Props to them. A very strong album. From the football-chant-esque Uprising to the moving Exogenesis trilogy, this album isn't one you should miss, with aspects every music fanatic would enjoy.

Possibly the most over-rated band on the planet

Not over-rated at all. They're music is very technical yet can be very simple at times. Besides they wouldn't be No. 1 if they was over-rated, people wouldn't BUY their stuff. Props to them.

over rated?
muse are one of the greatest bands of all time.
there music is original and isnt like most of the shit now.
matt bellamy is a genius, one of the worlds greatest guitarists.

the resistance is OK, but origin of symmetry will always be their best.

Have any of you actually listened to this album i am a fan of this band but the resistance is the worst shite they have ever written!!

Muse are ok they do have a habbit of writing one good song on each album then fucking of 4 lunch. Its like they pour their heart and soul into this one song then give up for the rest of the album.

The people who say Muse suck are obviously absolute dumbasses xD I don't Metallica but I don't go around saying they suck.

This album is brilliant! Not their best but still has loads of great songs on!

If you don't like Muse, don't post shit on here about them. I also noticed the date was wrong there...
Obviously people will have different opinions because people have different taste in music, but i thought the album was pretty damn good for the most part.

An actually decent album out this year? Still undeniably one of the most original and talented bands around atm, even if you don't like them (The Resistance kicks ass).

Lady GaGa was overated and look how high up she got. I agree, Muse are overated. Matt is just a paranoid twat who needs an arse kicking.

In my heart MUSE has found its place, it's prolly the best band ever.. But Their new Album just disapoint me.. I'm sure there are aot of people who also think that Resistance Is a big Mess.
