We think alike :ernae:

I like the chorus, but not the individual vocals. Like redriver6 says, it sounds like U2 to me, and I hate U2 *ducks as tomatoes are hurled his way*

That said, I would actually listen to these guys as opposed to ripping my radio out of my dash every time U2 comes on *ducks again, but gets hit with a tomato anyway* :kilroy:

That's about how I feel. U2 was barely a pass with me, but once their songs became were on the soundtrack to every 'B' movie and crappy sitcom in the 90's and they started getting political, that was it. U2 makes me want to go crazy. There can only be so many slow songs dripped in reverb with echo guitars. How have they made a career out of it?
 
Not familar with Muse but I did like the song enough. The music is good but the singer might be a bit of an acquired taste for repeated listenings.
 
Okay, I found a song of theirs I can handle. Most of ther songs are either whiny or way to geared to sell.

Newer? Those are twenty year old bands. :ernae:
 
Muse is my third most listened to band (according to last.fm). I don't really like the road they've taken after "Absolution", but it's still okay to listen to. If you get over the fact that "The Resistance" sounds like a Queen revival (a band that I mostly dislike), it's actually pretty solid stuff. Their older stuff is way better in any case.


"Hysteria" is one of the best songs ever. The bass line and especially solo is just sick!

"Time Is Running Out" is awesome as well because it's diversity in intensity.

Their live album "HAARP" is the music form of awesome. (Here: New Born)

And come on, they even have a song about whiskey in their portfolio. And who could hate a band singing about alcohol? :icon_lol:

(Sorry if Stiz already linked to those, but his links ended in Copyrightnazistan for me.)
 
Hmmmm, I may be off my rocker, but I wonder if this band influenced them at all:



Not sure - it ends up linking to the vid on Youtube instead of playing it here..
