MAurelia Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It’s clear for me: the worst album is The Second Law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel_Tufnel Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Based on staying power, it's unquestionably Simulation Theory. Even the last three albums stayed in steady rotation for months. I was sick of ST after a week or two. It's already hit-and-miss whether I listen to any of it at all. It's just bad music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMuZ Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The 2nd Law without a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim59 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 T2L had Survival, Madness, Animals, Big Freeze (it's fun) and Isolated System at least. Drones had Dead Inside and The Handler. And many of their most boring songs. It's a clear Drones for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairolfitri Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The 2nd Law. Too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemsy Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Ummmm I can't decide. I didn't like drones. But I think that was because I was somehow disappointed that it wasn't heavier hahahaaaa. Straight away my brain clung to The Handler and Reapers and binned the rest. But Listening back to a couple of tracks it's actually crispy as fuck and I don't know what I was thinking. So this is hard... Maybe Matt is right with his 'fans are 5 years behind' theory after all hahaha Edited December 25, 2018 by Gemsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 T2L was 6 years ago though. Does that mean opinions of it are now accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howardm93 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Crazy to think that The 2nd Law was 6 years ago. Time flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Crazy to think that The 2nd Law was 6 years ago. Time flies. Really?? Seems way longer to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I go back and forth between T2L and Showbiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm surprised there are votes for Showbiz. Sure, it's a step below their best albums, but not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 TR by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Born Lee Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 T2L. Of all their albums it just seems the most aimless by far. I kinda like Madness, Big Freeze and Isolated System but only Panic Station and Animals come close to being among my favourites. Survival and Unsustainable strike me as desperate. The rest is so boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static shadows Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Tough. The 2nd Law is barely an album and most of it is awful, but it is at least memorably awful. Then there's Drones which is slightly less awful but so incredibly forgettable. I honestly struggle to remember what half the tracks even sound like. It's a toss up, but I think I've got to go with The 2nd Law. I struggle to listen to the vast majority of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'm surprised there are votes for Showbiz. Sure, it's a step below their best albums, but not by much. As a whole album it is the weakest for me. Yes,there are true gems on it like the title track, Sunburn, or Unintended but it just lacks a flow for me, I can't listen to half of the songs.

forevermusic Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Resistance. There are bright spots but the highs just don't match those on the other albums and it feels fairly muddled. I'm aware you can make the same second criticism of The 2nd Law but I do like a lot of that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel_Tufnel Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I remember a time where TR would’ve crushed this vote Unfortunately, Muse have released some solid challengers for this competition in the past 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 The 2nd Law. Don't hate it but like it the least of all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_In_Showbiz Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Drones by far! It has 2 songs I love (The Handler and DI) and I enjoy the odd listen to Repears but beyond a few fleeting moments in other songs, there is not much else to enjoy. I hate the theme of the album, the artwork, it's just bleak. T2L beats it by having Animals, Supremacy, Panic Station, Madness and a bigger collection of enjoyable moments throughout. Both still way behind TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TePineer Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Showbiz. There are a few really awesome songs like Showbiz, Cave and Escape, but some are really forgettable like Unintended, Overdue and the worst offender, Fillip. The 2nd law is bad as an album but I love every single song on that album and I dislike some on Showbiz, so it's a clear choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) For me, T2L absolutely defines 'forgettable'. Showbiz fizzes with juvenile ideas and experiments - the less successful ones are inherently memorable on account of them being the avenues Muse rejected. They were vital to shaping the band's sound. T2L merely emphasised experimentation for experimentation's sake is pisspoor. And that Muse excel when working within certain confines.

forevermusic Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I remember a time where TR would’ve crushed this vote I remember shortly after TR came out and it was seen as an improvement on Black Holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I remember shortly after TR came out and it was seen as an improvement on Black Holes. V shortly it was up there with Origin but then it was bottom of pretty much everyone’s list not long into the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
