- great live disc & mediocre studio discThe "Hullabaloo Soundtrack" is a mixed bag. Aside "Absolution," "Black Holes and Revelations" and "Origin of Symmetry," the studio Hullabaloo disc offers little comparison. This disc is what it is . . . a collection of leftovers that weren't good enough to be released on a regular LP. I suppose that we should be grateful that the material has been released since there are some highlights. The instrumentals stand out as both compelling and especially unusual in the Muse pantheon. If you're a Muse fanatic like me, you'll find these tunes interesting, but the material will never resonate like the songs on their more contemporary releases. The selling point for "Hullabaloo Soundtrack" is the live disc. It's a great snap shot at what can now be regarded as an earlier time period for Muse. The recording and performance quality is fantastic. I'd describe it as having a harder edge than other Muse shows that I've experienced. 'Citizen Erased' and 'Space Dementia' are highlights. While interesting, the show falls short of Haarp, the ultimate live Muse release. While the first CD is only for the faithful, the second disc can be appreciated by the casual listener with an interest in the band's live show. After acquiring all of the band's 'A' list albums, "Hullabaloo Soundtrack" will nicely fill out any Muse collection.

Rating: - My favorite Muse albumI'm a sucker for live performances, and Muse puts out one of the best. Their concerts are something else, you MUST go see one if you're a fan. Hullabaloo is like a little taste of that in your own home. Rating: - Great band, great music, worst camera footage ever.First, let me warn you that your DVD will probably only play on your computer. Second, the music and band are incredible. Third, the absolute worst live production that I've ever seen. This is strictly going to be a background video for me. The music is great but the cuts are every nano second. You may think I'm exaggerating, but if it's not a nano second per shot, then it's pretty close. You will have a seizure within the first minute while the shots are cut to the drum beat. The bad part about this.....these guys are awesome to watch. It's a three-piece genious....and you can't focus on anything for more than a split second. One of the best things about Muse live is their presence. This production is so bad it makes them look awful. If this production company knew anything about cutting footage, they'd have left the camera focused on one person for at least a few seconds. Don't get me wrong, I'm the last person to complain as you can verify yourself if you so desire. But, this instance was too painful for me. The clarity of the footage is brilliant.....but cuts wrecked it. Makes the quick shots on an MTV video look long. Buy this thing strictly for the sound. The DVD will otherwise produce the worst seizure/headache ever! Cheers! I'm going to look for something a little complimentary in the live footage area. Rating: - Stunning Live album, as good as it gets ...Into the new millennium and Muse together with Gomez, Mercury Rev, Elbow, Coldplay and The Flaming Lips (from "Soft Bulletin" (1999) onwards) were the bands that really excited me the most. (Previous to these recent years Kings X and Dream Theater "did it for me" in the 90's, Marillion were "my 80's" band together with Simple Minds, Big Country, Waterboys and U2. My 70's favorites were largely Genesis, Rush and Jethro Tull. This live album from 2001 is, for me, an absolutely stunning performance from a band who are prepared to push the boundaries of Rock. The first album I bought from Muse was 2001's "Origin of Symmetry" after reading a review and listening to a couple of tracks. I was hooked. Muse do wear their influences on their sleeve (a large heping of Queen, a fair bit of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin) as they produce a sound that is uniquely their own. Lead singer Mike Bellamy has a great voice with tremendous range and the combination of this superb drumming, bass, guitar and keyboard work in a live setting is simply awesome. So many highlights, the one for me that sums up Muse best, especially in the live context, is "Citizen Erased" - FANTASTIC! This is one of six tracks from "Origin of Symmetry". Two tracks from 1998's effort "Showbiz" plus three new tracks make up the set. (Also check out the DVD - well worth it, fantasic sound, a real rocking show which features 8 more tracks than the CD (four more from "Showbiz" and " Origin"). The bonus "B Sides" disc is a great addition with some excellent tracks (6 of the 10 tracks I really enjoyed which is great for an extra disc of B sides). All 'n' all - There are a handful of "new" bands who I enjoy listening to and Muse is way up there and this Live album is stunning. Certainly one of the great live albums of the new millennium from one of the great bands of these modern times, a tremendous experience in today's age - real musicians playing real instruments and playing with energy and passion in front of a very appreciative audience at the "Zenith" in Paris. Certainly one of my favourite live albums over the last 35 years, here are some of my other favourites)... - "How the West was won" from Led Zeppelin (1972) - "Made in Japan" from Deep Purple (1972) - "Yessongs" from Yes (1973) - "Welcome back my friends" from ELP (1973) - "Too late to stop now" from Van Morrison (1974) - "On your feet or on your knees" from Blue Oyster Cult (1975) - "Live in London" from Bruce Springsteen (1975) - "One more from the Road" from Lynyrd Skynrd (1976) - "Frampton comes alive" from Peter Frampton (1976) - "Live Bullet" from Bob Seger (1976) - "Seconds Out" from Genesis (1977) - "A Live Record" from Camel (1978) - "Bursting Out Live" from Jethro Tull (1978) - "Two for the Show" from Kansas (1978) - "Playing the fool" Gentle Giant (1978) - "Waiting fro Columbus" from Little Feat (1978) - "Strangers in the Night" from UFO (1979) - "Live Rust" from Neil Young (1979). - "Paris" from Supertramp (1980). - "Exit...Stage left" from Rush (1981) - "Under a blood red sky" from U2 (1983) - "Stop making sense" from Talking Heads (1984) - "Live in the city of Light" from Simple Minds (1986) - "Live adventures of the Waterboys" from the Waterboys (1986) - "Operation Livecrime" from Queensryche (1991) - "Without a safety Net" from Big Country (1992) - "Secret World Live" from Peter Gabriel (1994) - "Together in Concert" from Tim Finn, Dave Dobbyn, Bic Runga (2000) - "Live Scenes from New York" from Dream Theater (2000) - "Hullabaloo" from Muse (2002) - "Out West" from Gomez (2005) - "Instant Delivery" from Flower Kings (2006). - "Okonokos" from My Morning Jacket (2006) I really enjoy this album, if you do get it I hope you do to. |
