BonyByronOct 30, 2009Apart from some facepalm-worthy lyrics here and there, this album is a masterpiece. Be it the stadium shaking "Resistance" and "Uprising", the operatic "United States of eurasia", the AMAZING symphony Muse had the balls to include and the GENIUS to compose. Gives me shivers and I can't stop listenning to this album. Bravo Muse, you're a bunch of geniuses.

LuisC.Sep 15, 2009A true odyssey in all kinds of music...with a "grande finale" (Exogenisis). Truly epic.

YourMomSep 23, 2009Excellent album. I would rate it along with their best work. Exogenesis is truly great. Enjoy.

AdamP.Sep 15, 2009It is amazing...mixes sounds of OoS and Black holes.

GeorgeR.Sep 15, 2009A fantastic album, certainly not the commercial album that Black Holes was, as such if you're only a fan of that album then you will not have the same appreciation for The Resistance. There's a few songs with single potential on the album but it was more of the band playing what they wanted to I feel, and I love it.

SteveP.Sep 16, 2009Really disappointing. I've loved/liked all of Muse's albums so far, but this just did nothing for me. Regardless of style & ambition, there just weren't the songs to get me listening back again.

nickp.Sep 17, 2009Their best album yet. It seems too short, though.

-
DaveSep 17, 2009A while since I played a CD twice in a row, but I needed more! It sounds good straight out of the box, but hopefully I won't tire of it too soon!

EthanBSep 22, 2009One of their better works, right alongside with Absolution and Origin of Symmetry.

RtArLSep 20, 2009A great piece of music . Mix of rock, symphony and electrica. The end results is epic. Like The Times wrote" Muse have made an album of genius, brilliance and beauty".

JuanLSep 24, 2009It will be utterly enjoyed by fans, although it could be a bit offputting for those who have never tasted MUSE before.

-
EvilSep 20, 2009It was apparent Muse would never release another album of "Origin of Symmetry" calibre when "Black Holes and Revelations" came out, but I had no idea they could sink THIS low.
-
-
MarkB.Sep 30, 2009Very different - some of it I like, a couple of songs I am yet to get, but Exogenesis has blown me away - truly beautiful.

PasciiH.Jan 19, 2010Ok, i have to admit, i never heard of this band before. but then i heard uprising on MTV and it sounded interesting. i never buy any Cd's but i thought i will give this band a try, and i don't regret it. This album is amazing, not only the track uprising but all the other songs like united states of eurasia:) they are amazing.

-
PDTSJan 24, 2010Only the three first songs is worth listening to.
-
-
JazzUpJan 26, 2010It's not that the quality is bad, but it's that the sound seems to be much eletronic. It's just I don't like only this album, but they're still my fav band.

JakeTOct 12, 2009I think muse has created a fantastic album, filled with a slightly heavier prog sound, but a great album nonetheless.

-
DylanD.Nov 3, 2009Excellent album from start to finish, Muse comes through again.
-
-
JTNov 9, 2009I wanted to like this album, but alas, there isn't one song on here that is even remotely as good as their back catalog. It seems more like a collection of mediocre B-Sides than a proper album. An excellent example of a band trying too hard to say something that isn't really poignant to begin with.

"Black Holes and Revelations" may be a more commercial record, but The Resistance is Muse's most realized effort to date.
-
As it stands it’s an indulgent and, at times, gorgeous listen that merely helps restate your concrete opinions about Muse.
-
While not their best, it’s decent enough to ensure there’ll be more-- even though the truly off-the-wall moments are either rare or misguided, meaning the record feels slightly anonymous.
