Showbiz was the first major offering from the prodigal sons of Cornwall. Matt, Dom and Chris strike a chord with a few alt fans, (and me) and show a lot of folk just exactly how it should be done. However, many ignorant ppl dubbed muse the 'bastard sons of radiohead' after this album. Goodness knows why, as I can only see influence, not downright copying. And the only cover they've done is Feeling good. Which is absoloutely fantastic if you ask me....

Showbiz is a mix of old and new sounds with a wurlitser or two thrown in for good measure. It's not as bold or adventurous as OOS, but this is when they were mere boys in the midst of the fickle music industry.

Songs to look out for are 'Sunburn','Muscle Museum' and 'Unintended' because this is one of the rare times you'll hear them go all soppy on you. Well, they were only young...

Also look out for 'Cave'

5/5
