Edit: ATDI sucked too.

For me that description would apply more so to ATDI which to me gets a bit repetitive. I don't care if it's prog or not, TMV is great and the vocals are far more pleasing than those of 75% of metal bands.

Both draw heavily from Buckley in my eyes (or ears), though Bellamy added his own little detestable style of breathing to the formula. The first two Muse albums are legit and I'll give them credit where credit is due, but the latest two just sound like they gave OK Computer one too many spins.
