Agreed but everyone is entitled for their opinion...but still I don't think BHaR flows nicely.....of all Muse albums only Origin of S. flows good IMHO...Thats why it's always better to watch Muse live gigs - they on the other hand flow absolutely great...

Best one: Origin of Symmetry by far
Worst one: The resistance is just bad, I didnt like exogenesis, the resistance and uprising.

Wow, I havent posted on this forum for a long time.

Origin of Symmetry!

All albuns are great, but OoS is special. I love every damn track of the album, it's perfect. The album of my life!

Origin of Symmetry

Black Holes & Revelations / Absolution
Showbiz
The Resistance

I put The Resistence in last but I still think it's an awsome album: USE, UN, MK and mainly Exo's, that are all 3 master pieces, are all great tracks.

ORIGIN!!, then BH&R (and i notice hardly anyone feels that way), Absolution, Resistance and then Showbiz. Showbiz seems so disjointed to me, and there are actually a few songs that I hardly listen to.

3. Showbiz, simply great album

5. Black Holes & Revelations
6. The Resistance

I agree soooo much!!!! I always like to have Hullabaloo and OOS at the top. They just left the level of ambition and complexity found here. I also keep Abso and Blakey together (although I prefer Abso...). I found the Resistance to be weak. No appeal as an album. Certainly lacks the integrity found in all other albums (even Blackey). I just like United States of Eurasia, MK Ultra, and Exogenesis...

1. Absolution — Completely enthralling from start to finish. Okay fine, there's one minor hiccup in the form of "The Small Print", but other than that, this is definitely my favorite album of Muse. Notable tracks: Stockholm Syndrome, Falling Away with You, Hysteria, Sing for Absolution, Apocalypse Please, Butterflies & Hurricanes

2. Origin of Symmetry — An absolutely brilliant sophomore attempt. A definite, undeniable improvement over the first. Notable tracks: Plug In Baby, Space Dementia, Micro Cuts, Megalomania, New Born

3. Black Holes & Revelations — A decent continuation after Muse's epic win, has a fair share of amazing songs, but weighed down by some mediocre tracks. Notable tracks: Supermassive Black Hole, Starlight, Invincible, Take a Bow, Knights of Cydonia

4. The Resistance — Very Queen-inspired, and has a few powerful songs, but overall somewhat lacking in greatness. Brave attempt of Muse to attempt instrumental-heavy tracks, but heavy on merely mediocre songs. Notable tracks: I Belong to You + Mon Cœur S'ouvre À Ta Voix, Exogenesis: Symphony, United States of Eurasia

5. Showbiz — A good start for the band. Has a few really awesome tracks of high repeatability rate. Notable tracks: Uno, Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Showbiz

You call Black Holes & Revelations 'Blackey'?

...okay.

Why so much hate for resistance?

Your rank of it is technically lower than the poll result.

1) absolution
2) BH&R
3) the resistance/OOS
4) showbiz

Hoping T2L over takes BH&R in 2nd place

[DifferentPerson]

Absolution, because I'm listening to it right now
If I was listening to OoS I think I would have voted for it

[sade]

For me it's a coin flip between Absolution and BH&R. Voted for Absolution, though. No Muse album is perfect though, there is always filler to trim and production to improve.

Album Ranking and 3 tracks to download:


1. Absolution: 5/5 ----- Pretty much a perfect album. There's not one song I skip. (Download: Stockholm Syndrome, Blackout, Hysteria)

2. Origin of Symmetry: 5/5 ------Another album that is virtually perfect. The only song I sometimes skip is Screenager. (Download: New Born, Citizen Erased, Plug In Baby)

3. The Resistance: 5/5 ------ I've never understood why this album gets such a bad rap from the "muser" community. Exogenesis is a masterpiece, Resistance is one of the bands best songs, Uprising is a rousing song to play live, Unnatural selection is 7 minutes of pure awesomeness, MK Ultra rocks my socks off every time I listen to it and although its kind of 80's cheese I've always LOVED Guiding Light. Come on folks!!! (Download: Exogenesis Parts 1, 2, 3, Resistance, Unnatural Selection)

4. Black Holes and Revelations: 4.5/5 ---- The only thing that keeps me from giving this a 5 is that Soldier's Poem and Exo-politics are kind of meh for me. Some of there best songs are on BH&R though. (Download: Knights of Cydonia, Starlight, Map of the Problematique)

5. Showbiz: 3.5/5 ------ Great first album, it just can't stand up to their later work. (Download: Sunburn, Cave, Unintended)

Pretty darn good catalogue overall. It will be interesting to see where The 2nd Law fits in. I love Madness and Survival but i'm not too keen on Unsustainable. So far 4/5 for me based off just 3 songs (4 if you include Prelude).
