Muse

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Muse's fusion of progressive rock, glam, electronica, and Radiohead-influenced experimentation is crafted by guitarist/vocalist Matthew Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme, and drummer Dominic Howard. Bored by the sleepy life provided by their hometown of Teignmouth, Devon, the three British friends began playing music together. They started the first incarnation of their band while only 13 years old, changing the name of the group from Gothic Plague to Fixed Penalty to Rocket Baby Dolls as time passed. By 1997, the bandmates settled on the name Muse an...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. On clear vinyl! LP version of Muse's debut album, Showbiz. "The British trio Muse is equal parts punk and prog rock. Like most prog rockers, Muse approach their work like opera, from their love of huge song structures to lead singer Matthew Bellamy's soprano arias... Their debut, Showbiz, matches [Radiohead's] Thom Yorke's penchant for majestic agony - screams and the word self-destruction pepper the title track - but with an edge that's quirkier and decidedly more ragged than th   [ read more ]

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.

VINYL FORMAT. If Muse sounded like a new band on Black Holes and Revelations it's because, after Glastonbury, they were: expanded of mind, settled of spirit and anything but sedentary of sound. Lyrical themes abound from apocalyptic soundbites to conspiracy theories to the idea that identity cards are the first sign of the onset of the end of the world. Black Holes and Revelations was the band's brightest and most dynamic set of songs at the time.

VINYL FORMAT. With Absolution, Muse continued to expand on their unique rock sound with complex guitars, transition-laden rock anthems with melodic harmonics Described in All Music Guide as ".. the emotional intensity and style of Radiohead, a rock thunder descended from Black Sabbath, and the baroque drama of Queen..." Muse switched gears with new producer Rich Costey, creating a smoother more polished sound. Absolution had plenty of punch to satisfy their hard core fans, while its   [ read more ]

The Resistance is the fifth studio album from Muse. Following seven years of near solid touring, Muse escalated from being the biggest band in Teignmouth in 1997 to one of the biggest bands in Europe by 2004.

Whether you view them as dynamic rock & roll rulers or overblown Radiohead knock-offs, it's hard to contend with Muse's strength as a live act. H.A.A.R.P. shows the band strutting its stuff in front of a sold-out audience at Wembley Stadium, with a set list that relies heavily on 2006's Black Holes and Revelations but still dips into the band's back catalog. The accompanying DVD gives a flashy, glitzy face to the music, and the refreshing lack of lightning-fast camera editing helps boost it a   [ read more ]

Critics say that Radiohead is best, but Muse is equally passionate and mad when it comes to delivering a raw rock sound. The Hullabaloo Soundtrack arrived after only two albums -- 1999's Showbiz and 2001's indie smash Origin of Symmetry -- and it's an ambitious move for the band. Hullabaloo captures Muse live in concert at Le Zenith in Paris in October 2001 on disc two. Frontman Matthew Bellamy howls and halloos through classics like "Muscle Museum" and "Citizen Erased."    [ read more ]

Naysayers listen up. Teignmouth, England's Muse refuse to be the "next" Radiohead. Since forming in 1997, this alternative rock trio has continuously battled comparisons to the famed Oxford group while ambitiously creating a sound of their own. British fans have praised the group for years, despite Americans taking until Absolution to discover Muse and give them their props. Whether or not you championed the grand dramatics of Absolution, Muse is a solid band and {^Black Holes and Revel   [ read more ]

If you're going to pillage someone else's ideas, then go for broke. Because even if you find yourself crammed between the barriers of creative space, utterly at a loss for ideas, expression, or thought, you'd still have a self-respect buzzing in your ear like a mad angelic insect, putting down the newspaper and taking out a cigar to remind you that, hell, 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,   [ read more ]
