The lyrics are pretty weak on the new album actually in my opinion. Especially on stuff like United States of Eurasia and Unnatural Selection. The latter is a pretty decent track musically but certainly not lyrically. Matt Bellamy's lyrics are not for everyone and he's no genius but there are usually lyrics in every album that I like or I can get a kick out of.
I couldn't disagree more about Exogenesis, KH. Sure there might be better orchestral music out there but Muse are in reality a pop group. Sure they have their uncommercial moments amonst their radio friendly singles but Exogenesis is a fairly ballsy move for a band with their commercial appeal. I think it's a wonderful track.
