Nov 15, 2018Gotta love MUSE. One of the best bands of all time.
They are allowed to experiment with their sound, takes big brass balls to do that.
They make albums that sound amazing at their live shows.
Big respect! Go MUSE! -

May 16, 2019The Most Unusual Álbum from de Band Of Teighnmouth, But Is that His accoolishment
be really different from themselves adopting Synth-Pop -
Nov 9, 2018Such an amazing album. Muse have't been so creative in years.
I coud write an essay on how good this album is, but who cares, I'm off to listening again. -
Nov 9, 2018Their most creative, fresh and entertaining release in a while. Simulation Theory its a good continue point, proving that Muse know how to reinvent themselves every time they need.

Nov 9, 2018This one is both a masterpiece and motivational as such, brilliant in every way!
-
Nov 12, 2018Muse have deconstructed their music career step by step.. Big pity. From the 4th album they drive until the worst commercial band in the world.. This album is a new proof.
-
Nov 9, 2018The best Muse album since OoS. Melodies, arrangements, and Matt's voice - oh my god, that "war with your creator" thing gave me goosebumps. Perfect. Just perfect.
-
Dec 17, 2018Muse is on fire, this album is the best since The Resistance. All the songs gave me Cyberpunk vibes.
-
Nov 9, 2018Amazing album. Muse always change it up. Never boring always pushing creativity. They don't regurgitate the same old stuff. Bellamy's vocals on the opening track are phenomenal.

Jun 4, 2020Terrible sounds exactly like the last three previous records. It sounds like I am listening to the same record I listened to five years ago. Every song sounds almost identical to some other song they wrote on a previous album. Come one guys, you are way better than this ****

Dec 21, 2018Lol, more **** from Muse. Embarrassing, more than they are usually embarrassing, now their gimmick is they're ridiculous on purpose. Try to cash in on Stranger Things & Sci-fi, but they kinda forgot the music. Ah, well, nothing new, then.
This is really gross. -
Nov 10, 2018The synth-themed instrumentals are a nice shake up for Muse, but the vocals are pretty typical Muse and a lot of the songs on this album sound like so many of their other hits.
-
Nov 23, 2018Big fan of the Music but I usually see them as pioneers in their sound and originality. The 80s themed releases have been a thing for years now. I don't know if people are getting tired of it but it just doesn't feel innovative at this point. Also, Kavinsky wants his album back.

Aug 31, 2022This album feels weak. I like retro 80s feel but come on most of the songs are forgettable. I like Algorithm, Pressure and The Dark Side but that is it. Break it to me sounds like a bad RATM song. Something human, thought contagion and stand up and fight sounds bland. Dig Down sounds like a bad gospel song. I think this worst album Muse ever did.
-
Dec 17, 2018Technical mastery, creativity, soaring highs and savage depths. It's grungy, poppy, melodic, discordant, thunderous and smooth as honey-milk.

Nov 15, 2018This is a band that has given up on trying to look cool to most anyone, so Muse do here what they have always done and likely will always do—throw money at their latest fancy with the indiscriminate, earnest taste of a teenage boy. ... If there’s anything Muse truly nail here, it’s at last embracing just the right amount of camp.
-
Nov 14, 2018There’s obviously still an audience for Muse, given by the size of the venues they still sell out, and this will definitely please the die-hards, but most of Simulation Theory simply fizzles out without leaving much of an impression.

Nov 12, 2018It is like Prince meets The Allman Brothers Band, on an approximate dosage of 40–50ug of acid. ... And that makes it a certified...
