Feeder and Lo-fi Radiohead = Good
Queen and Hans Zimmer Sountrack = Not so much.
Sometimes bands just disappear up their own arses which sadly seems to be the direction Muse are taking, kind of like what O2 did mid 90s.

Agreed on Muse, not so much on U2, I liked U2's weird phase, Zooropa and Pop are 2 of my favourite U2 albums. Far more interesting artistically than the bland delay pedalled up to the eyeballs stadium stuff.

Anyone who thinks all Muse songs sound the same hasn't listened to much of their stuff. They are continually pushing the envelop which pisses off some of their hardcore fans as much as their detractors. Fair play to them.
The new album arguably has too many influences and directions - its all over the place - but still uniquely quirky, epic, at times bombastic, at other times cheesy - but at all times still Muse.
..and as other have said, they stand up there as one of the great live acts of our generation - a claim I'd love to see them back up by coming to the Amex when they do a stadium tour next summer..

They're very talented musicians but I can't listen to them too often because I can't stand they way Matt Bellamy inhales half the worlds oxygen before each lyric. I realise its because he's classically trained or whatever but it becomes the only thing I can hear when they play and it bugs me.

That used to annoy me too but he seems to do it less now. And I'm not sure he's classically trained - in fact I'm pretty sure he's not and its not something anyone would encourage.

Muse are a strange one for me - I really, really like some of their songs (for example 'Uprising', 'Stockholm Syndrome' and 'Knights of Cydonia') but really dislike some others (for example 'Hysteria' and others which I haven't even learned the names of yet). It is this that has lead me never to buy one of their albums yet, although from what I've seen on TV and YouTube they seem to put on a good concert.
