Editorial Review: Album Description: After 2004's U.S. breakthrough success for U.K. favorite Muse, the band's second album, 2001's Origin of Symmetry, finally earns its stateside release. Last yeasr's Absolution and major performances across the country won legions of American fans for the band that was the prestigious closing act at London's V2004 Festival. Now these new fans can experience an earlier Muse with Origin of Symmetry. Amazon.com: Pomposity, bombast, pretension and prog-rock: they're four crimes that blight the landscape of modern music and Origin Of Symmetry--the second record by Teignmouth, U.K. angst-rockers Muse--is guilty of every single one. But the truly astonishing thing about this record is the way it twists every one of these cardinal musical sins into spectacularly silly and starkly individual strengths. Where their debut album Showbiz was rightly dismissed as little more than Radiohead-lite, here Muse sound defiantly like their own band: on "New Born", they're torn somewhere between the purity of front man Matt Bellamy's angelic vocal tones and the corruption of a huge, dirty, distorted bass riff that electrifies the sound into crackling life; on the fraught, operatic "Bliss", they sound like an unholy--but very welcome--cross between synth-heavy Krautrock legends Tangerine Dream and youthful choirboy angst-peddlers JJ72; and even a wonderfully dippy take on the Nina Simone-popularised jazz standard "Feeling Good" is carried off with the requisite deadpan countenance. Bellamy's impassioned voice, in particular, is on spectacular form, soaring skywards until it cracks into a beautiful falsetto reminiscent of Jeff Buckley's greatest vocal moments. So gloriously overblown, it deserves to be huge--Origin Of Symmetry is a fascinating, flamboyant and satisfyingly individual album. --Louis Pattison Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - My first purchase in AmazonThis is the Best MUSE's album to me. I started to like MUSE when I first listened to "Space Dementia". I recomend this album to everybody who likes good music. Rating: - Original!!Totalmente orginal. Entre melancólico y rabioso. Te saca de la orbita por un momento y luego te deja pensando en las posturas de los músicos almomento de tocar la canción... Rating: - Just AMAZING!This is just one GREAT cd! Has space/hard/alternative rock and a lot more! And of course, we couldn't expect less from Muse. Cheers! Rating:  - Once again Muse wins me over!Outstanding art rock in the spirit of Queen sprinkled with U2. This is their strangest CD that I've heard but it doesn't mean that it is not accessible. These rockers are keeping the prog flame alive. Rating: - Excellent album, my favorite from MuseIt's less polished, but there are hints of brilliance throughout. It doesn't have that slightly generic feel that entered the later albums. Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. |
