Throwing Muses

by: Throwing Muses

Release Date November 21, 1996
Throwing Muses began a group of New England youngsters who became the first American band on the influential British label 4AD. As a result of this inter-continental signing their self-titled first album was ironically never available domestically in the United States, one could get it only as an import from savvy record shops. However, the record was later re-issued in the collection IN A DOGHOUSE on Rykodisc, see my November 2002 review of that release.

THROWING MUSES was one of the most influential indie albums of the 1980's, with its raw sound that preshadowed the Pixies and grunge rock. The superb musical talent of this quartet is what makes this album stand out. David Narcizo, recognized as a drumming legend hardly out of high ... Read More:

Freeloader

by: Throwing Muses

Release Date January 21, 1997
If you liked "Limbo" and were sad to see the Muses go you should definitely go for this. The first b-side "If" is a rad cover song, I think of the Latin Playboys, definately Musesafied and erie. Complete with weird percussion and backwards-running guitars. The next track, a live version of "Take," is the high point of the disc for me. It sounds alot ALOT different from the original version on Hunkpapa, it's faster, more rock-out and bluesy (sounds exactly like the live version of the song on "the Curse"). Plus the song has some of my favorite Muses lyrics ever. The last song, "heel toe," takes things out sweetly and ominously, sort of in the same fashion that the song "Hips and Makers" ... Read More:

Showbiz

by: Muse

Release Date January 13, 2008
Britpop 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 howl: "And ...
