BobBobSep 15, 2009Excellent album. On par with Origin of Symmetry.

danilSep 15, 2009Their best work ever!! That's how a band is supposed to progress throuh their career. Ambition is the base of all progress, and I'm glad that they have the balls to prove they're ambitious and can get away with it. Matt Bellamy is a music genius.

TobyKSep 27, 2009Astoundingly creative, intelligent, subtle and in-your-face where needed. taking inspiration from the early muse albums such as Origin of Symmetry, Queen and Bach, this albums created for me a unique and extremely entertaining listening experience.

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

JoshDSep 15, 2009This album takes a few listens to realise it's true genius. A different but beautiful offering, that I think will stand the test of time and will be in my cd player in years to come.

AlexisC.Sep 15, 2009Great operistic progressive rock. No one compares to them, and having an identity right now it a feat in itself. Humbling the tunes now and then all day.

-
HajoK.Sep 15, 2009Awesome album, different yet satisfying, with MK ultra, unnatural selection and symphony part I&II as favorites.

RitaM.Sep 15, 2009They're breaking their own mold in an inescapably delicious way - Its by no means a perfect album, but its nevertheless as exciting as Muse has always been :D
-
-
MatthewS.Sep 15, 2009While a slight fall from grace (from their absolutely amazing 'Absolution' and 'Black Holes and Revelations'), this album is still better than 95% of what modern rock has to offer.

WasifH.Sep 16, 2009I really think Muse has made one of it's best albums yet.

CharlieM.Sep 16, 2009This album has all the trade-mark variety of Muse's past albums, demonstrating their ability to experiment and succeed in a number of genres whilst maintaining their distinctive sound. Despite this variety in sound, the album is cohesive and flowing. In short, Muse have excelled once more in (self)-producing a masterpiece which builds on and goes beyond their past work.

WimLSep 19, 2009Very good again, can imagine that they will be even more impressive in a live performance.

JordanASep 19, 2009Best album by Muse so far. Dare i say it best rock album of 2009!!!

JoshHSep 20, 2009A stunning album from Muse. Its one of those rare albums where you don't dislike any of the songs on the CD. Amazing lyrics are used, and the whole album is just full of great tunes, that give you that 'shiver down your spin' feel everytime you listen. My candidate for the album of the year.

-
MljacSep 21, 2009Fabulous fusion of music; from debussy to punk all-in-one
-
-
MaxJSep 23, 2009Spectacularly silly, yet in making it so Muse have created what I personally think is one of the best albums of the year.
-
-
AbeH.Sep 25, 2009A near perfect album. For myself it does everything so wonderfully that the disappointing moments pass by without hardly being noticed.
-
-
MrMSep 15, 2009The exogenesis symphony is the most ambitious thing Bellamy has ever attempted and it turned out very well. Clearly a solid collection of songs from the get go. Time will only tell how they stack up to Muse's back catalogue.
-
-
TonyTSep 15, 2009While there are some weakpoints on the album, mainly guiding light, this album is very solid with favorites being resistance, I belong to you, and exogenesis. It is a small movement away from the guitar with more focus on vocals (which are outstanding). Exogenesis is powerful.
-
-
MikeDSep 15, 2009I love this album. Even though it may not be quite as good as Muse's magnum opus "Origin of Symmetry," it is definitely up there if not for Exogenesis alone.
-
-
SteveTSep 15, 2009A really really solid album. Focused work, good all the way through, and exogenesis is really fantastic.
-
-
FletchOSep 15, 2009Album of the year by far! Muse take everything great about them (guitars, piano, harmony vocals,) and up it all by a factor of a million, whilst dumping all their muse-isms that made some of their tracks sound samey. This is the album where Muse find their voice. and boy is it a voice!

-
GeriWSep 15, 2009It's epic. Especially the Exogenesis Symphony.

SeanNSep 15, 2009A masterpiece.

Awards & Rankings

"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.
