  1. My default ranking would be

     

    OoS

    Abso

    ST

    BHAR

    Drones

    Showbiz

    TR

    T2L,

     

    but I'm gonna refrain from casting my vote until I listen to all these albums again. OoS would most probably still be #1 though, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate every album they've made.

  2. Hahaha this is exactly my opinion. First 5 then skip to Blockades and the Void

     

    I'm not a big fan of Blockades, it kind of oozes The Small Print feels for me (which is one of my least faves off Abso), but sure The Void would be #6 in my rank.

  3. Wow people really don't like ST with a passion ay.

     

    I wasn't that big on the album at first either but it's grown on me tremendously. Maybe ranking it above Abso was a bit unjust but as of right now I think I prefer ST's highs (BITM - how fkn lit is this song, Propaganda, TDS, Algorithm, Pressure), to BH&R's (TAB, COD, KOC, Starlight).

     

    Even ST's lows which were singles (DD, Thought Contagion, Something Human) sounded so much better and cohesive when played with the rest of the album. It's only GUAF that hasn't really aged well with me.

     

    As for the ratings I gave, it's /10 among Muse's music and not music in general, i.e. Muse's top albums would naturally be 10/10. With hindsight, a perfect score for ST is probably a little overblown. If I were to revisit the ratings in another month, it would probably swap with Abso (9.5), but at the moment I'm still in a daze for ST, so I'm gonna enjoy it and replay the songs in the album until I can't stand it. Only then would I probably be able to judge it for what it really is

  4. Still not able to rank the super deluxe of ST but here's my updated ranking of the 11 songs.

     

    Simulation Theory (2018)

    1. Break It to Me (10/10)
    2. Propaganda (10/10)
    3. Algorithm (10/10)
    4. The Dark Side (9/10)
    5. Pressure (9/10)
    6. The Void (9/10)
    7. Blockades (8/10)
    8. Get Up and Fight (8/10)
    9. Something Human (8/10)
    10. Thought Contagion (7/10)
    11. Dig Down (7/10)

  5. It's still very hard to rank ST cause they're all so good. It'd be next to impossible to rank the full super deluxe album, so I'll stick with the core 11 songs for now.

  6. Surely this list is controversial? For example, why is "The Small Print" on it and "Ruled by Secrecy" not?

     

    Like I said I based the options on the lowest rated in the other thread. TSP garnered a lower rank than RBS.

     

    And to those who said they don't feel "guilty" for liking a song that others don't like, let me direct you to the first line in my post:

     

    Also known as "a song you find enjoyable that most people don't".

     

    Perhaps calling it a "guilty pleasure" was not the best decision, so I apologize for that.

  7. Also known as "a song you find enjoyable that most people don't". Feel free to choose as many as you'd like, and add your own options by commenting.

     

    The options I prepared in the poll are songs that are considered weak (according to the Rate the Tracklists thread).

  8. Shine (Acoustic).

     

    Relearnt it on guitar and grown me fingernails out a bit so it's quite fun.

     

    Plus it's just a lussssssshhhhhh song innit. Forgot how lovely it was. That build-up and 'big' release for "Pleeeease don't break...", unf.

     

    Tbph I prefer the original version of the song (not acoustic) heaps. It's thrown carelessly into the EP of Feeling Good/Hyper Music – though to some degree I think it's very cool they stash the "better" version (IMHO) in a less mainstream release.

  10. Wow this is pretty disappointing. Despite having some "poppy" tracks, Drones was miles better than T2L, and I hoped they were gonna come back to prog-rock or at least a legit solid "pop" song with this (IMO Madness was borderline decent but probably one of the better songs in T2L, and I absolutely loved Dead Inside and Revolt), but DD screams uninspired. And the worst part is, I've heard this song a couple times now, but it's still so deathly flavorless. At least Madness grew on me after a couple plays.

  11. I'm honestly not sure whether Hoodoo is underrated or not, I debate it with myself a fair bit. Most people who know it seem to agree that it's brilliant and I've seen that lyric be lauded as Matt's best since I became a Muse fan. But then, at the same time, I feel like I don't really see it in that many top 10s so idk.

     

    Been thinking about overrated vs underrated stuff over the last couple of days so I present you mankind's greatest creation, arbitrary opinion lists:

     

    Screenager

    Hate This & I'll Love You

    Ruled By Secrecy

    Con-Science

    Forced In

    I Belong To You

    Recess

    Invincible

    Fillip

    Revolt

     

    Exogenesis

    MK Ultra

    Glorious

    Agitated

    Futurism

    Citizen Erased

    Dead Star

    The Handler

    Falling Away With You

    Sing For Absolution

     

    Agree with you on:

     

    Screenager

    I Belong to You

    Invincible

    Revolt

    Falling Away with You

     

    They are generally named Muse's worst song(s), and I highly disagree - they are low-key masterpieces.

     

    I don't think Exogenesis, MK Ultra, Glorious, Citizen Erased (:eek: really?) and The Handler are underrated at all – in fact, they are named some of Muse's best songs (which I sometimes agree with), so they're rightly rated.
