Origin Of Symmetry - Muse Reviews

As I stated in my review of Showbiz, Muse are my absolute favourite band of all time. This is their second album, Origin of Symmetry. I was lucky enough to get hold of a day ticket to Reading Festival this year, and was able to watch Muse headlining. During their set, they performed this album in its entirety to mark its ten-year ...  Read the complete review

I heard Muse's first album 'Showbiz' when I was around 14 - they appeared on Top of the Pops playing 'Muscle Museum' and immediately made me sit up and pay attention - they were like no band I had heard before. I bought the album on the strength of this, along with a school friend telling me they were great. Showbiz is a very good debut ...  Read the complete review

Origin of Synmetry (2001) is simply the best album Muse have ever made in terms of sheer number of quality songs. this is from a band nearing the peak of their creative powers and letting loose with breathtaking result. Every track has a different style and makes for an album which is multi-layered. The stand out tracks on the album are ...  Read the complete review

By far one of Muse's best works. Although this album does not contain my favourite track, it contains the closest style of music to it. Every song on the album features some kind of memorable guitar riff and it is for those that I like the band. The masterpiece begins with New Born, with it's piano intro, (much like how ...  Read the complete review

Muse were propelled to fame with the release of Origin of Symmetry, their second studio album and a stunning effort that, in many eyes, established them as the new Pink Floyd, a progressive rock band with a heart and soul that made sonically pleasing and thematically complex music. It all begins with New Born, which was the ...  Read the complete review

Origin of symmetry is the second studio album of musical hitmakers MUSE! The Devon born artists recorded the album through a number of recording studios from tracking in abbey road studios (where previous music superstars the beatles had famously recorded of course!) to mastering the album in sonys mastering studio! The album was finally ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

So, this is the second studio album released from Muse, a trio originating in Devon. One of the few great British bands of this generation. I was drawn to listen to this album after hearing their 3rd album first, Absolution. Once again, Muse do not disappoint here. The album begins with the single New Born, which starts off ...  Read the complete review

They Evolve But Don't Revolve ==================== Muse are a band that has up to now passed me by, I've liked a number of their singles but have only skimmed through their Absolution album and thought it was ok but a little hit and miss. I'd read that Origin of Symmetry is their best work so I gave it a try. ...  Read the complete review

**THE BAND** Muse are a British rock trio from Devon, UK. They are very well known for their amazing dramatic anthems and unique live performances in which the usually pack out any stadium, arena or festival where they take to the stage. They formed way back in 1994 and have continuously progressed year by year musically, never ...  Read the complete review

From the very moment Matthew Bellamy hits the first piano note on 'new born' to the very last squeals of 'megolomania', there is not a moment where pure genious shines through. The album is a modern masterpiece, it really shows that there are musical geniuses among us. The three boys from Teignmouth show what they are truely ...  Read the complete review

Showbiz was dogged with Radiohead comparisons (and it's Radiohead comparisons above all other things that irritate me about music... Radiohead are good, but stop putting every band with a high pitched vocal and imaginative lyrics down to plaguerism), but was still a good album. Not much of it instantly stood out - even liveliest ...  Read the complete review

Muse RoCk!! - Advantages: New Born is Such A Class Song, All The Songs are amazing, It's the Sort of CD you can listen to Over and Over AGain, without getting bored! - Disadvantages: NOne, noNE, NONE!

Muse hit the rock scene in 99 with their first album "Showbiz". Their new album "Origin of Symmetry" is fresh and energetic and full of great tracks such as New Born, Plug in Baby, Bliss, Space Dementia and the haunting Microcuts. Muse push the boundaries of modern Rock music with screechy guitar riffs, ...  Read the complete review

The second outing from Muse whose first release 'Showbiz' was a huge hit for a new Indie band. Going on their previous success i was very much looking forward to album two this one!! Often compared to Radiohead which must frustrate them because it must seem to them that there always playing in someones shadow. ...  Read the complete review

'Origin Of Symmetry' is the second album from UK rockers Muse, and in my opinion, better than their debut album 'Showbiz'. Admittedly, I haven't always been Muse's biggest fan, and I hadn't even heard of Muse until a few months ago when I first heard them on my friend's mp3 player. But recently I ventured ...  Read the complete review

Muse - Origin Of Symmetry From that instantly recognizable piano motif of "New Born", Muse take you on a strange yet entirely enjoyable experience. Moving things on from the debut "Origin Of Symmetry" takes in whole continents, a plethora of styles, a rollercoaster of emotions and yet still remains as unique and ...  Read the complete review

This album really does kick. Not only does it have the well known new_born and plug in baby, it has songs like bliss and hyper-music. If u didnt already know, this album was recorded live without any remixing etc. And trust me, muse at v2001 was the best thing that you could possible see. All the songs on this album are brilliant and ...  Read the complete review

Before the off i'd like to state that although I love music but im probably the worst person at reviewing it, and in the immortal words of Morpheous from the film The Matrix. "Remember, all i'm offering is the truth, nothing more." Muse have made two albums, Showbiz being their first, and now ...  Read the complete review

It is time for the next album, in my continual review of my collection. Muse's latest offering to us, after their original "showbiz" which I never actually knew much about. "Origin of symetry" updates Muse's image to a more hard rock style, with bizzarely a mix of choirestral work from vocalist ...  Read the complete review
