    The best and worst of each album

    in Songs & Releases

    Posted

    Out of curiosity, how well does he do with his pronunciations? I'm no expert at French, though I do know Spanish pretty well.

     

    I had to read the lyrics to figure out that it was (meant to be) French, and none of my friends or family members ever figured it out by themselves. The only thing that sounds French is the "sez-moi" in "versez-moi l'ivresse".

     

    But most opera singers aren't better at it.

    Showbiz:

    Best: Matt's singing (voice cracks and screams as Jobby said) is very sincere and emotional. Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Cave, Showbiz and Uno (and HTAILY?) are still among the very best songs Muse have put out, and the immaturity of the other tracks is just cute.

    Worst: That cover. Eww.

     

    Origin of Symmetry:

     

    Best: Unique, crazy and every song is at least a 9/10.

    Worst: PIB with the longer bridge and the triplets would have been better.

     

    Absolution:

    Best: Massive. Doesn't even look pale in comparison to the great OoS.

    Worst: The production at times, the lack of EM and Fury (TSP and TOADA should have been b-sides).

     

    Black Holes & Revelations:

    Best: Electronic Muse is a win. TaB, SMBH, MOTP and KOC are monuments in their discography.

    Worst: Too much wasted potential.

     

    The Resistance:

    Best: Logical continuation from BH&R, mostly good/great songs.

    Worst: Terrible tracklisting and the production is too clean.

     

    The 2nd Law:

     

    Best: Matt's vocals, although he doesn't sing on the best track of the album.

    Worst: Lack of inspiration; Save Me.

     

    Drones:

     

    Best: The sound as Tjet coined it. Some really good songs.

    Worst: The idea of going backwards.

    A bit less loud and right in your face isn't it?

     

    Edit: and I do think it sounds better (clearer) pitched-up.

     

    Edit 2: Listening to it again, you're probably right. I think it's just the louder guitar and the extended solo covering his voice that alleviate the "listen to me singing high notes" impression.

    What most of us are saying isn't that Muse outright sucked after BH&R. It's more about them not having a strong direction and falsely trying to reinvent themselves by trying a bit of everything as one-shots instead of digging deeper on other aspects of their music (typically T2L). There are still songs that I like, but it feels different. When I think of T2L, I rate it as perhaps their worst album; but when I think about the individual songs on the album, I really like most of them (Madness, PS, Survival, FM, Animals, Uns, IS and possibly Supremacy). Still, as an album I find it to hard to listen to, even the good songs. That's entertaining, but Muse gave me so much more than entertainment that I can't settle for that and be happy with it.

     

    That being said, I believe that TR was a logical and flowing continuation from BH&R, it's just that BH&R took a small turn that wasn't EXACTLY what most of us would've liked best, but if you accept BH&R as it is, then TR isn't out of place imo. And that's one of the reasons why I'm more indulgent towards TR than T2L or Drones. TR might not be my favourite album (though it does have songs that I love), but I'm okay with that because I feel I understand where they were going and I can see its logic. It is legitimate in Muse's discography, unlike T2L.
