WhisperedNotes Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Personally I find the Resistance to be my favourite Muse album. I feel it has a classical vibe to it in some songs which I love being a big fan of classical music, I especially love a section of a Chopin piece made it onto the album. Its the Muse album I listen to the most, but to each their own, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiT Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 3 of the first 5 songs are meh followed by 2 awesome ones, then one that is either a joke or the stupidest thing I've heard from a 'serious' band followed by 3 strong tracks but fail to meet the hype that was built up. So it's ok but the Tour was shit and highlighted how bad the bad songs were and barely touched the good ones. Whereas T2L was average throughout and thus the tour was good Still The Resistance is so much better than T2L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhisperedNotes Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Still The Resistance is so much better than T2L. Yes! Though I do love Animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follow Me Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I think The Resistance is a great album. I love how thematic it is as a collection of songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 TR remains my boyfriend's favorite Muse album, as well. (He believes Abso, my favorite, to be too "samey" and loves the new albums' variety.) Despite that, nearly all of his favorite songs are actually on BH&H, somehow... Different strokes, I guess.

Alexander DeLarge Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Still The Resistance is so much better than T2L. The Resistance is a better album but T2L has better material. T2L is higher highs and lower lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorerknight Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Here's the reason why the resistance is either loved or hated. There are two kinds of muse fans. Those who love the old albums, and think that everything beyond absolution is sub par, or those who enjoy the newer stuff without being prejudiced. Obviously, I'm generalizing here, so don't judge too harshly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 No there's 5 kinds. 1. Fans that prefer the Muse board 2. Fans that prefer Reddit 3. Fans that have a Muse related avatar 4. Casual listeners 5. Come to Brasil Overlap is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoledman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Honestly I gave a good faith attempt to like the album in 2009-2010. In the end I admitted it was crap except for Exogenesis. To me Exogenesis is like a good EP tacked on to the end of a mini-crapfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, I'm generalizing here, so don't judge too harshly. I believe Showbiz is average, but that's ok it's their debut and they're on 20-21 on this. OoS & Absolution/Hullabaloo B-Sides are their artistic pinnacle from 2001-2003. BH&R is the pivot-point where there is just as much sell-out pop(Starlight) as artistic tracks like Hoodoo. TR(except Exogenesis) & T2L(Animals undermined by stupid lyrics and ending part) are just pure drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally really liked Black Holes and Revelations, imo the Origin Era through til about 2008 was when Muse were at their best and while they weren't great, imo The Resistance wasn't too bad (Uprising, MK Ultra, Exogenesis saved it) and the 2nd Law wasn't too bad either, it had fun tracks like Panic Station and Survival and really decent tracks like Supremacy, Animals and Follow Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
