I thought they'd hit rock bottom with The Resistance but this is to be the cheesiest, most naff thing I've seen all year.


Muse - The 2nd Law - Album Trailer - YouTube

Post your thoughts I guess

Muse used to be kind of good as well but their jump into commercialism has caused their quality to drop massively, can you think of any other bands that have fallen this far?

They were decent on their first two albums. Showbiz is like a slightly less good version of The Bends but still quite good and with the odd piano now and then. I still think the title track is a killer song no matter what people say.

Origin Of Symmetry is also pretty good with a sound more developed and slightly more adventurous than that of Showbiz with that Space Dementia song which I also still enjoy.

Their B-sides collection from that era has some good stuff on there as well.

Unfortunately, from then onwards they sounded more and more bland with more, more focus on self indulgent pseudo-political themes and just a much more "stadium rock" style generally.

This new stuff just takes the cake though.

Please Charlie, they were always a very commercial band, "too scared to be metal but too metal to be cool" as I remember someone saying.
And also remember that they always sounded very similar on every album, going dubstep is the last ditch attempt to sound different.

^^ I don't know what band you're listening to but, in my opinion, Origin of Symmetry sounds completely different to everything else they have done and Showbiz stands alone too.

Actually you do have a fair point, Origin of Symmetry is very different indeed. "Space Dementia" is obviously the most striking example:



I can hear some ideas from classical music mirrored here, listen to the beginning Rachmaninov's second piano concerto to see what I mean:

Goofle

Not really surprised by the change in style. I used to be a Muse fan, and I still like their early stuff a decent amount, but they have always been pandering douche bags.
