MiguelLSep 6, 2006Who can sound like Prince, Queen, Bowie, System of a Down, Radiohead, without loosing identity? ... MUSE

BabbleflaffAug 31, 2006Love the Album. One question annoys me though. Why the hell do they always get compared to Radiohead :| It's just annoying now.

rottencabbageAug 31, 2006Utter rubbish, like the rest of their catalogue. It's bombastic, pretentious, and completely uninspired (never mind Matthew Bellamy being amongst the nation's most asinine lyricists, with drivel vomiting forth from his Thom Yorke/Jeff Buckley-wannabe maw). Wait, that's how every Muse album sounds, isn't it?

DWitAug 20, 2006I love Absolution and Origin Of Symmetry but this album has crossed the line of grandiose and become lame. I still believe this is better than Showbiz but Muse can do better. I love the emotion that they evoke, even though it has become lame. That being said, this album isnt horrible and I still love Muse.

MattWAug 10, 2006Musically, Wow! Its just the best band in the world. Its not quite Origin, but itwould be unfair to expect it to be. 1 criticism, no Hysteria or Stockholm Syndrome equivalent apart from Assassin, which still isnt that similar. So what though eh!

lokiAug 1, 2006Not a bad album, but definately not their best. Self indulgent, but thats what we love about muse. Still a great album with one of the best endings (last 3 songs) in recent time.

TomMJul 31, 2006I was a little disappointed on the first listen, partly because the harmonics etc didn't seem as clever as previous albums (some of the melodies were slightly predictable). But it steadily grew on me to an addiction stretching to switching it onto 'repeat', and listening to the different components proved me wrong and made it apparent how much talent Muse have

S.S.MJul 26, 2006In a playlist divoted tpo pussy week poprock or retro rock without fututre to play in its grand to see mure carve it up again. The want to glam it up, it could be worse, the is still another stella Muse effort IMO.

Awards & Rankings

Entertaining and rabble-rousing, daft and deadly serious, it's a fantastic record, with almost limitless appeal.
-
Under The RadarBlack Holes and Revelations isn’t a perfect record but it’s a worthy addition to an already stellar catalog. [#14]
-
It shouldn't work, but Bellamy's mania is so convincingly realised that even the most avowed Muse refusenik may have to finally concede defeat.
