I always expected Muse to be better than this, hoping that they would snap out of it and release an album worth something.
But it seems all those stating that Muse were sheep wearing Radiohead coats, were right after all. And much like Coldplay their true nature exposed when they chased after the next big trend in sound, perhaps in the future this brand of pop will make Muse "great" and foward-thinking once more, only reason I can imagine that bands continually walk into this sound incinerator that has destroyed some of the most endearing of bands in the early 2000's (Muse, Coldplay, 30STM, The Killers, KOL, LP).
Just such a shame, but cool to see some people enjoying this!
