Just listen to The Bends, the entire album. If a song seems mellow at first, skip to a heavier track. Then do the same with OK Computer. That should work.

Forgive me for mentioning Radiohead, but….
Personally, I find Radiohead a bit depressing, and at times boring. Maybe it’s an acquired taste, or maybe it’s supposed to grow on you… But even though I’ve listened to Karma Police, High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, Creep, 2+2=5, Knives Out, Paranoid Android, and Videotape, (yeah not much I know, don’t kill me) the only one I like is Paranoid Android. And only at the middle part.

And I also find Thom’s voice a bit weak and trembly, which irritates me, and make the songs less enjoyable. Yeah Matt’s voice was very similar to Thom’s…but those were the early days for Matt, and now it’s less whiny and manlier. Of course, their voices fit the genres they go for, since Radiohead is all haunting and emotional, while Muse goes for arena rock and all that.

But…whatever. All I want to know is, are there any Radiohead songs you can recommend for me, or, let me guess, I don’t have enough musical knowledge or appreciation to like anything as genius and legendary as Radiohead? :/

Muse suck Radiohead rule… nah nah nha. Sheesh you’d think people out their can only like one and not both.

Ironically one minute Muse are supposed to sound like Radiohead the next they sound like Queen, two more disparate groups I cannot think of.

Me, I veer towards the Queen end, Muse’s music is epic widescreen to Radiohead’s art-house naval gazing, room for both to be sure. Bellamy’s vocals invoke more of Freddie Mercury to me than Thom Yorke.

“Exogenesis Symphony” is simply gorgeous, its so anti- fashion, anti-convention, every minute is just gloriously enjoyable.

Muse are Muse, they are at a stage now where you really cannot mistake for any other band, especially Radiohead.

Get over it.

Hi, I’ve only recently found the site, and I think it’s great. Thoughtful, interesting writing all around, and FUCK YEAH for the swearing. I’m a huge fan of Muse and while I disagree with this review on some points, I do think it’s a fair assessment of the record. Yes, this album is way over the fucking top. I still massively enjoy it for the most, but I can see where/why other people wouldn’t as much. I guess self-producing had a lot to do with it; no-one to tell them when to just bloody stop. On the other hand, they’ve made a record that sounds just like they want it to sound, and I respect them for all the work they put into it.
What I dislike is how, with each new Muse album released, the people who are initially “disappointed” by it (or whatever) start to glorify the past. Everyone seemed to go ballistic about Supermassive Black Hole and Starlight when they came out, denouncing Black Holes and Revelations as a horrid album unworthy of Muse’s previous output. Now it’s all like, “Oh, up until now everything they did was great, but this one just BLOWS.” Yeah, right.
That said, all the obsessive fans who are hurling abuse just because someone doesn’t find the album perfect could cool it a bit, too.

Muse is a great band that consistantly
turns out great albums. Their latest is
like a CV to showcase their great tallent.
To compare them with Radiohead is pointless
because their albums range from genius to
rubbish.

…I forgot to add something, and since we are all in the spirit of blatantly giving our opinions about something we dont know here you go: You have to know whats going on here and now to understand most of the lyrics on the album, unfortunatley that requieres a different type of knowledge that most would rather not have, go back to sleep, its safer there.
