5/5

 

Micro Cuts

Space Dementia

Citizen Erased

Megalomania

Darkshines

Hyper Music

Bliss

Screenager

New Born

Plug In Baby

Feeling Good

 

My only complain is the order of the songs. It doesn't matter if Feeling Good is out of place, because Screenager has already ruined the flow. It's an awesome song(on piano), but it really doesn't fit after Micro Cuts.

5/5

 

my favorite muse album BY FAR. and one of my favorite albums ever.

 

Good things about the album - the combination of the sound showbiz had and all the experimentation, distortion, and different instruments being used. bass being the driving force in many of the songs. the creativity.

 

Bad things about the album - it's raw and not as technical as later muse albums, HOWEVER... that works in their favor sometimes on this album. the order of the songs isn't that great. it doesn't flow that well.

 

Best track - new born. i feel it defines that album, along with citizen erased.

 

Worst track - screenager. it's the least appealing to me, but it's not BAD.

 

Favourite moment - too many to mention. the "for one momeeeennnnttt..." in CE. the scratching, distorted sound in the beginning of "hyper music". the riff in.... well the riffs in all the songs. piano in "new born". "feeling good"... makes me feel good. falsetto in "micro cuts". "bliss" is bliss. "darkshines" is sexy. PiB (especially that riff) is epic.

Here's my short review...

 

5/5 stars

 

Good things: Raw, edgy and not mainstream at all. Completely blows your socks off.

Bad things: Production is not perfect and sometimes quite poor. Has a slight lull towards the end but still kicks arse.

Favourite track: New Born but it is fucking close between that, Citizen Erased and Space Dementia and pretty close between SD and Bliss.

Least Favourite track: Feeling Good

Favourite moment: The riff in New Born - absolutely immense.

 

Best to worst:

 

1. Newborn

bee's dick

2. Citizen Erased

bee's dick

3. Space Dementia

2 bees' dicks

4. Bliss

bee's dick

5. Megalomania

bee's dick

6. Micro Cuts

7. Plug In Baby

8. Dark Shines

9. Hyper Music

10. Screenager

11. Feeling Good

It's almost perfect. My fave album along with Absolution. It's dark, heavy and Muse mixed a lot of different music genres!

 

Best Track: Citizen Erased, Bliss, PiB

Worst Track: Screenager

Favourite Moment:

"Wash me away, clean your body of me, erase all the memories they'll only bring us pain"

4.5/5 so basically a 5

 

I love the space sound. It's absolutely different sounding from the other albums and it's just awesome. I love the guitar, bass, and piano riffs in each of the songs and how I can blast these songs up and just sing them like nuts. Definitely songs to rock out too.

 

The bad things about the album is that a lot of the songs I can't understand the lyrics so it really pisses me off that I can't sing to them.

 

Best Song:New Born

Worst Song:Screenager (not my most fav on the album but I do like the song)

Best Moment:The high vocal in Megalomania (The second "Take off your disguise")
