What are we doing here. What happened? I've heard Pressure before and nothing else. Not surprising as pretty much every other track is disappointing. Now, nothing here sounds bad. I actually "like" most songs here, but it's Muse. Compare this to Origin of Symmetry and this becomes awful.

I didn't know i was going to listen to a pop band album when listening to songs like Get Up and Fight. Sounds like it could be made on that Suno app.

These individual track scores of mine might be a bit high for some because of comparing them to the worst songs here.

All in all, I'm disappointed.

Edit: I was way too harsh, wow. None of these songs are spectacular, but its not bad

Edit 2: I was incredibly harsh before. These have grown on me insanely. Other than Get Up And Fight in the 60s, they all hover in the 70s except for Something Human and Pressure which are in the 80s
