Muse

--- Quote from: Durin on 18 Jan 2011, 11:42 ---People hate on Muse because they're pretty popular and that will bring out people to hate on them. For example, a lot of people hate Justin Bieber. It's really the same reasoning.

Yeah I've always figured this was the case here in the UK anyway. They're one of those distinctly-above-average, nothing-special-but-quite-good bands who mysteriously get terrifyingly huge, meaning people who don't like them and wouldn't have listened to them normally are exposed to them. Leads to fear, hate, the dark side etc.

They're like a punk band in that aspect, but not good.

muse is like radiohead, but designed for profit.

Matt Bellamy is one of the most scarily talented musicians to be in a popular, mainstream successful band of today. Unfortunately, since the success of Black Holes and Revelations, he has shamelessly squandered that talent with some incredibly misjudged and increasingly poor songs (I belong to you, Guiding Light spring to mind) and it's a real shame, go back to Origin of Symmetry or Absolution and that talent is very much obvious.
And also, as has been mentioned already, The Resistance is shit. The whole concept doesn't hang together, one moment he's inciting Teddy Bear revolution, the next he's clumsily referencing 1984, then he's singing in French in one of my all time least favourite songs (twice as disappointing from previously one of my favourite bands) and finally he rips off Beethoven etc. It's pretentious and indulgent in ways that only the worst prog rock ever was.
@Sean; Musically, Radiohead comparisons ceased being valid about 7 years ago. =P

I liked Muse a lot when I was a sophomore in high school.
Not so much now.
