Max Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 And its a very opininated topic...thats why its still going... Yeah but the fact remains that Muse don't sound like Radiohead whatsoever. There's a few touches perhaps during the Showbiz-era but Origin Of Symmetry just blew all the comparisons away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsertCreativeNameHere Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Both are awesome, there will always be dicks who want to argue about it but its a total waste of time. Listen to both bands and enjoy some good music ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discoprincess32 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Fuse (a US music channel) was playing a block of videos from RH, I woke up halfway through the program, they were playing High & Dry (great vid BTW), Bodysnatchers (didn't like this song or video at all!!!!!) and Just (which is from The Bends-the album most people say they sound alike) and I don't think that Thom Yorkes voice sounds anything like Matts. On Just, Johnnys guitaring sounds a bit like Matts, but that the only parallel I hear at all. Thoms voice is deeper and more even keel whereas Matts seems to have more "range". Matts vocals are clearer and Thoms are vocals are mushier (I can't understand him as well as I can Matt). There is a definate difference in there vocal styles. It's bizarre how people think they sound alike. It's like Thom invented Falsetto. Men have been singing falsetto (Judas Priest anyone?) for eons. Whats sad is that major US publications (the largest being Rolling Stone) have their heads shoved so far up RH butts if anything even remotely sounds like them, they refuse to even acknowledge the band as legit. This is why Muse will most likely never be big like Coldplay, etc...in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Muse will most likely never be big like Coldplay, etc...in the US. Well, if it's any consolation music magazines don't really make or break bands - even less now that many people switched from printed media to internet as a mean to discover new music. Rolling Stone never had much love for Led Zeppelin (their recent cover was actually their *first* RS cover ever), but that didn't stop them from selling truckloads.

Johanna Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Please let's kill this thread. Both bands are amazing and both bands sound different from each other. Muse DOES NOT sound like Radiohead. Now everyone stop posting.

Museangel Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I dont think there should be a comparison. Muse should be in a whole new genre they are out of this world and unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrison1976 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 You know what, i have never understood this "muse sound like radiohead" thing. I got into radiohead at the very begining, and loved them up to ok computer. After that they changed there direction, and i was not quite the same with them. Muse on the other hand i got into through my x girlfriend, and i never thought they sounded like radiohead at all, i just ca't see it. I like muse better, and i feel that muse has got better with each album, while radiohead have not. Matt is just a talent, very underated in my opinion.

Johanna Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Matt's always been underrated. Finnish critics love to slag Muse off a bit too much and they are also guilty of the endless and pointless and extremely irritating Radiohead comparisons. The worst review even had the guts to say this about Muse: "They can't be serious". That was pretty hurtful. No respect towards their unique talents as musicians and the fact of them making such unique music and having a singer with such an unique voice that no-one would (most likely) ever be able to copy and to have such songwriting talent and to have the charm on stage to blow the audience away even without the cool big effects, rocking the audience only with their instruments. That is a talent. They make music out of love, unlike too many bands these days, and what do they get in return? It makes me sad. I hate the press here because of this. I know I should ignore them but when every Finnish critic keeps doing this it's not easy to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no matter how much we think they don't sound alike some idiot is going to come along and make the comparison. Shame on them for not being intelligent enough to realize the beauty that is Muse.

Matt, Chris and Dom = legends! Yeah that's always the case. But it's their loss. They'll regret their words in a few ten years time. Because Muse WILL be remembered as one of the most special and greatest and most talented and the most kick-arse bands of our time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsertCreativeNameHere Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Well I think there a few people guilty of just bumming Muse no matter what they bring out. I actually think Muse have gone downhill since Hullabaloo. I'll probably get a torrent of people disagreeing with me but, meh. They still make great music but they have never re-captured what they had on OOS imo. I don't think they sound like Radiohead either, in my opinion Radiohead are more innovative and less repetitive than Muse are, but I still prefer Muse. Sick of the pointless comparison.

Johanna Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I've never seen Muse as a band that repeats themselves. The opposite. In my opinion they keep finding new ways to mix different music styles and make it work. And keep getting bolder as a band too to become more and more different from the mass and from their past with each new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
