Muse — The Resistance

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 24, 2009 4:30 pm
At first Muse's fifth album, The Resistance, sounds like a jumble of scattered ideas, but it's actually a complete encapsulation of everything they've been doing since they released their Showbiz debut in 2001. The guitar riffs on "Unnatural Selection" bear resemblance to Origin Of Symmetry's "New Born" and its organ parts recall that record's "...

Muse — H.A.A.R.P.

Muse begin their live CD/DVD while "Dance Of The Knights" from Prokofiev's "Romeo And Juliet" plays in the background. That isn't anything new, since The Smiths used to begin live performances with the same piece. But watch the DVD and you'll discover the entrance is done through a trap door, while rose petals fall from the...

Muse Whip Fans Into Frenzy

About three years ago or so, a friend of mine went to see Muse play at the Edge 102.1's studio. According to him, there were "maybe five people" at the show who actually knew who the British trio were. On Sunday night at the Docks, multiply that five by something like a thousand, and you'll get an idea of just how big Muse have blown up...

Muse — Black Holes And Revelations

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) July 11, 2006 3:30 pm
In their early days, Muse were often accused of imitating Radiohead. By now, I don't think anybody could accuse Muse of sounding like any other band out there. Is their newest offering grandiose? Yes. Over the top? Quite possibly. Pretentious? No — because Muse know exactly what they're doing and exactly how to pull it off. "Take A Bow"...

Muse — Absolution

in
By Andy Lee (CHARTattack) April 6, 2004 10:22 am
What is it about life in the U.K. that produces such depressing music? Whether due to drizzle, dubious dental hygiene or a lack of new Monty Python material, English trio Muse enjoy wallowing in misery and exorcising demons via the power of Rock Guitar. Absolution, their third full-length, begins on a fittingly chipper note with lead singer...

Survey Says: Muse's "Hysteria" has the best bassline of all time

in
By Natalia Buia (CHARTattack) October 31, 2011 4:37 pm
A poll conducted on Music Radar has found the best bassline of all time. And the wiener is: That's "Hysteria" by Muse, which claimed the number one spot, followed by Rush’s "YYZ" in second and Queen’s "Another One Bites the Dust" in third. It's a pretty rock-n-roll heavy list, as you can imagine. The bassist of the alternative-classical-...

Glenn Beck Vs. Muse

We tend to take whatever Glenn Beck says with a massive boulder of salt. For example, he once said he learned taxes were bad from reading library books... and failed to realize said evil tax dollars had paid for the books he was reading. But let's continue to the point. Beck was previously a fan of U.K. neo-proggers Muse, who won a best rock album...
