New Muse

[Swansea93]

Not a huge fan but this new song has some good heavy riffs in there!

Interesting. Muse have always been a band I thought I should like more than I do. They are very good musicians but every time I listen to them, I think they're weak vocally and after a few minutes, I find the vocals a bit tiresome. Some decent heavy riffs here, yes, but as usual, I still didn't quite make it through to the end!

Only really heard the singles , they sound like a poor mans radiohead , but I could be wrong , not listened to their albums

I don’t think they’re particularly great musicians in the technical sense, and I’m not suggesting they’re bad, but their strength is in their songwriting and individuality - a bit like the Edge, not technically great but instantly recognisable. They’re not a true muso prog band like Marillion or Porcupine Tree, more like the crash, bang, wallop of Radiohead with more nuance and better playing.

I like Muse and always have. Their Rome concert on You Tube is epic.

I think that's a fair assessment but without a better singer, still a 5 out of 10 for me

One of those bands who produced 1 good album and struggle to reach those heights again.
Really like their Black Holes & Revelations album. Tried a couple of others but apart from a song or two they were very forgettable

Interesting views above. When I lock myself in the kitchen with a beer and apron "Alexa - play the best of Muse" is a sentence that's often uttered. I couldn't name even one of their songs yet I find their "best of" uplifting and great to cook to. They'd be made up, I'm sure.

Bellamy is a very good guitarist but the voice does take some getting used to.
