Muse
Knights Of Cydonia

I'd give it a 10, but that's me being a bias Muse fan, who's grown up loving them.

is that they don't just stick to one style.
For years they were badged as Radiohead wannabees, and possibly quite rightly so going by their early work.

Their last two and a half albums have been class.

and an easy 10/10, surpised at the 8 considering the history of Muse love on DiS!

shame about the album mind.

Over and out.

but an odd choice for a single.

have muse got 3 songs in my top twenty singles of 2006 chart?

by Sunday.

But has there been a more ridiculously over-the-top, over-egged and utterly insanely catchy pomp-rock single released this year, and one that’s certain to be a hit at that?

MCR?

Not a bad song on the whole, but for me it sounds like they really tried for a big epic closer to the album and it only partially hit the mark in my opinion. The first half of Black Holes... is about 1000 times better than the second half anyway.

by saying average average average, but then i read alcxxk's post. wtf?! it makes you realise how great the muse song is when you line up the black parade next to it.

i've nothing against emo, but that MCR single is the weakest, dullest, most unimaginative sound i've heard in years. it's amazing how gerard way talks about it in such ambitious terms when its sound is so underwhelming.

and then you hear knights of cydonia and you wish every song started out with muse's massive sound. i don't love it, but i do like it a lot and if you want grandeur then fu*k MCR because they simply cannot compete...

are wank. Simple as that.

...Unforgivably atrocious abortion of a song...sounds like The Darkness reworking 'War Of The Worlds'. I can't help but think that all of Muse's supposed WACKYNESS is a cover up for the fact that they are three of the dullest human beings ever to walk the face of this planet and have absolutely nothing to say on ANYTHING that holds any kind of emotional resonance...i.e - Their songs are O.T.T 'bonkers' work-outs about absolutely NOTHING. Their sci-fi bullshit mystique is so transparant!

no.

like.

...They are lovely people, what I am trying to say is that their music doesn't connect with me on a human level. All this talk of 'The end of the world' and 'Fighting to survive' has gone on for about three albums now...Their lyrics are consistently faux-criptic obsevations on some imaginary apocolapse. This frees them of the weight of writing about anything that might be a tad emotionally taxing, allowing the band to get on with the important business to riffing it all the way up to 11. God, I've made it sound much more exiting than it is in practice...

This is one of the first proper rock songs in ages.

And I don't like Muse much either.

Epic.
I still feel there's something missing though. A good chorus?

to your east 17 cd saddo

... Except, in my book, it's a big, fat 10/10. Brilliantly ridiculous.
