Often you think you've heard everything. In summer 2001, I was taught as with a few exceptional bands, better. When I in the form of "Origin of Symmetry" heard Muse for the first time, was like that of a revelation. Of course, the elements used on this album are sometimes not new, but what comes out is something completely individual. This can be seen already the opener "New Born", which is initiated by a mysterious keyboard and vocal melody and can initially close to a ballad, before the onset of heavy guitars make clear that you are dealing with an ingenious Rocker , The chorus (as well as on much of the album) is heard then also Matthew Bellamy's preference for the classical-not what the instrumentation, but the melodies angeht- out. The following point is another milestone in the Muse-history. "Bliss" is an incredibly poignant song, with its dreamy keyboards and melancholy refrain. Goosebumps! This is followed by "Space Dementia", which truly comes from a different world. Here Matthew lives his passion for classical music addressed to the fullest. The entire song is supported by a brilliant dramatic piano melody and is, apart from atmospheric chorus, to offer bombast barely. The following "Hyper Music" indeed can not keep up with the first three masterpieces, but is still far from being bad. Likewise the straighte Rocker "Plug In Baby" which features another ingenious spine-tingling chorus. But now comes for me the heart, the highlight of an album full of highlights: "Citizen Erased", probably the most progressive Muse-piece, initially already increases almost in gothic metal atmosphere, culminating in a century-chorus before it second in the , eagerly-quiet part goes. Although I can see the constant comparisons with Radiohead not quite understand, "Citizen Erased" will match the genius of "Paranoid Android". Although the second half of the album can not quite keep up with the first, but that would otherwise almost eerie and songs like that again dramatic "Micro Cuts", the gloomy "Screenager", or the perfect ending "Megalomania" would be on other albums, the absolute highlights and also the cover "Feeling Good" (do not ask me by whom) is implemented brilliantly. In summary, Muse is hereby managed an album for the ages, with a Matthew Bellamy in top form, both vocally and especially songwriting creative! It remains, as with almost any other band, incredibly exciting, whither Muse will develop which also highlights the latest masterpiece "Absolution"
