Haha OoS DEF doesn't need one of these :p... there's too much genius packed into this one album for me to start raaaaving on. It somehow manages to get more incredibly EPIC with every listen! No matter how hard they try, I honestly don't believe our boys can top this one... it just set the bar waaay too high. Such an eclectic, unique, crazy mix of sounds fused together, one after the other, it's enough to make your ears explode! :D My top 5 Muse songs ever (bar HCM of course) are all from this alb. And I dun care what people say, as old as Feeling Good is getting, the studio version will always be great to me! I'm sooo glad that podcast was made about OoS, and the music-media are aware of it's groudnbreaking sound! Put simply, it's just Sooper-Effing-WIN! :D

In all honesty I didn't like this album that much the first time I listened to it, and before you cry out blasphemy let me say that that's is the beauty of it.

 

Just like 'Dark Side of the Moon' this is one of those strange sounding albums that has no intention whatsoever of being catchy or appealing to radio-friendly ears, but before you dismiss the album, you know it's almost subliminally inviting you to give it another chance, and that's why it's pure genius.

:LOL: I'm the only one who likes this album less.

 

It isn't flawless for me anymore. Most people know of my absolute disdain for Hyper Music (Hyper Chondriac Music, for the win. Every time. Except when against Futurism), but I'm not great with New Born, Space Dementia, and Megalomania. Or at least, not like I used to be. I listened to Space Dementia again today, and it was alright. So my love for it might be returning. But I've overplayed it. I know it.

Sadly I only got OoS for Plug In Baby and Feeling good, but then I just loved Citizen Erased, Darkshines and Newborn. Then Hyper Music and Bliss. And as of like 3 months ago I truely got into Muse and fell in love with Megalomania, Screenager, Micro Cuts, Space Dementia and began to listen to Bliss and Newborn alot less. I could say thats my favorite Album and to be VERY closely tied with Showbiz.

I really liked it when I first heard it, and it's grown on me since then. It's now one of my top three albums of all time (with IAMX - The Alternative, & Radiohead - Kid A), and probably even takes the number one spot. Just an amazing album from start to finish and still by far Muse's best. :happy:

When I first listened to it, I didn't like it at all, except Plug in Baby. I didn't listen to it for like a year, but when I really started getting back into Muse I gave the whole album a listen and I absolutely loved it. Since then it's just got better everytime I listen to it. It's by far my favourite album. :happy:

This album is friken amazing! The song that really got to me was Bliss for some reason. It's really good. I listened to this album on youtube from a person who posted up all the Muse songs and thank God there not copyrighted. Now I really want to buy it and once again I am getting it too. It'll help with my collection. Another really good song in the album is Dark Shines and Citizen Erased. This album has to be one of their best works. :happy:

At first I didn't like Screenager or Megalomania and it took a long while for them to grow on me. But I absolutely love them now and Megalomania is one of my favourite ever Muse tracks. I love the experimentation with all the different sounds. It's just genius. :happy:

Their best album easily.

 

The first 7 tracks are all superb and Screenager and Megalomania are nice songs too. I was never a big fan of Darkshines but it's okay. Feeling Good as we all know is just out of place on that album but it doesn't spoil it completely. It's still a compelling listen.
