I think there are individual songs on 2nd law that are okay on their own (Animals, Supremacy, and I have a soft spot for Explorers), but as an album it didn't work at all. Worse Muse album by a long shoot. I am one of those weirdos who loves The Resistance...but it would be good to have a return to Absolution era Muse. I miss the clasical refernces in the riffs, and they are starting to sound more and more like a generic rock band with pop sensibilities instead of the unique 'Muse sound' of old.
