Rating: - Happy I Found This One
This is a somewhat difficult review to write at this moment. I am trying to remember the emotions and feelings that I felt when I first heard this CD, and really had no clue who Muse was. I first heard of Muse through the KROQ (an LA radio station) new music CD that featured Muscle Museum. The rest of that CD wasn't incredible, but from the opening notes of Muscle Museum, I knew I was on to something. I immediately bought the import CD from Amazon and was just blown away with what I heard.
The CD begins with a little piano intro to Sunburn, a song that really shows the musical talent of these young men. The seemless transition between piano and distored guitars is really something to behold. Muscle Museum follows, followed by Fillip, not one of my favorite songs, but again, a beautiful interweaving piano line. Falling Down, Cave and Showbiz are very nice songs (Cave especially), but the next song, Unintended is really the hit song of this album. The first time I heard this song, it brought tears to my eyes, there is so much emotion and complexity to this song, I actually called my brother while listening to this song the first time and told him to by this CD. The lyrics are just stunning, the orchestration and development of the song is just, breathtaking for lack of a better word.
Uno follows Unintended, and while this song definitely is a little bit harsher ("this means nothing to me, cause you mean nothing to me") it still is an excellent song. The CD winds up with some hits (Escape) and some misses (Overdue), but even this misses aren't that far off.
As I sit here and review this CD some five years after I first heard of Muse, I'm amazed at how far they've come musically with their albums that followed Showbiz, but also how mature these gentleman were for being 17 or so when this was recorded. Everyone who likes Radiohead or similar bands should give these guys a shot, truly a masterpiece.

this is like the best cd ever made and i listen to it all the time. First I dont know hoe people can compare them to Radiohead because they are totally different-Radiohead is whiny and Muse rox. By the way Joseph Josephes (the guy who wrote the Amazon review) u make me mad- I mena what do you mean by Muse not having the "crackling aura " of Radiohead and Nirvana I mean come on. Muse is way better and they just arent nearly as popular because not many people in the US even know of them. If they did some more tours in the US and their cds were easier to find thye could be just as if not more succesful than radiohead. so there. :p
Rating: - Modern Day Classic
It's a modern day classic. I felt abit sad when i read the Amazon review of Showbiz, where is credit where credit is due? They've drawn their influences from Radiohead and Nirvana sure, but like any decent band they've diversified and come up with a completely differant sound, and what i love more, is a completely incomparable feel. Id have to say that after hearing all three albums to date, that i do like Showbiz the best, it's so original!! Its a deffinate must have, even if its not always on high rotation.

- Sounds like Radiohead?
With my favorite band being Radiohead and hearing all of the comparisons to an earlier Radiohead and Thom Yorke, I had to check these guys out. Well, I am glad I did but if I had no preconceived notions concerning the comparisons to Radiohead and had no idea who this band was, I would assume this to be the third album by Ours rather than thinking for a moment that this was a "Radioheadish" band or a new band with a guest appearane from Thom Yorke. That said, I really like their sound and as a fan of Ours, this album will certainly get a lot of play around the house and has reminded me that I need to pop in my Ours CDs a bit more often.
