I couldn't have been all too surprised, since I didn't come away wanting to hear any more, but surprised nonetheless. Surprised more along the lines of, wow, this meal I made actually tastes good. No, I can't say that. I'd then be admitting the band is good. Hmm... Okay, the meal I made is edible. There, that works.

2. Talk about how I didn't like those "twits" very much because of the Celine Dion thing. Her music still takes my breath away even when just typing her name.

3. Explain that I've only heard one song of theirs and probably only know about their one album, "The Resistance". That is their only album, right? They've been around since '94? What? It's amazing they've only been able to put together one album in 12 years. ::checks calculator:: Oh, I guess that'd be 16 years.

4. I won't admit I was wrong about the band, but will just state that they rocked. I won't use any details, give too much imagery. I'll just state they rocked. Good enough.

5. I'll then compare them to bands. But, while I list off the names of: Queen, Radiohead and Rush, I'll then make it known that I heard more of U2 last night than the three other bands I mentioned. In fact, Bellamy's voice reminds me a lot of Bono's. I could really see Bono singing that symphony song, whatever it's called and playing that song toward the end, Stockholm, Sweden, or whatever it was called.

6. I'll close the piece by talking about how not everything Muse did was great. I have to prove that I was partially right about the band, having only heard one song of theirs prior to the show. I can't tell my readers that I'm a complete idiot, even though, if they read my writing, they'd probably get that very impression.

7. I'll write one sentence, the closer, about how the band wore Ohio State football jerseys for the final song. That's a nice closer. Anything having to do with the Buckeyes is a nice closer. Alright. Done. Masterpiece.

too much effort into. one. post.

This person probably isn't a regular music reviewer. He doesn't seem to know much about music, for a start.
I've reviewed restaurants, plays, films, books etc and I'm no expert on any of those subjects.

That was probably his first concert, let alone his first Muse one!

Cheesy is the word. As a decades long fan of U2, I don't see any similarity. Matt hits the notes for which he aims and Bono misses many of them. It;s sad to see a reviewer so out of touch.

Actually, I think he reviewed a Hanson concert one time, but that's the only other review I've read from the guy.

I had absolutely no clue what keytar was until it was used in Undisclosed Desires, it's fair enough that the writer explains what it is. This review was not written for this board, after all.

Yeah, it's not the best review, but I don't think it deserves the amount of eye-rolling it seems to get here.

Oh and at the "review" too.

Aw, bless, it's like reading a kid's review of Disneyland 'And then the three shiny men came on and then they played their instruments and it sounded really cool, and then they went up on the platform and then they came down and magic eyes came out '.

I love that Morgan's akin to a UFO now, too - 'unidentified (hidden) keyboardist'
