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.

Feb 15, 2021don't get me wrong. im a great muse fan. but this just doesn't hit me as much as their older stuff. i feel like what was the essence of muse is vanishing over the years
-
Jan 21, 2021Overall, the charm of the album faded on me a bit over the past few years. However, I still find myself coming back to it more than Drones. It's doing something right, but its missing what was good about 2000s Muse/The 2nd Law for me.

Aug 3, 2020Just a breath of new fresh air in Muse's discography that expended even more in that eight album. Many great songs to be noticed like the very innovative Algorithm and the very musy Something Human and Thoughts Contagion.
-
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 ****

Nov 22, 2019Esperava mais desse álbum. O Muse não conseguiu entregar um resultado satisfatório, ficou perdido no meo de tanta influência dos anos 80. Algumas faixas são bizarras.

May 16, 2019The Most Unusual Álbum from de Band Of Teighnmouth, But Is that His accoolishment
be really different from themselves adopting Synth-Pop -
Feb 4, 2019Muse's foray into '80s retro-futurism, while at times uninspired and gaudy even by the band's standards, has resulted in their most palatable album this decade.
FAV TRACKS: PRESSURE, PROPAGANDA, BREAK IT TO ME, SOMETHING HUMAN
LEAST FAV TRACK: BLOCKADES -

Dec 22, 2018Sure, DIg Down and Something Human are **** but the fan criticism of this on Facebook is baffling. Not every song can be 8 minutes of falsetto with whammy bar solos. It sure lives up to expectations for me
-
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. -
Dec 17, 2018Muse is on fire, this album is the best since The Resistance. All the songs gave me Cyberpunk vibes.
-
Dec 17, 2018Technical mastery, creativity, soaring highs and savage depths. It's grungy, poppy, melodic, discordant, thunderous and smooth as honey-milk.

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.

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! -

Nov 13, 2018É um bom disco do Muse. Eles colocaram seus "exageros" na medida certa para que soem bem entre rock "pesado" e música pop. Pela capa do disco dá para perceber a influência forte dos anos 1980.

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 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 10, 2018A brilliant album where the band show boldness in some choices and also a measured approach, there is epic ness and funk as well as some real standouts. Algorithm, Break it to Me and Blockades are the highlights and even the lowlights are better than most other bands output!

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.

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.

Nov 9, 2018Such an amazing album. Muse have't been so creative in years.

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...
