I think my life had just begun!
As OOS fascinated me, I always felt closer to Absolution, where Muse found its core, signature sound. The album is poignant, deeply dramatic with an axtra ochestral touch, theatrical, heavy, nostalgic, reflective, and ask core questions about the universe, the state of it and our place in it. The imminent doom and helplessness deeply resonated with teenage me and thus started my metalhead years. Yes, this album is what got me into metal.
