That's the way I felt. It was difficult to choose a least favorite on the albums. May be easier to choose a favorite, well, maybe not now that I think about it.

Showbiz - Escape OOS - Feeling Good Absolution - Endlessly Black Holes and Revelations - Soldier's Poem The Resistance - I Belong To You The 2nd Law - Unsustainable Drones - Don't have it yet!

So sad, will put Bellamy, you, and your wife in my thoughts and prayers.

As far as Geddy Lee's vocals, I wish he could still scream like he did on Hemispheres and before. Find a version of Garden Road and let your ears bleed from Ged's nasal-scream! Alex Lifeson taught me how to play guitar where Jimmy Page and Angus Young left off. Rush will always be one of my favorite bands as well.

I was playing a gig one night with my band and "Uprising" began to emit from the juke box as we were packing up our instruments. I really liked it and asked our keyboard player who it was. He told me and I struggled to remember the next day but somehow did and stumbled upon a few of their videos. I quickly discovered, Muse is for real! Great songs, great live perfmormance, etc. Once I bought all of their CD's and DVD's, I remember hearing "Cave" years ago but I did not appreciate what they had to offer as much back then. They are now one of my favorite bands along with Rush, The Cure, Pink Floyd, and Hooverphonic.

1. Micro Cuts 2. Ruled By Secrecy 3. Space Dementia 4. Plug In Baby 5. Super Massive Black Hole 6. Knights of Cydonia 7. Uprising 8. Take A Bow 9. Animals 10. New Born

I am listening to and enjoying the tracks. Promises is playing right now. Very nice. You put in a lot of work and you sound real good! I have some stuff up on reverbnation at When you get a chance, check them out.

I did not get to vote but I do like OOS the best, then Absolution. At least that is this week!

I think I like Origins of Symmetry best, then Absolution, then Resistance, then Black Holes.

Thanks! The songs are pretty stripped down since I wanted to be able to play them live. My older stuff had lots of layers, strings and lots of other key board sounds. Thanks again for listening and commenting!

Anybody think the songs were good, bad, etc? I know it's not Muse but I put a lot of work into the songs. I just started listening to Muse about a month ago. I never knew they were out there until then. I play guitar, some classical piano, bass, etc, and thought if I worked hard enough, I could have been something with the music. Matthew Bellamy's song writing really hit home because of its complexity, harmonies, arpeggios, and depth. The songs on my link are more guitar oriented because a friend wanted me to do a more guitar oriented CD. I tried to use the keyboards as little as possible on this CD. Anyway, if you listened, thanks and let me know what you thought. I will admit, I am no vocalist but had no one else to work with on the CD so I did what I could with my limitations.

I have a few originals on soundcloud if anyone is interested. I wrote, performed all of the instruments, mixed, etc. I am mainly a guitar player but also play bass, keys, drums, and sing a bit. Nothing spectacular though, lol.
