The Resistance is a great album.
All songs contained in TR are basically melodious in nature. And I always salute Bellamy on this skill. While the album moves the music in similar style from start to end with various melodies among songs, it seems like cohesive as a whole. Therefore the album passes the test on structural integrity. And most importantly, the harmonies resulting from the interaction among instruments, programming as well as vocals are also excellent. And I'm all about the harmony.

Unintended is the worst song Muse has ever made. It's just flat, cheesy, and uninspired.
-
Furthermore, I don't really like the heavier songs off of Absolution, like SS and Hysteria. They're really nothing special, though they're not by any means bad. The slower songs (B&H, SFA, Blackout, etc.) are amazing, though.
But those are like..the best part of that album.
-
Absolution is the worst put-together album. I just don't think it flows at all. I know people complain about BHaR, but I just don't like how it was put together.
lolwut. The way the album flows is just amazing. Each song has somehthing in common yet differs in many ways. It almost felt like a concept album.
-
Of course, but the higher notes make for a much more interesting vocal performance.
Have you ever heard of Nina Simone? or Johnny Cash? or Nick Cave?
-
Woah there, chill. It's okay to not like a song, it happens sometimes.
And I admit that version you posted was the best I have heard of that song.
I was just kidding. Why are you guys so easy to troll?
-
Any version of Hyper Music is shit. I hate that song.
You're the cancer that's killing Muse.
-
Consistently crap production and relatively uninspired songs (cf. the entire middle of the album)?
In my opinion, it was an album which shifts seamlessly between many diverse styles but still feels unified by an energetic rocking approach throughout (save for a couple breathers). The diversity works beautifully, as there is hardly any weaker track on it.
It also included their first ventures into pop songwriting and electronics, but they are engaging and done flawlessly. It's kinda hard to understand though, how the fans which derided Supermassive Black Hole didn't notice how its danceable styling was clearly anticipated by TIRO. And of course, most important of all: it is an incredibly fun record.

BHaR is by far the most consistent Muse album up to now.
Knights Of Cydonia is a work of genius.
-
Muse is a great band.
-
Weezer's 'Buddy Holly' is a lot better than most Muse songs.
Buddy Holly's 'Peggy Sue' is a lot better than most Weezer songs.

ok, i know this is a little off topic, but i suppose thi fits in this thread, although i doubt anyone would agree with me.
but, is it just me or does the verse of sing for absolution with all the effects on his voice make him sound like herbert from family guy? Ya know, the old, white haired pedophile with the slow dog, hunchback, and lisp. I mean, don't get me wrong, love the song, but it took me far longer to get use to it compared to the rest coz of that. Its just coz of the effect, THEY SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME!
anybody agree? no?
wouldn't have thought so.anyway, sorry for the interruption, now u may continue your boring lists of muse/radiohead albums.
lol

It seems like the people who do like classical music hate it the most.
Dunno though, this is just my experience.
I like classical music and I love Exogenesis.
idunnolol.
-
Haha same. I was really confused when everyone started saying that it was hard to get into.
I don't think it was hard to get into. I just don't see what all the fuss was about.

Is it just me or do I smell butthurt people here? ^__^

My controversial opinions:
I was a fan of Muse before I got into Radiohead. But after hearing all of Radiohead's albums, I can easily say that I prefer Radiohead's over Muse's if we were to compare them in reverse chronological order.
In Rainbows>The Resistance
Hail to the Thief>Black Holes and Revelations
Amnesiac>Absolution
Kid A>Origin of Symmetry
Ok Computer>Showbiz
The Bends> n/a
Pablo Honey> n/a
I would also like to add that Amnesiac might be my favorite Radiohead album. Which is surprising, because it was originally my least favorite when I first listened to it. This album seems to have some strange time released factors going for it.(which seems to be the case with most Radiohead albums, they just seem to get better with repeated listens)
In fact, I'll even go as far and say that the the following Amnesiac B-sides are better than anything on The Resistance:
The Amazing Sounds of Orgy -
Worrywort -
Trans-Atlantic Drawl -
Cuttooth -
Kinetic -
Fog -
I have talked to people who "hate kid A" and didn't realize that it is a dance album...check your ears first...then form an opinion
Musical taste is subjective etc.
-
Listened to it more than once?
I said I tried. Quite hard, actually.
ah well.. maybe they're just 2deep4me.（*´ー`)
-
Have you actually listened to any of their music post-1997?.
I have. and I tried to like it.

I
....oh and here's another controversial opinion with some Radiohead. KidA SUCKS! I give the guys kudos for being so ballsy on putting out something so fuckin' weird, but personally I don't get all the artsy-fartsy BS.
agreed.
I think maybe they are a spent force creatively, they simply have no more song ideas so they are just riding the wave of past glories doing jams in silly time signatures while wailing to critical acclaim.
They have a good scam going on really..
To be honest it's like they aren't even trying anymore, they don't have to, because they can still release any old half baked musical doodle to critical acclaim & if you for once even try to suggest this is what they actually do you are met with a firm chorus of "You just aren't smart enough to understand a work of this genius!"
Maybe they are performing some sort of social experiment on us..
"Pushing it a bit this time aren't we Thom? this record is pretty much just an hour of wailing with clicking noises & glockenspiel"
The bitching of the fans here has turned me off from Muse.Good job.
this.

Both Dom and Chris are replaceable, and not that important at all for the music.
I really hope you're trolling.

Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'.
anyone mentioned this before?

I'm sorry if my post may confuse you. I can't explain it very well since English is not my mother language.
I just tried to view The Resistance from melody, structure, and harmony side.
I didn't say it's a better album compared to the previous ones. I just don't get all the hate towards the album.
