Review by defborn Aug 07, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

referencing Origin Of Symmetry, CD, Enh, 481.2010.070, PIAS2010CD

This CD is - as far as I am concerned - one of the musically and technically best albums of alltime (in it's genre and maybe beyond). Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" is astounishing, Michael Jacksons 'Thriller' revolutionising, but 'Origin Of Symmetry' is breathtaking at some point.

Muse is a very skilled band, especially Matthew Bellamy on the guitar.

New Born instantly sharpens your senses combing a wonderfull smooth piano intro followed by a powerfull guitar riff. The song is one of the best on the album, but still Space Dementia and Plug In Baby beat it with the smallest of points.

The songs are each and everyone very original and not boring. It's not a "heard one, heard 'em all' type of album, not at all!

Every Muse fan without this album is not a Muse fan, and every (rock) music fan should consider adding it to his/her collection. Nice tunes, strong riffs, emotional piano melodies and a cutting edge voice bring a unique vibrant mix.

As I allready said: one of the best albums ever.
