Showbiz is underrated as fuck. Probably their 3rd best album.

Their best songs are New Born, Stockholm Syndrome, Butterflies & Hurricanes & Citizen Erased I reckon. Other decent ones include Hysteria, Space Dementia, City of Delusion, Map of the Probmematique etc. Nothing I can remember actually stands out from Showbiz but it’s solid enough.

Sunburn, the title track man. I also like Unintended very much. It's so innocent

Showbiz t/t was one of my favourites, along with Unintended actually, not sure nowadays but they had worn off considerably.



Their best body of work is Origin up to & inc. Citized Erased, it gets a bit sketchy after that song but up till that point it’s rock solid.

The first half of Origin is easily their best shit, but Black Holes is still my favorite album overall.

Sing For Absolution is a beaut. Maybe I'll do this song in music school some time in the future

Best Muse.



That said, I think their drop off was pretty gradual. Started strong with Showbiz, jumped to incredible levels with OOS and this, dipped a bit with BH&R(though I still love it), dipped slightly more with The Resistance, and then just dove into trash after that.

Same. I just listened to this for the first time since I grew out of Muse (as we all do) at, like, 16. And, I mean, I liked it way better than I expected I would, but still nowhere near the classic I thought it was when I was a kid.
