I have no emotional ties with Muse's newer albums (I.e. Resistance & Black Holes), they just don't "do it for me". However, it doesn't mean that they're crap albums, nor does it mean that they've sold out. I liked Origin of Symmetry & Absolution a lot. In fact, they're basically the only Muse albums I listen to.

That doesn't mean they've turned to shit. It just means that they've taken a step in a direction that didn't match with what I wanted from the band. But it's what they wanted. Doesn't that in fact mean that they've done the exact opposite of selling out?

It seems like Muse is doing their best to be a stadium band. They've certainly reached the position to be one, so it's time to make their megalomanic walls of sound even bigger. The track "United States of Eurasia" is a blatant declaration of this. I listen to it occasionally for the lulz of sounding just like Queen at times, hell, I still expect "We are the Champions" to begin every other time.

As soon as they wrote Knights of Cydonia, they were a stadium band

Personally, I don't understand the hype with that song.

Probably beacause it's such an obvious, blatant attempt to make an epic stadium song.

But anyway.

Used to like them when I was younger, not anymore. Nonetheless, I will download that new album to see what the fuss is all about, then I'll post thoughts.

I like their older albums, and I like their new one.

Good to have some different sounding songs.

It is not that bad, and surely they aren't "sold out". I like it. Undisclosed desires is nice.
