I would still consider myself a Muse fan, despite the abuse that brings, and half of The 2nd Law being shite.

The 2nd Law is 1/13th bad. It’s all wonderful apart from Liquid State, which does nothing and thus feels like it’s thrice as long as it really is.

Just checked and I like tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7. So just over half for me, and 4’s just an intro.

Really don’t like Chris singing. Ugh.

Scratch that, I quite like 13 too.

13’s quite underwhelming after 12. It’s not bad, but it just can’t compete.

I really like how the people who share Unsustainable as an example of how ridiculous they are are invariably the same people who claim they take themselves too seriously. I love it - it’s epic, ridiculous, hilarious, fun, and yet it makes an Important Point. Also, the robot.

The new Muse song is good.

Lots of Muse I like, but this is all a bit dull on first listen, as someone has said already somewhere up above.

Wumpy wumpy from Madness (the Muse song) + Queen-style vocal harmonies and guitars we’ve heard before.

Came here to post this :+1::grinning:

I’d buy Muse Pogs. They’d have a special Muse Slammer - or Kinis, I think they were called.

That front cover to The Resistance would look really nice on a Pog. Just saying.

Fuck it, I needed a self-inflicted design brief to busy myself.

Album art Pogs.

Do it.

Get yourself this Pog maker:

They could do with taking a ‘hiatus’ and making people miss them again rather than the headline-Reading-every-three-years neverending cycle they seem to be in right now.

Fairly dull. My main thought, though:

Have Muse really got so old their record company’s making sure they put attractive ladies in the videos now? Wow.
