Uninspired “arena rock” slop that just kind of exists to be a guitar album because apparently those don't exist anymore. Is kind of hypocritical when you look at the band’s previous two albums. Van Weezer at home.

I have a lot of nostalgia for this album. I can admit there are a few tracks on this album that feel like they are rehashing ideas that were done much better in the first four tracks. But the vibe is fun and enjoyably unserious throughout, so even when it feels repetitive it’s never boring.

I don’t know anything about Megaman but this album is great. This is a concept album that takes the concept part seriously, you sort of have to own a physical copy with the lyric booklet to actually understand what’s going on (or just read the lyrics online but the booklet is really well made so you’re missing out that way)

What the hell happened to this band

Innovative for the time, maybe a little silly sounding now and certainly not Jarre's best work, but nonetheless a very interesting electronic album.

Unquestionably one of the greatest to ever do it

The sequel to Empty Servers which I have been asking for for about 4 years

This is a good album cursed to forever live in the shadow of an album which I consider to be vastly superior.

I think this is an almost flawless album start to finish and I'm sure the entire world would agree with me if they swapped Change Your Mind for Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll.

A magnificent indie pop album from start to finish. Dallon Weekes is a great lyricist yeah but everyone says that, they don't talk about how his basslines are catchy and fun and sick and cool and he was totally wasted on Brendon Urie Aurghhhhh.....
The conceptual element ("the lore") is interesting and while I fully understand why it's been set aside now I can't help but miss it, I do feel like it helped add an extra layer of cohesion to this album which is noticeably ... read more

This song is actually pretty good. Lyrically it's a step back towards the light for Muse, ESPECIALLY in comparison to a lot of the writing on Will of the People. The djenty breakdown in the middle of the song is a bit short to really do anything interesting and it does kind of scream "we are trying to copy modern metal trends because this is a song we wrote to fit in" but I don't expect Muse to fill an album with songs like that so I can live with it.

I love my computer too!

As good as if not marginally better than Octavarium. Great riffs, plenty of weird shit as expected from a prog band. They should let Portnoy rap again.

A fitting concept for these guys executed *almost* perfectly in a diverse range of styles as the band was known for at the time (it is hard to imagine this given their last 15 years of output (ignoring The Astonishing, which I think is where a lot of the variation went) )

Feels like they've picked up where they left off with Black Clouds and Silver Linings. Album's so good it makes me forget that "The Shadow Man Incident" is a really funny song title

If one good thing comes out of PRESIDENT it will be more people listening to this album

My father-in-law is a musician. He is insanely gifted. We were listening to Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to make it today. I will never forget his answer… "We can’t, we don’t know how to do it."

I need Dan Haigh to lock Charlie Simpson in his basement and force him to watch Evangelion again I can't go on like this anymore

i genuinely don't understand why the band hates this album so much. vibes are immaculate.

beautiful vocals from tom chaplin, a mere glimpse into tim rice-oxley's plans for his CP-70. definitely feels like an album following in the footsteps of OK Computer and also Coldplay's first two albums but their anti-guitar attitude definitely helps it stand out.
