Bellamy emphasizes the two most personal elements of his music on 'Origin of Symmetry': the guitar noise (feedback, fuzz, droning) and his hyper-emotional, quasi-operatic singing. Add the piano, that is rapidly becoming his favorite instrument, and the result is a curious blend of post-grunge cliches (best summarized in Citizen Erased) and timbric hallucination (Hyper Music). There are cool ideas in Plug in Baby, New Born, Space Dementia, Darkshines, but they tend to repeat themselves to death, and one suspects the (limited) technical skills of the trio are to blame for it."
I love Muse and as this was their first album I decided to purchase it out of loyalty for the band. Little did I know it was to become my favorite album! The songs are great, especially Sunburn, Muscle Museum, and Escape.
Fans of Radiohead, Ours and other alternative art bands should embrace this. I found it to be a very enjoyable listen and while not outstanding it is a very solid effort and continues to find it's way back into my CD player. 3 1/2 Stars.
