"Citizen Erased" pwns all Muse songs by immeasurable lengths. With second place going to “Newborn.” Yeah, OoS is close to a masterpiece...well it was when it first came out.

I also love Absolution, and although Showbiz has its occasional high points, most of it just doesn't hold up to their other works. Absolution has classics such as "Butterflies and Hurricanes" and "Apocalypse Please," not to mention the prequel to DT's "Never Enough: "Stockholm Syndrome."

The downside to Muse is Bellamy's fascination with the chords that I now call "Muse chords." I'm sure all musos know what I'm talking about here. They're present in at least 50% of the tracks off Absolution and I actually have nothing against them, but after a while it gets tiresome.
