Ok, so this is my first re-appearance on this humble little forum since the Resistance came out.

Thoughts??? Well, upon first listenings, I hated it. I thought "oh my god what has happened here"
But, I gave it time, and actually its a rather good attempt. Better than Black holes etc, but not a patch on Absolution or OOS.

MK Ultra is such a tune, and as for the symphony... Oh my god - I was quite literally blown away by it.

An inconistant yet - in parts - quite fabulous album I'd say. Exciting to say the very least.

I love OOS and Absolution. Black Holes was heading towards self-parody IMHO. Sadly, for me, I think they've gone too far with the new album. Pretentious bollocks most of it IMO. It's also far too slickly produced. Muse should have rough edges and they don't any more. Crying or Very sad

One of my friends rightly pointed out that track 3 (Undisclosed Desires) actually sounds like it belongs on a Backstreet Boys or NSync album and I totally agree. It's without doubt my least favourite track on the Resistance. Its just so out of place!!

Funnily enough I really didn't like Absolution apart from one or 2 tracks. I thought BHAR was much better.

I so so agree Leo. The more I play it the more I love each track in different ways. Undisclosed Desires is amazing. Very Happy

Funnily enough that's my least favourite. I agree with others - its very out of place.

I also agree about the rough edges. Muse should be slightly rough. I thinnk the Red Hot Chili Peppers did it with By The Way too. A far too polished album. The songs are great, but over-produced. The Resistance is the same.

FINALLY got the new album, an I LOVE IT. Still, yeah, not a patch on Absolution. You have to admit though, for three people, they certainly can belt out some massive sounds.

Reading why Mat wrote Undisclosed Desires it makes it an even more memorable track for MUSE fans. Mat achieved all he set out with this album. I'm so ready for 4th Nov at Sheffield.

Ok, I probably love every song on this album.
Only the symphony thrilogie is not my type of music.
On resistance I'd love to close my eyes!
And with United states... I can see Freddy dancing on a cloud! Very Happy

Which is totally a good thing, cause they never denied that they love Queen.
All in all a great album!!
