Album Rating: 3.0

It's generic and forgettable. The first handful of songs are enjoyable enough but from propaganda on it trips and pretty much never recovers.

The new album shits all over this AND The 2nd Law.

At least someone speaks the truth around here.

'It's generic and forgettable. The first handful of songs are enjoyable enough but from propaganda on it trips and pretty much never recovers.'

Propaganda is hilarious, in fact that section of the album including Break it to Me & Something Human sounds like a joke. Weirdly the album is actually ok-ish until that point.

Where's the new review anyway? I thought this would be one of those staff reviews that was submitted before (or on) the day of release.

Album Rating: 2.0

I might check it out just to see if its "in fact" any better than this one...

Album Rating: 2.0

Spoiler alert: it's not... closer to 'The 2nd Law' (which I gave a hard 1.0 by the way).

Album Rating: 2.0

Well...I dont know how or like to discuss if something is a 2 or 1.5. My trend with muse was lowering the rating chronologically as the disappointment increased (considering origin is a 5)

Album Rating: 2.0

There's an issue with the rating system not allowing 0.5s honestly, to avoid the dreaded 1/5 rating (which the fanboys will complain about) a release needs to surpass 2.4/10 which is 1.2/5 (rounded down to 1/5).



When you write it down in that way the score doesn't seem so drastically low, but yet it would still get a 1/5.

Album Rating: 2.0

My issue with the rating system is not mathematical but conceptual (I don't rate low too often). It bugs me that the 5 means "classic", but classic doesn't allways mean its better than superb or excellent. Its all right with values below 5.

Album Rating: 2.0

classic is a poor description, it should say 'outstanding' or something. I just ignore the 5/5 criteria, as do most people I imagine.
