Radiohead. I find Muse to be...boring. They load a lot of stuff in their songs, but very little of it is exciting or new or experimental in any way. They have a few decent songs (when they don't spam the keyboard scales) but for the most part they are not entertaining to me. They also have no concept of how to make an album. I was listening to BHAR and was absolutely disgusted by the lack of flow. It jumped from Starlight, a pretty good inspiring and uplifting song, to the title track, a Prince/Aphex Twin-sex mashup. What the hell, Muse?

You lost me there. I actually think their album are put together really expertly. I don't get what you're saying about Starlight either.
It jumps from Starlight to Super Massive Black Hole. (not the title track, oops) Those two songs just don't go together one after each other. Its far too jarring, and not the only time that happens.

I understand you now. That title track thing threw me off, but I got what you were saying like five seconds after I posted. :P
I agree that's an alarming transition that should have been handled differently, but otherwise I'd say the arrangement is flawless. I love how it's broken up with little songs like Solider's Poem and then long, gradually building Invincable, and finally the deadly-sounding Assasin. And then everything gets all southern souding and you barely even notice the transition. I love that. :)

pshh you complain about that and you love Kid A. the most non flowing album I've ever heard in my entire life Wat? That's not true at all. The subtle shift in mood from "Optimistic"(obvious) to "In Limbo" (kind of inbetween) and Idioteque (as depressing a song can be) is brilliant. Opinions, again, I suppose. Don't you not like albums anyway though, BT?

[QUOTE="Neon-Tiger"][QUOTE="lobodob"] No doubt, that's Muse at their best. Well, so far. ;) [QUOTE="Bauers-Twin"][QUOTE="Neon-Tiger"][QUOTE="Bauers-Twin"] I love some albums. I love Radiohead's albums, In Rainbows, Ok Computer, the Bends, and Hail to the Thief mostly.sxdx89

Radiohead for me. I love Muse's early work (Showbiz and Origin) but their new stuff doesn't do anything for me. I especially dislike the cliche conspiracy direction they've gone lyrically. As for Radiohead I love the majority of their work and I think they're a lot more experimental when compared to Muse. They've done jazzy songs, Thom has even rapped and beatboxed. They just keep evolving.
[QUOTE="KLAX42"] Jonny is even more of a genius, actually. But they're all amazing. Though that is because Jonny is the only one out of the group that's been cIassically trained. But Thom is still great as well.
