Origin of Symmetry

VINYL FORMAT. After 2004's U.S. breakthrough success with Absolution for U.K. favorite Muse, the band's second album, 2001's Origin of Symmetry, finally earned its stateside release.

"...if want to sound like Radiohead when even Thom Yorke doesn't want to sound like Radiohead, you might as well take it to preposterous, bombastic, over-the-top levels. Add church organs, mental electronics, riffs bouncing off each other like the monolithic screams in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and you'll finally be in position to crack skulls like coconuts and make the world's speakers ooze gooey blood." - All Music Guide
