Muse is an English rock band who formed in Devon. They went to university together and were originally a glam rock band. After playing at a battle of the bands they smashed up their instruments and they were named the winners it was then that they realised that they were actually good. They changed their name from Rocket Baby Dolls to Muse, quit their university and their jobs and moved away from Teignmouth. After being signed they debuted with their album Showbiz which was a great success and got rave reviews this is their second album.

(1) New Born, it starts off with a mesmerising piano part, Matt's vocals come in and compliment the piano greatly. The song then changes rapidly roaring into an awesome guitar riff, all the instruments are roaring at this stage. A great song, a fan favourite.

(2) Bliss, another fan favourite and definitely one of my favourite Muse songs. I love the spacey keyboard intro. Both keyboard riff repeats itself whilst Matt sings and plays guitar. The drums work great in this song.

(5) Plug in Baby; I must say that as a guitarist the main riff to this song is one of the best ever and really fun to play. This is a really great song to rock out to. The lyrics are great. When they play this live it always gets the crowd going.

(9) Dark Shines, I love the intro to this song, its hard not to snap your fingers to the beat. This is another song that starts quietly and then roars to life.

(10) Feeling Good, this is actually a cover of an old song by another artist. Muse definitely put their own stamp on it especially with the bridge part where Matt sings into a megaphone that distorts his voice. A great song and one of the best cover songs ever.

So that's my favourite songs off this album, all the other songs are great as well. This is seen to be Muse's best album by many people and I think that this is probably the case, it has great singles and all the songs work really well together.

Summary: Great album from Muse
