I disagree. Undisclosed Desires is an incredible track. Its sounds like they are experimenting with sounds, possibly where their music is going. The back up vocals caught me off guard and it was a little hard to get used to in some of their songs. You're right in saying that there is some sound from Queen, less influence though its only noticeable in one song. I love this album and it is a far cry from Black Holes and Revelations, but its well worth a listen maybe even purchase.

4/5

I'm undecided if this album is their best or second best, below Absolution. Musically, the album is outstanding, with Exogenesis being one of the finest album closers ever. I think many Muse fans have found their style developing further and further away from Origin of Symmetry (what most old-school Muse fans consider their best album), with less purely guitar-driven songs, and more classical and 80's synth influences. In my opinion, it is quite hard to compare this album with the others, just as it is difficult to compare Absolution with Origin, as each album captures the band at the time it was released.

I felt this album was just full of missed oportunities. It sounds like their just experimenting, and even though I'm usually all for a band trying new things, here it seems that it takes a toll on the songs. A lot of the songs I feel are good but don't exactly reach their full potential. For instance, the symphonies. They are all very well written, BUT each one feels to end too soon and seem to be underdeveloped.The album is good but I expected a bigger more grandiose sound. Maybe it's because United States of Eurasia was the first song I heard off the album, but I just expected more.

I really liked the CD, Muse is one of my favorite modern bands. It really reminded me why I love Muse so much, my favorite track is Unnatural Selection.

I think rappers can be fantastic writers. It is just unfortunitly all the rap tracks that get a lot of play have horrible lyrics but I mean it is the same thing with rock and pop too. A lot of the rock songs on the radio have horrible lyrics (look at any nickleback song) because to get radio play you have to have a good tune not good words
