[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I gave it 4.9/5 :confused:

That's nearly as good as it gets...[/QUOTE]
Exactly, should be a 5:p

this was my first MUSE album and i must say it´s my fav, don´t get me wrong the other ones are just as great but there´s something about this one that i can´t figure out exactly that makes me love it.
i absolutely dig sunburn, muscle museum and unintended.
Great review :thumb:

This album is really good. It's the only thing I've ever heard from them, but its just sooo good. I can't imagine Muse making anything that can beat Showbiz. But when I get a chance I will definitely check out one of their other albums.

amazing album, great review muse rule. Did you know that this album is all about muses hatred of their hometown of teignmouth? OoS is about robots taking over the world (?) and absolution is the end of the world. Weird huh? this albums meaning comes over in lyrics like (1000 houses burning down, no one is going to save this town) on falling down.

4.5/5

Album Rating: 3.0

Im Wondering if this is better than the cd absolution because its the only one i have by them and ive gotten really into . Is it worth the money??

Yeah it's better. IMO:

This = Absolution > Origin of Symmetry

Just bought this for $10! (That's like $8 US, about £4) Looking forward to giving it a good listen, Sunburn is pretty awesome.

Album Rating: 4.0

I absolutely LOVE this album and i'm going to review it myself sometime soon! Fillip, Muscle Museum and Cave are all amazing!

Just got this, finally, after having the other three albums forever. Favorite tracks so far are Sunburn, Cave and the title track.

Damn.



Muse are really, really overrated. I just can't enjoy them.

I think Muse are a love or hate band.

Album Rating: 4.0

Not one of our fav's. But anything by them is just great.Ya know?

No.

Muse is really in the middle for me. It seems to be really boring most of the time.

Album Rating: 4.0

Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Cave, and Showbiz are sooooo good. Muse never bores me and Matt Bellamy is fucking awesome.

Album Rating: 4.0

Considering they were rather young at the time & this was Muse’s debut album, ‘Showbiz’ is a mighty fine release. The way in which the trio is able to pull off the quiet/loud dynamics at times is akin to bands who have been plying their trade for a decade. Look no further than opener and highlight track ‘Sunburn’ which goes from mesmerizing piano to screeching guitar. ‘Muscle Museum’ adds an interestingly quirky eastern-european feel to the equation, while the patient build-up of the title track is very rewarding. There are a few missed steps here and there (‘Falling Down’ is pretty boring & the closer doesn’t do a great deal for me), but for the most part, ‘Showbiz’ is more than just an imaginative debut, it is a very good album in its own right. Recommended Tracks: Sunburn, Fillip, Showbiz & Muscle Museum.
