Sorry to bump a REAAAAAAALLLLY old thread but I'm new and I was looking for a thread like this to give my opinion of the albums....

 

Anyway, voted for OOS. I think this is my order: OOS, Absolution, Showbiz, Resistance, Black Holes and Revelations

 

 

But I'm really not sure because you see... I don't really have a favourite Muse song. There's plenty I love, Bliss, Newborn, Showbiz, Stockholm Syndrome, Ruled By Secrecy, Citizen Erased... heaps more too but I just don't know which one I like the most. I notice a few posters have put their song ratings on each album. Might do that when I get a fair bit of time to do it.

 

For now, I'll go with my gut and say OOS, purely because it has three songs that I know would be in my top ten Muse songs.

Quick rating, more for myself than my opinion. I've never really sat down and rated all the use songs.

 

Showbiz - 4 stars (out of five)

 

Sunburn 9/10 (terrific song, being the opening track on their debut album it has a lot of presssure but handles it well)

Muscle Museum 8/10 (great track, love the bass)

Fillip 6/10 (meh, doesn't do much for me)

Falling Down 6/10 (some great piano in this - apart from that, not much going on)

Cave 9/10 (the piano solo at the end takes about half of the points I gave this song)

Showbiz 10/10 (bloody fantastic song!!!!)

Unintended 7/10 (srsly! I love this song!)

Uno 8/10 (Pretty good song. Great riff)

Sober 7/10 (Not much to say here - just a good song)

Escape 9/10 (one of the most underrated Muse songs IMO)

Overdue 5/10 (possibly their worst song - still good though)

HTAILY - 7/10 (this song is missing something - it could've been number one - lol!)

 

Origin of Symmetry - 5 stars (out of five)

 

New Born - For years I thought this title was one word but no, it's actually two words... lol anyway 10/10 (Just about the perfect Muse song, possibly my favourite, but fighting with Showbiz and Citizen Erased I think)

Bliss - 10/10 - (This song just knocks your socks off)

Space Dementia - 10/10 (Best piano song)

Hyper Music - 8/10 (Great song, killer riff. Not much else though)

Plug In baby 9/10 - (Yet another killer riff. Great track this one)

Citizen Erased 10/10 - (Perfect - well just about - from start to finish)

Micro Cuts 9/10 (Grew on me after a while, so brooding this track! Love it!)

Screenager 8/10 (A very, very underrated song)

Darkshines 8/10 (people just forget about this one don't they, lol)

Feeling Good 7/10 (Weakest song on the album but gains a point for being the song which made me reliase how good a drummer Dom is)

Megalomania 9/10 (perfect album closer)

 

Absolution - 5 stars

 

Apocalypse please - 9/10 (fantastic opening to the album)

TIRO - 7/10 (Weakest single IMO)

Sing for Absolution - 9/10 (terrific song)

Stockholm Syndrome - 10/10 (:awesome:)

FAWY - 9/10 (a gorgeous, beautiful song)

Hysteria - 9/10 (2nd best guitar solo behind Newborn - actually perhaps even ahead)

Blackout - 8/10 (A peaceful lovely song.)

B and H 7/10 (Its OK, but to me this is one of the most overrated Muse songs. Still love the shit out of it.

TSP 7/10 (Filler)

Endlessly - 8/10 (Also underrated)

TOADA - 7/10 (Also filler, slightly ahead of TSP)

Ruled By Secrecy - 10/10 (Fucking magnificent)

 

Black Holes and Revealtions - 3 stars

 

take a bow - 10/10 (masterpiece, cannot fault it)

starlight 7/10 - (It's OK. Hideously overrated)

SBH 7/10 (started a five, grew on me and became an 8, drops to 7 thanks to twilight)

MOTP - 9/10 - (A lot of people need to understsand just how fucking good this song is)

SP - 6/10 (Still better than overdue, actually a very good song, but far too short)

Invinicible 8/10 - (3rd best guitar solos and one of the most incredible choruses)

Assassin -7/10 - (Love the ferocity of this song, makes me want to smash shit up)

Exo-Polotics 6/10 (Just weak IMO)

City of Delusion 9/10 (a terrific song - love the trumpet solo)

Hoodoo 9/10 (another brooding piano based song. Just stunning)

Knights of Cydonia 10/10 - (Instant classic)

 

The Resisitance - 4 stars

Uprising 8/10 (actually one of my favourite tracks)

Resistance - 8/10 (verses incredible, intro and outro incredible, rest of the song mediocre)

Undisclosed Desires - 8/10 (Has its moments, very strange song, but still likable)

UsoE 8/10 (Mostly for the Collateral Damage part)

Guiding LIght 5/10 (marginally better than overdue - still love this song, just weaker than everything else)

unnatural Selection 9/10 - kickstarts the second half of the album.

Mk Ultra - 8/10 - The intro is a bit... :wtf: - the rest is just fucking sweet though.

IBTY 8/10 - Purely for teh lulz :LOL::LOL:

Exogenesis - as one song 10/10 - a fucking masterpiece! But as three tracks

part i - 9/10 - best track on the album

part ii - 7/10 - weakest part of the three, but very enjoyable nonetheless. best lyrics of the three

part iii - 8/10 - so beautiful and heartbreaking - what a way to end the album.

 

Right time for me to go to bed.

 

yep, that's the order I'd go. OOS>Absolution>Showbiz>Black Holes>Resistance

OoS

Absolution

Showbiz/The Resistance/BHaR - These change around too much, but they are basically tied for third.

Way too many inconsistencies on Resistance and BHaR. One track is amazing, and the next track is a totally different genre with a different mood. It doesn't work.
