My oldest friend is the biggest contrarian I know. He insists that Muse are not ripping off Radiohead but improving upon Radiohead. Hmmm. Knights of Cydonia has been a guilty pleasure. But when 1001 suggested an entire Muse album it was a lot to ask. If I'm going to be listening to a West Country weirdo my choice is Robyn Hitchcock singing about creatures, not these dudes trafficking in Russell Brand type stuff and laying the groundwork for Imagine Dragons. Love sci-fi but in 2025 I would rather hear Thom Yorke talking about something truthful. Romeo and Juliet. Having your dreams crushed. Not secret monuments on Mars... The opening track was kind of cool although derivative. Track 2 was making me wish I was listening to the Pixies instead. As we got into track 3 I began to wonder why so much 21st century British rock music makes me feel like I am watching an ad for Argos. A corny vocal effect was unfortunately strike three for me. If I want authentic West Country weird I will be putting on "Jewels For Sophia" and not this...
