Editorial Review: Amazon.com: One can't listen to Muse without hearing Bends-era Radiohead, so it's necessary to start there. But for all the familiar grandeur and gloom, Muse's other catharsis-rock influences, like Queen, Slade, and even Black Sabbath, provide the band with a dazzling, heart-on-their-sleeves theatricality. Always threatening to layer on another falsetto from singer Matt Bellamy, or conjure more guitar crunch from the ether, Absolution is downright Baroque in parts, like a Rufus Wainwright-penned rock opera fantasy. Yes, the record is completely unoriginal. But when these guys let it rip, there's no doubt they have the fever. "Stockholm Syndrome," for one, could only be produced by True Believers with a lust for power chord drama, full of angst, envy, and the bitter end of it all. If you wish a certain Thom Yorke-led outfit from Oxford had made another record or two before evolving into minor-key art rockers, Muse carry the torch for another few miles, gloriously and tragically unaware that they're running in circles. --Matthew Cooke Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Absolution is amazing! This was the first Muse album I heard, and was blown away. I could not stop listening to Blackout. It is the most amazing song I have heard in a long time. It is subtle song with Russion sound to it. The band is very inovative. They know how to make each song different and insteresting. That whole album made a Muse fan forever. It made me go out and buy Black Holes. It too is amazing and brillant. Apocalpse Please, the first song is intense and never lets go. And the album ends with Ruled By Secrecy, which is a very soft and pretty. Matt Belamy's voice is soft and caresses each lyric. This albums stands as one of my all time favs. Rating:  - Their Muse must have been Queen and Art RockersGreat CD from this British band. Yes, the band is poppy but they infuse enough rock, prog and Queen to keep them interesting. Keep an eye on this band. I think they're only going to get better. A real great listen with the spirit of Freddy Mercury. Rating: - PerfectionEach track on "Absolution" is powerful and beautiful and flows together to create a unique and emotional punch in the gut album. The songs pulse, build, swell, and explode...leaving you satisfied and pressing replay. The lyrics run the gamut of emotion and are delivered with a raw and honest voice by Matthew Bellamy. Christopher Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard add their own individual style and point of view, and it blends together perfectly. This is not your run-of-the-mill indie rock album. It feels larger, more ambitious, and free of any pretension. A true rock gem. Rating: - Ambition and AbsolutionI guess maybe the constant Radiohead references must be coming from people who haven't been listening to music for more than a decade. Muse may have a touch of The Bends, but they have also undergone a little Brain Salad Surgery and perhaps suffered a Sheer Heart Attack or two. One thing is VERY obvious, however. Matt Bellamy and his band mates like big, theatrical, ambitious music. "Absolution" pulses and pounds, kicks and punches, demanding that Muse fill every nook and cranny of every available stadium in the world. There hasn't been a band this blatantly craving stardom since Billy Corgan brought on the Smashing Pumpkins. That is certainly not a bad thing. There are few bands around right now that seem to want to make heroic ... Read More: Rating: - Stop comparing Muse and RadioheadAbsolution is one of my very favorite albums. Most of the songs I can listen to over and over without getting tired of them. I love the complex baseline, the seamless mix of rock and classical, and every song keeps me on the edge of my seat asking for more. How many times in a day do I listen to a Muse song? Many. How many times in a month do I listen to a Radiohead song? Maybe 5. How many times do I skip a Radiohead song when it comes up in shuffle? Most. It bores me. How many times would I do that to a Muse song? Very few. For those of you who say that Muse is a blatant rip-off of Radiohead, I don't really see it. The voice is very similar. The music is very different. I love Muse. I only kind of like Radiohead. ... Read More: |
