Editorial Review: Album Details: Japanese Version featuring a Bonus Track. Amazon.com: Often compared to Radiohead, the youngsters in Muse make no bones about their love of Thom Yorke and company. Like Radiohead and their other favorite band, Nirvana, the tracks on Muse's debut go straight for the quiet verses and windstorm choruses associated with those acts. Unfortunately, Muse don't have that crackling aura their idols possess, and that's something that no amount of production can fix. Still, it's hard to write them off completely after hearing the single "Muscle Museum," which hints at brighter days on the horizon. Radiohead's Pablo Honey wasn't that great an album either, and look at them post-OK Computer. If they're going to crash American radio, they'll have to wait until the next release. --Jason Josephes Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Excellent one!I don't have much to say of this CD. It rocks, but it's not their best one. They have great songs in there, like "Muscle Museum" and "Sunburn". But there's one thing: no matter what people say, I just can't see anything in Muse that sounds like Radiohead. I do think that they have totally different styles. Anyway... It's an awesome first album for an awesome band. Rating: - Not Even Their Best and Still StunningMuse has done a lot of improving since their Showbiz days yet this CD still remains one of my favorite in my music library. Why? Simple: Because Muse has always been awesome. Sunburn starts out the album was a dramatic and captivating mixture of piano arpeggios and guitar. I get chills every time I hear Matt sing "And I feel...a guilty conscience grow." Well, while were on the subject of Matt Bellamy, let me say this. This guy deserves so much credit. He plays the guitar/piano on all the tracks, sings, and wrote the music? And he was only 19/20ish at the time? Ridiculous. He refuses to back down from any melody or line, forgetting things such as "vocal limitations", and belts it out as is. From his falsetto chorus in ...

The only problem is the arrangement of the album. 1. Sunburn 10/10. Great piano ostinato (AKA riff) and evil vocals from Matt. The chorus is also very evil and never tires throughout the song. 2. Muscle Museum 10/10. Very intersting guitars (they sound Italian but I could be wrong) intersting vocals 'I have played in every toilet, but you just want to spoil it' and the mix of vocals and guitar at the end is pure genius. Sounds very epic. 3. Filip 7/10. I assume that this is Maverick's doing because it starts off very poppy. The chorus is okay and there is a point where it goes slow ...

"Showbiz," their first album, doesn't quite show how amazing they are, but it's still a great album. First off, I would have given this 4 1/2 stars if I could. The album starts off with two really good songs, "sunburn and "muscle museum." What I love about Muse is that every album has a different feel to it. In this album the songs aren't quite polished as much as they are in their other albums. However, the songs have a cool, epic and raw feel to them. The best songs in the album are "sunburn", "muscle museum", "falling down", "showbiz", "unintended", and "uno". Rating: - No biz like ShowbizBritpop is always swarming over the pond, in different incarnations -- retro rock, mellifluous pop, whatever. But Muse has something special -- this magnificent young band is perhaps the most powerful Britpop band to emerge in years. If you want comparisons, they're equal parts Radiohead and Led Zeppelin, with a unique sound that is both melodic and raw. Few debuts are as intense as Muse's "Showbiz." A steady piano melody ripples by, followed by some steady drumming. That, in turn, segues into the expansive bombastic rock'n'roll of "Sunburn." Matt Bellamy sits in the middle of the song, singing in a trembly voice, "I'll feel/A guilty conscience grow/And I'll feel/A guilty conscience grow." Then he bursts into an anguished ... Read More: |
