I've heard that they have plans to come to Australia around mid next year.

OMFG!!! I got into MUSE just after their last Australian tour so I'm definately going to the next concert! Thanks for the info!

it will be hard to top absolution, that was a pretty damn good album

 

[bazookajoe]

If it's anything like Absolution, it'll be brilliant

I dont think that absolution was as good as Showbiz or Origin of Symetry. I reckon it'll be even harder to beat those albums.

Is it just me or do they sound like a heavy version of Radiohead?

haha, i had that thought before aswell. I love muse, radiohead can be abit "slow"/dreamy sometimes.

 

[breaking]

radiohead can be a bit "shit"/boring a lot of the time

haha i was going to say that...but me bf is obsessed with radiohead so i automatically refrained. I do like some of their stuff. Muse is better though.

Yeh i like Muse is better but i also like radiohead.

Just read that supermassive blck hole is set for release on may 9, but thats not a Muse.mu statement so im inclined to believe the first single date.

This is a possible track listing for the album
Hex
A Soldiers Poem
Supermassive Black Hole
Starlight
Invincible
Kings of Cydonia

From the looks of those, it dont sound like Muse have changed at all.

I like Muse, but I like Radiohead better because I'm depressive or whatever.

Anyroad, it shall be interesting to see what the new album is like.

 

[absolution*]

it will be hard to top absolution

yes, yes it is.

If it's anything like Absolution, it'll be brilliant

yes, yes i am.

two points.

origin of symmetry > showbiz > absolution

muse > radiohead, but in hindsight they are both fairly unextraordinary.

Radiohead isnt overly depressive. They're very serious about they're music and emotionally but they're not really emo or depressive.

and we thank God everyday for that.

Apparantly Matts inspiration for this new album Is slightly influenced by The Strokes, Franz ferdinand, the Tornadoes and 70's rock. This seems a bit out of the muse way. Also that the album may well be based heavily on trumpets.

how nice

Well I find Radiohead to be quite depressing. Meh. Maybe I'm just weird.

That sounds really interesting re: the influences! This is quite exciting.
I love trumpets.

I never really got into Radiohead. I like 2 + 2 = 5 and Paranoid Android but that's about it. Tried one or two other songs but it wasn't interesting enough to make me look to buy their albums.

origin of symmetry is increddddiiibbbblllleeeeeeeeeee.

i guess they do have similarities with radiohead but when i listen to their music i see ridiculous differences that i wonder why they get comnpared soooo damn much.

transcendent; if you're new to radiohead, don't start with their later albums. it is very difficult to get into them if you try with their later stuff first.
pablo honey (first album) was your standard rock.
the bends is what i believe characterises radiohead, try some songs from there (high and dry, my iron lung, planet telex, it's none of that weird shit, trust me)
ok compuer - try the songs like no surprises, climbing up the walls, electioneering; those songs are easier to like on the album
only after you listen to their earlier stuff can you build an appreciation for them.
never start with stuff like hail to the thief, kid a, or amnesiac.

i love love love muse. Origin of symmetry is, without a doubt, their best - it's more "their sound". Absolution etc. got a bit radioheadey - but that's okay. I love radiohead. Super psyched for this new album.

thanks for the advice, been looking from new music to get into.

I really loved Absolution, I got into Muse when I saw that awesome Hysteria videoclip on Rage and I've worked my way back to Origin Of Symmetry than Showbiz than Hullabaloo. I'd say Absolution > Origin Of Symmetry > Showbiz basing this on the number of song I enjoyed from each album and the ease of listening to each daily. Still it's a hard choice to choose because individual favourite songs: Sing For Absolution, Citizen Erased and Showbiz.

Now you know what your talking about. I loved 'there there' but nowhere near as much as i loved the whole of 'ok computer' and 'the bends'!

Amnesiac was a good one too for great music, but i always loved Karma police. I have no idea why, oh and paranoid android, fake plastic trees, my iron lung, its all good.
