Muse - The 2nd Law
This won't be popular round here I know, but I think it is brilliant.


Is this the first record of their's that you have liked? I saw the bass player on Later with the great sound and the built-in kaos pad and liked the mixture of Prince, Neneh Cherry and Queen. Is it all like that?

My daughters listen to them so they have had an ambient presence at home for years but none of it stuck my ears as being meant for me. Not memorable enough in the songwriting department. I am not one to go looking for the avant garde in the wrong places and I still think The Bends is Radiohead's best record so I am not adverse to what comes out of rock's "centre left". Let me know what you made of it.



Listening to 2nd Law right now, and I stick by what I said, I think it is brilliant. If you get a chance, give it a good listen nice and loud. Some interesting and carefully done production if nothing else. OK, it isn't as deep as Matt Bellamy would like to think it is, but hell, he sounds like he means it. So it's a bit derivative? What isn't. I really like it, good fun.


I think I had better give it a go. I could do with some fun listening.

Very tempted to tell the person on the cash register at HMV that I decided to buy it after recommendations from a Cat, an Elf and a Squid. Bet no one has said that in a record store since 1973!


Hahaha! I hope you enjoy it Ian, I'm gonna feel bad if not...
