ABSOLUTION - REVIEW

Overall view: Fucking awesome. Different to most of their other material. Excellent. The boys should be proud. All hail Muse!! :P

1. Intro
Nice intro, makes me think of impending doom, and a Nazi army...
2. Apocalypse Please
Excellent. Makes me think of the WW1. Love the piano chords... A Major, I think. I love stuff like that. Superb lyrics. Definately should be released as a single. Boy would I like to direct that video...
3. Time Is Running Out
Diamond. I love the whole tune, chorus, great lyrics. THe reason most of my friends know Muse. Great video. I like the bit at the end where they all just fall down and die... cool. Lovin' Matt's clothes too.
4. Sing For Absolution
Another popular one, but it doesn't quite do it for me. Too slow. Good video though
5. Stockholm Syndrome
Great, loud one. Cool video. Makes me think of insanity and torture... :P
6. Falling Away With You
Not so good. Boring, basically. But nevertheless, great warbling by Matt. :P
7. Interlude
Nice intro to Hysteria The "Hidden Track".
8. Hysteria
WOAH!!!!! Brilliant. Makes me wanna scream, jump around, behave like a hooligan and vandal! Cool video. Check out the director's cut version on the Microcuts Muse fansite. Rather revealing...
9. Blackout
Crap. Boring, does nothing for me.
10. Butterflies and Hurricanes
Yay! Great piano chords again, deep, reaching for the soul. Shows what today's society is really like. I want to direct that video too. Or star in it. Same goes for Apocalypse Please.
11. The Small Print
Yeah, cool. Bit too, well, slow :P
12. Endlessly
Nice. It's like Matt crying about a relationship gone wrong. Beautiful, touching.
13. Thoughts Of A Dying Athiest
Cool. Great theme, good lyrics. Bit Coldplayish though :P
14. Ruled By Secrecy
Cool, again. Nice, soul-destroying lyrics. Love the cool climax piano bit at the end!

Overall rating: 98/100 - EXCELLENT
