black Holes and Revelations >>> Absolution > Hullabaloo >>>>> Showbiz.
I got into Muse by OoS. :rock
-
Muscle Museum is one of the only really good Muse songs
I also like plug in baby
-
Really? I could settle for Space Dementia and Screenager but New Born, Bliss, and Megalomania?
I'm really liking Megalomania now :bow
-
Every song on Origin of Symmetry is great, and Megalomania is a fucking fantastic way to end the album. It's Muse's 2nd best outro (after Knights of Cydonia).
-
The thing is, Knights feels more like an intro. Probably why they start concerts with it.
-
Yeah, it can work both ways. I think it has more to do with the fact that Black Holes had some sketchy track ordering in the first place.
