Absolution Tour was their best. My cousin went to night 2 of Earl's Court '04 and said it was the best gig they've ever been to.

Its easy to get bored of TIRO after we've heard it live for so many years, but it's still a great song. Admittedly I have a soft spot for TSP, but the chorus is huge and the live performances from '04 made it one of my favourites. Pressure is mediocre at best.. its far too long and has a chorus that feels out of place If FAWY and Endlessly were released after TR they would probably both be worse songs. Endlessly would be overproduced and ladened with extra backing vocals and FAWY would go through cheesier chord progressions (like the horrid bridge section in The Void). So you're right they'd get more stick but I recon it'd be warranted as the same songs with a 2018 Muse finish would likely be pretty bad.

For me: Stockholm Syndrome Ruled By Secrecy Butterflies & Hurricanes Fury Hysteria Blackout The Small Print Break it to Me Apocalypse Please Sing for Absolution Propaganda Time is Running Out Falling Away With You Endlessly The Dark Side Algorithm The Void Blockades Thoughts of Dying an Atheist (agree this is by far the weakest on Abso) Pressure Dig Down Thought Contagion Something Human Get Up and Fight So I guess I find the good songs on ST to be amongst the same quality as the average songs on Absolution. The problem with ST is most of the second half of the album is bordering on unlistenable.
-
Guiding Light was probably the worst Muse song when it was released, but since then we've had Revolt, Aftermath, The Globalist, Something Human, Get up and Fight, Thought Contagion and most of the songs on The 2nd Law.. safe to say it's probably not even in the bottom 10 anymore!
-
Considerably worse songs though, nothing on ST comes close to the quality of song writing seen on Absolution... maybe BITM comes closest.

Villains was a massive disappointment and Kendrick is king. If you type Kendrick Lamar generic into google, the autocorrect changes it to Kendrick Lamar genius - that should tell you enough!

At least NSC was a complete one off though. According to Matt, Dig Down will be on the new album. Comparing to the other electro-pop singles, I think it's considerably worse than UD, Madness and DI - and they all came off average to poor albums. Puts a big downer on this next album before we've even gotten to the proper build up stage..
