I agree with what was said about this as a classic. It could well have been, but it has no real flow or climax, and no key track, taking 0.5 off it and leaving stranded at 4.5 stars, which it really does deserve, being as fantastic as it is.

Its a good album, but really together as a whole is their worst since Showbiz. Invincible is just a crappy pop rock ballad designed for airplay, and Soldier's Poem is just plain boring. Enough of the poor, however, and onto the great. Supermassive Black Hole certainly moves in anew direction, but really is fantastic, and following up with Map Of The Problematique, not only the best song on the album, but one of their best full stop. City Of Delusion is also great and along with the fantastic Hoodoo, hints back at their earlier work. And to the epic finale, Knights Of Cydonia, which builds up to one of the best guitar riffs in history! So yeah, this sounds like a review now doesn't it, oh well.

To Mr. Thomas Bambaataa Ghidrah Towers, I'm sorry, but you don't really have clue do you. Absolution is certainly better than BHAR, even though with individual songs BHAR produced some of their best. Absolution is better as a whole, however and certainly does not sound like Radiohead, only Showbiz ever did sound like a poppier version of the Bends, and Muse have been getting unfair comparisons ever since. People seem to be forgetting that the guys were only like 20 when that was made, and is still better than Radiohead's debut Pablo Honey, which came from older more qualified men at that time. OOS is still better than Absolution though.

Good review, and you're certainly right with it being their best album, but I still disagree with some of what you said. Firstly, Bliss is a fantastic song! 3.5? More like 5! Secondly, Plug In Baby also needs 5. Thirdly, Darkshines needs 5 as well. I love that song so much! And finally, come on, Feeling Good really doesn't deserve a 4, I'll say a 3. Anyway, great review nonetheless, and you're right with the 5 stars.

This is an absolutely fantastic album that grows on me every time I listen to it. To all of you up there who gave it less than 5 stars you either haven't listened to it enough, or you are a philistine. One problem though, I think Electioneering is a fantastic, 5 star song, like an even better version of Just. And to wrakneelyo, please stop with the unfair comparisons to Muse. Muse are a fantastic band, my favourite along with Radiohead, even if I can't call them as great. If you listened to half of their music without that prejudice you'd realise that too, and how far they've moved away from the album that got them the "Radiohead tribute band" label, Showbiz.
