My first post ever here on SH so sorry if I did something wrong

Muse is a three-man progressive rock band from Britain. They're widely popular in Europe, and they're also gaining a following here in Asia (mostly due to their songs being featured on Twilight - no comment hahaha). Their trademark is Matthew Bellamy's (Singer/Guitarist) insane falsettos and creative guitar work (and not to forget insane live guitar solo improvs), Chris' (bassist) distorted solid bass lines and Dom's (drummers) intense drum arrangements. They also use synthesizers in their gigs/concerts, and lots and lots of effects, from a modified Kaoss pad in Matt's guitar to vocoders.

Anyway, enough technical talk. They have no "solid" genre designation, they tend to experiment much with their music. From the System of a Down inspired song "Stockholm Syndrome" to the anthem "Starlight", they are very versatile. Some songs you'll find interesting, for first time listeners, are Supermassive Black Hole, Starlight, The Resistance, Hysteria, Bliss, Map of the Problematique, The Resistance.

And yeah, they are considered as one of the best live bands in the world :D Next to SCANDAL, this must be my second favorite. Give 'em a try, you might just like them

Any Muse fans here?

One here!! Hysteria being my fave. I was a little obssesed with the bassline before. xD

i loooveee muse :D

i like all song but new born and uprising are my fave songs XD

@mikan - i love that bassline as well :D
@ayaju - new born! insane live solos

Hey, a Muse topic. I have to answer.

I really love their 3 first albums (I don't count Hullabaloo, it's just a complitation of some -good- B-faces and a live), like Black hole an revelations and Resistance... My ears make resistance to it. I'd like they'll come back to their beginning style but I don't think they'll do.

As spaceranger said, it's a amazing band in live. I saw them in a festival and it was just crazy. I lost my glasses during the second song (new born) xD.

Huh, this topic was inactive for a long time...anyway Muse fan here ><
Hope there's more of us and they only couldn't find this topic : )

I adore them because every their album is unique and Matt Bellamy is genius songwriter and pianist and guitarist. I've been really addicted to them since 2012.

I believe Muse's music classifies as progressive rock. I highly recommend their 2001 album The Origin of Symmetry.

I love Muse since I was in 7th grader (The Resistance-era 2009), their sound in that album is so rich, and then I found Origin of Symmetry, it had prog-rock music in it. They blew me away with their sound.
