Muse - which is their best album?

[Michael Griffiths]

I just recently heard a Muse album in its entirety for the first time. It was Absolution. A great record. I haven't bought any of their albums yet. If you have heard ALL their albums, could you please tell me which is their best in your opinion? Thanks.

i think absolution is their best, just because it is amazing

the others are great too, get them as well

they are like my favorite band right now, they are awesome

Anything but 'Showbiz' is a good bet.

Critics all seem to rate 'Origin of Symmetry' as their best.

I really like Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry although they both took a bit of time to grow on me wheras Absolution I feel in love with straight away!

Their latest stuff is their best in my opinion!

 

[HelloAngel]

Chalk me up for Absolution as well - I am late on the Muse bandwagon.

 

[AcrobatMan]

i love the song hysteria

 

[celia]

i love the song hysteria

yeah it's probably my favourite Muse song

according a lot of comments and critics, absolution seems to be the best. it's one of the next ones to buy.
i only know showbiz and i think it's very good.

Absolution is brilliant - haven't heard the others in full but they'd have to be pretty special to beat it.

Just back from Paris where Muse headlined on Sat night - unbelievable - reminded me of the feelin I got when I saw U2 at Croke Park in 85 for the first time

along with U2 this band are gonna blow peoples minds over the next couple of years

Origin of Symmetry

although Absolution is a very close second....

If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. They put on a great show...

 

[AcrobatMan]

yeah it's probably my favourite Muse song

i like jumping up and down in my room if that song comes on music channel

 

[Judah]

The Bends is their best album!

Ok, ok...just kidding. I like Absolution the best also.

[HeartlandGirl]

Mofo, I'd like to come over to your place tonight to watch it. Hope you don't mind.

Muse rocks.

 

[Chizip]

oh youd rather watch it with mofo than me

i see how it is

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Thanks for the comments everyone.... Absolution it is!

 

[Azor]

Showbiz + Origin of Simmetry = Absolution

And between Showbiz and Origin I prefer the first one, it has great tracks.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Wow, two Muse threads on page 1.

 

[trevster2k]

They rocked Live 8 yesterday, I had never heard of them until then but I'm gonna but Absolution. I thought they were excellent.

 

[lmjhitman]

i agree with the general consensus in this thread:

origin of symmetry>absolution>>>>>showbiz

 

[burns]

i downloaded their show from the glastonbury festival and its one of the best shows ive seen

ive watched it like 100 times and it still gives me goosebumps

i was there!!!

i think i might have to download it sometime

thinking about it, stockholm syndrome changed my life

EDIT: Oh yeah absolution rocks my socks off!!!

 

[bollox]

i have nothing new to add, but i'm bumping this because muse kicks ass.

absolution is my favourite of their albums, origin of symmetry is rather good as well. showbiz is decent, it has a couple of good tunes, it's probably their most "radiohead-esque" album.

what songs did they play at live8?
