Album Notes Enhanced Australian edition.The sophomore release by this English rock trio makes good on the promise of the band's debut, SHOWBIZ. Like that album, ORIGIN OF SYMMETRY is a lush, artfully arranged album of epic, heady rock (complete with electronics, swirling guitars, baroque keyboard embellishments, and dramatic vocals) that is sure to garner comparisons to Radiohead.In addition to their grand sonic canvases, though, Muse have a way with a melodic hook, and consequently balance out the progressive tendencies of the music with straightforward rock accessibility. All of these factors are more pronounced on ORIGIN than on the debut, and the result is a release that positions Muse as one of the more promising acts on the U.K.'s new rock scene. | |||||||||||
Top Reviews  Muse - Origin Of Symmetry 5 of 6 people found this review helpful. Origin Of Symmetry is possibly the finest rock album of it's time. It's like a journey through space - it's writing and recording was heavily influenced by Hyperspace, a book by Michio Kaku that explores the origin of symmetry - the beginning of the universe. As soon as you hear the piano intro to first track New Born, you know you're on to something good. If it hasn't already grabbed you by the lapels, wait for the skull-crushing guitar riff to start. Rock 'n roll! And then track two. Bliss gently eases you into another hard rocking track with it's deceptive piano arpeggios, and then by the chorus, the soaring vocals start. Phwoar. Space Dementia is a wonderfully creepy piano-based track that oozes venom at the unknown. Then Plug In Baby. Wow. This was recently voted one of the top tracks to play Air Guitar to, and I must admit: It really is. The penultimate track, Feeling Good, is a Nina Simone track - but not as you know it. It's given a new lease of rock-life and funks up the album brilliantly. The final track, Megalomania, offers exactly what you'd want from a track with a name like that. Epic church organs, ear-splittingly high vocals (from a man, no less!) and thoughtful lyrics. This is just a big slice of prog rock. Phwoar! Review ID: 10000000000034274 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews Amazing!Wish I was there, although I did try to get tickets before I was off to Egypt, met someone there who did go to the concert and I could only feel gutteed with envy. Brilliant CD and DVD! A must for fans! Review ID: 10000000009009960 Was this review helpful? Report this review Muse - Origin of Symmerty CD 2001 AlbumReview created: 09/05/08 by: As a fan of Muse I would say that the Origin of Symmerty album is on of the best they have done. It has a nice variation of songs that are great to listen to, most of which are played live by Muse and the crowd love it. To get a rough idea of what Muse sound like, go to their web site at www.muse.mu or visit youtube.com. I hope you enjoy. Dan Myers Review ID: 10000000007079864 Was this review helpful?

Report this review YEAH BABY NOW THIS ALBUM IS WHAT I CALL MUSIC!!Review created: 21/04/07 by: If you are lucky/unlucky enough to read my other reviews on this group you will know I do not have a bad word to say about Muse. Its raw talent and I mean musical skills,nothing else!! This is another one of those classic albums which you never want to end but when it does it only takes a few seconds to start again at the beginning ready for another play through. There is nothing on here which cannot be listened to.It is stunning from start to finish and I highly recommend it to any lucky person who is thinking of buying it. You don't get many bargains for under a tenner these days,DON'T miss this one!! Review ID: 10000000003428484 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
