CitizenAgitated Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Trying to get a handle on what % of Muse fans prefer the early gritty stuff vs the later more polished material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylee Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Is early considered Showbiz & OoS and later is Abso & BH&R? If it's like that, I definitely prefer the early gritty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QueenOfNerds Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Generally I prefer the older stuff, but some of my all time favourite muse songs (well favourite songs of all time) are on BH&R... so tough one to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-duck Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 i said i love it all equally but that's not entirely true... I'm not a huge fan of showbiz, but I love origin and absolution but that wasn't a choice in the poll so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Absolution Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 i don't love all of it equally. i like all of the album but each one i like more than another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fia Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 haha, epic fail:) (no it wasnt me, just reminded me of something) I like OoS a lot, but as someone else said some of my absolute fav songs are on the later albums... But I love almost every song they've done:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenAgitated Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Judging by the results so far 9/11 love the early material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josefine Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I love the early stuff but Abso may well be my fav Muse album, followed by Origin. I think that BH&R har some great tunes (Assassin, KoC, MOTP, SMBH) but also some really weak tracks (Starlight, Invincible). Showbiz also got some weaker songs but the energy and youthful desperation make up for the lack of 'quality' in some of the songs. BH&R is simply too polished and tame imo. Hullabaloo is simply perfection, I love that one. HAARP is also great, but it just doesn't touch me as Hullabaloo does. Abso tour DVD is somewhere in between. This said, I voted "I love all equally", because I (almost) do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meep Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Er I like OOS, half of Hullabaloo, Abso, and hate most of Showbiz, BHAR and most of the B Sides. So I voted epic fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Ditto as above. I think Showbiz is mainly awful (bar Muscle Museum and Showbiz), OOS and Absolution are brilliant, and that BH&R is mainly awful (bar Take A Bow, Map Of The Problematique and City Of Delusion).

Finlay Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 RAW AND OoS!!! But both, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Eras are wrong for me. Early/Showbiz is a different era to OOS/Hullabaloo for me. I much prefer the latter because of the depth they had to their songs. Completely different Musey periods. The contrast between album 1 and 2 is astounding.

forevermusic Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I took the cowards way out and voted EPIC FAIL. It's because Showbiz, OoS and Hullabaloo have a 'charm' through their rawness though the slicker stuff also works. Absolution is the best album, which was the start of the slickness but still rougher round the edges than BHaR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theproblematique. Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Picked pre-Absolution, although I'll probably have changed my mind by tomorrow *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Star Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Well, considering Absolution was the first album I listened to, I will always count it as my favorite, followed closely by Origin of Symmetry. I think both are masterpieces and I love them. I thought Showbiz was a bit on the weak side especially the latter half of the album, but I understand it's because they chose the least progressive songs to put on it, a 'safe' album. Black Holes and Revelations is pure experimental and exploration with a few added familiarities and the 'tightness' of the songs make it brilliant. So with the boys having these behind them as experience, I'm confident they know exactly what to do on the next album which may as well blow everything else out of the water.

darkshineskitty Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I like Origin Of Symmetry the most usually; the songs are very energetic and well composed, and they just make you go 'wow'. That said, I have to admit I am one of the Absolution fans. Absolution was the first Muse album I bought, having heard Hysteria. I remember some people being very against Absolution fans when it came out because it was considered much more commercial than the other two albums. I still love Absolution to pieces though Showbiz and Black Holes and Revelations are also pretty great, although I favour songs like Sober over Muscle Museum or Sunburn, and I'm quite a fan of Soldier's Poem despite the fact that many people don't like it. I think I generally favour Abso and OoS because I have memories of really discovering Muse with them, so that makes them stand out in my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Absolution Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The epic fails are picking up, shame really, not a bad question. i'll be honest, i only picked it because none of the other options suited me. i don't love each album equally -- i love them all, but not equally.
