Muse is my 2nd favorite band of all time actually...and Black Holes... is my favorite album by them. I think their music sounds like a whole large group making it rather than just 3 people. They're without question awesomely bombastic

Muse is one of my favourite bands ever, and most favourite modernage band. BH&R is a good album, but I think, tha it`s one of their worse albums. The best album is Origin Of Symetry. Best song of BH&R is probably Knights of Cydonia.

I heard the title track and didn't like it at all. The piano part there sounded terribly cheesy.

I just hope their album is on the store shelves so I can buy it. Absolution and Origin of simetry were very good albums.

Hm...hm. More synths, better drumming, details, sound good. I never
really warmed up to them totally, but always sympathised. I know they
can be great fun. Some of my friends will buy it, so I'll hear it there
first.

Thanks - I'll heed that and give it a few more shots.
I'd almost written it off.

The drums have definitely got more of a presence on this album, and so have synthy sounds. Unfortunately, that leaves less space for the guitar and bass!

In places, yes - but in others they've done a re-invention of sorts.
I think it's a really good album - and there is some proggy stuff on there - just not quite enough for me to recommend it outright to a Prog head.

I'm not usually not into the heavier stuff, but I like these guys. They are also not just heavy, they seem to understand nuance. Something that I don't see too much in metal. So, how is the new album?

One word: BOMBASTIC.
Every dictionary ever written needs to be updated so that MUSE is the new definition.

Think virtuoso keys, heavy-metal guitars and riffs, falsetto vocals, perfect (almost Queen-like) harmonies; bombastic, pomp, melodic - kick-ass music. I could laugh and cry at the same time!
