At times I prefer it to Absolution, for me those two albums are joint in my ranking, but have Origin, Black Holes and T2L above them with Showbiz bottom (Although I still think there are some cracking tracks on there).
What really ruined The Resistance was the production - I know they had this whole idea of if it was fun, let's do it - they did this on previous albums but when Leckie and Costey produced the albums with them they made the fun work and kept everything cohesive too. Live the tracks are beasting - Even Guiding Light was kind of enjoyable but admmitedly that tour wasn't great, it was brilliant seeing Cave and MK Ultra live but we all knew they were coming, even at Wembley Bliss, Citizen Erased MK Ultra were nice but had been played regularly enough recently, as with Take A Bow from the last tour and Ruled By Secrecy felt like the only real surprise.

The Resistance, my least favorite out of the 6 studio albums.

It's also my least favourite one, but I still love it...

Why does it need explanation?
People all have differing opinions. Some like it, some don't. Get over it. |

It's definitely my least favourite by a country mile but I can still find it enjoyable to listen to sometimes, I just need to be in the mood for it.

For me it's better than Showbiz, as a whole.

It's really hard for me to compare TR and Showbiz, simply because they're such hugely different albums. I usually place them at the bottom of my album rankings, but I can't for the life of me decide which one I actually like more.

They both came at different periods during the bands life (and not simply referring to age here).
One was when they were relatively 'free spirits' and didn't life ties. The other was a main-stream cop out where they made the best ballad of all-time. You decide which is which. |

It's not underrated, it contains some gems. But there are too many shits songs on it.
