I never said wailing and hitting high notes defines good singing, those are just two aspects of his vocals. If you don't like his singing voice, that is more objective, so I can understand that.



I was quite surprised that they performed on MTV. I hope with the new album and in the future that they don't become more a part of the mainstream in the US and change their sound so the pre-teens like it.

Like a shitty bargin bin version of Thom Yorke who decides to hold every single fucking note for a minute and a half.

Album Rating: 2.5

the only places that matter are the ones where Muse is mainstream

The US doesn't matter?

Muse is so underground in the US really?

Can Muse fill stadiums in the U.S. like they do in Britain and Australia?

I'm not saying they don't have a US following, but I will say they're not exactly a "mainstream" band there just yet. That may change with this record, I'm not sure.

Didn't muse just make their tv debut in the states?

That's actually probably right.

I HATED how they were playing starlight yesterday and mtv showed it for like 4 seconds between commercials

yeah muse isn't mainstream in the states per se, but i think it's accurate to say that they have a strooonng fanbase over there. i watched the concert they did and people knew all the words and shit

Album Rating: 2.5

OK, but anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of popular rock music would know Muse, that they haven't been institutionalized is besides the point. Hence, almost as mainstream as it gets.

yeah they're by no means underground thats for sure

Open for discussion: do you guys think this record will make or break Muse in terms of becoming a bigger act in the States?

dont it...not a big synth pop following here in the states that i am aware of

but undisclosed could probably get some good airplay on the radio

I dunno, depends whether or not people see the flamboyance of this record as a good thing. I don't find it as accessible as Absolution or Origin of Symmetry but then again i'm not a huge muse fan

Album Rating: 2.5

It certainly won't break them, but it might depend on the single choices. Uprising is pop enough, and I swear if someone remixes Undisclosed Desires it could be huge.
