Black Holes and Revelations
Muse

So tediously obvious, not the music per say (though it is) but that this is favoured by the music critics that make these type of lists. And yep it was nominated for whatever critic award in its year of release. Not the worst album ever, but pretensous;, band name, song titles, lyrics and music, cover the whole thing really - ie the usual critic bait and unoriginal. The odd bit ( which echoes bands gone before) because the rest is just boring up it's own arse. Again music is individual, just this does nothing for me. 2 star - not terrible but nothing to make me ever listen to it again.
