Any other bands similar to Muse?

Even being aware that Muse are basically a bashing of many different pre-existing sounds I do think they have something of a style of their own that I don't find very often.

 

Imo Showbiz- Abso and BHAR - T2L have a very own sound.

There are certainly typical Muse melodies and Matt has a distinctive voice.

 

It's lovely to see that there are still Muse fans in Banter :happy:

So... all of the albums?

 

I just wanted to show that these "eras" have a slightly different sound.:$

 

I don't agree with the people who say Muse have not an own sound.

There are just different types of Muse songs (Matt or Dom said that T2L sound like 3 different bands)

 

electronic rock/pop: UD, Madness,Follow Me, MotP, TAB

"slightly" symphonic rock: CoD, Supremacy, Survival, USoE

"Muse rock" (couldn't find a better term): Uprising, US, MKU, Assassin, Animals

I caught that after making the post. It's late at night, forgive me.

 

 

:stunned:

 

:)

 

Don't want to turn this into a "Muse aren't unique anymore" thread though, so back on topic -

there's a band called Civil Twilight that are sort of Musey + Coldplay-ish. I've not heard their debut album but their second album (Holy Weather) is alright.

 

There's also a French indie band called Stuck In The Sound, but with only a slight hint of similarity.

I did email the band "Me" through their facebook and received an awesome response. I pretty much asked if there was any meaning behind their logo. Like what it stood for. And this is what I got back

ME: - "yeah he's our little man, It means everything and nothing like ME. You are the center of your own universe so in a way you mean everything but on a grander scale you mean nothing. A little man inside of a circle that represents everything.... and nothing, maybe one day he will mean something on a grander scale."

 

That is such a cool idea and makes me like them even more. I'm still confused about the album artwork, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually

Last three albums do not have a sound of their own, just a collection of various pre-existing genres with the only link being Matt's voice.

 

So the question these days is more "Who do Muse sound like?" rather than "Who sounds like Muse?"

 

Stuff I heard from the last album, can barely remember it now, one song was 80's Prince/Bowie, another was awful rock with OTT orchestra, another was bad electronic pop and another was generic mainstream Dubstep. Whereas OOS & Absolution, nothing else quite sounded like that at the time.

Origin and Abso are quite different from Showbiz. Not sure why those should be all clumped together.

Certain songs on Showbiz: Sunburn, Showbiz, maybe Muscle Museum

You say the songs from BHAR-T2L does not sound like Muse in any way? I'd say this era just has a set of different influences compared to OoS-Abso.

 

It's not that bad. This formula works in favor of Muse in a lot of songs. For example UD, USoE, SMBH,even Madness and Panic Station (which has a Muse-y solo). They all take from pre-existing genres /sounds, but still sound Muse-y (to me at least).

 

Like A Fox is like a mix of Muse and early Radiohead, but for the most part ME sounds more like Muse but with a different style of over-the-topness rather than Radiohead.

 

ME has more in common with Queen than with Muse imo. (There is certainly a bit of Muse in their sound, but aesthetically it's more Queen.)
