This album is tits. If you don't know that expression, just ask a straight guy what tits are. He says. " GOOD!!" and then starts to drool. Anyway... Here is the album cover. A little weird and could have been better..but the music, Tre Magnifique, and isn't that what it is all about anyway.
This album was released in 2004 here in the US and it was their third. This album has a darker, heavier tone then the albums that preceded it. While the album hit #1 in the UK, it only got as high as 107th in the US. Ouch! We showed no love, but wait. This was the first album to chart in the US and established their fan base in the US, so sayeth Wikipedia. The two songs that got radio play in the US were Hysteria and Time is Running Out. Critics hailed this album as their most cohesive work to date.
Interested... well look below.
Track Listing
1) Intro - This is 22 seconds long. Big Whoppee
2) Apocalypse Please - There is no official video, but someone put this song to scenes from some Anime (Akira and Evangeline) AWESOME! Here is that video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbNawzkTKrg I love it when people do that. Especially to strong songs like this.
3) Time is Running Out - Here is the Official Video for this song. Another Solid song and video from Muse. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfwEUzzDtzo
4) Sing for Absolution - Here is the Video for this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ck6Hcg2cjk Has some Anime of its own. Nice Video and another solid song.
5) Stockholm Syndrome - This songs just rocks. The Guitar riffs are present right from the start. Here is the video for this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXN9acC9edU Another good listen.
6) Falling Away With You - This is a slower song and it is done to perfection. Muse didn't put a video out for it, but here is one with the movie "Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind". Not one of favorite movies. Here is the video so you can atl least listen to the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErSVktFCxLo
7) Interlude - 37 second interlude
8) Hysteria - No matter what, when I see this name I automatically think of Def Leppard. This is a solid song and one of the best on this release. Watch the video and listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7la0SndoCI&list=RDk7la0SndoCI#t=17
9) Blackout - This is a slow song for Muse, however the poor guitarist must have gotten arthritis playing the guitar part in the middle of the song. It is the fastest guitar riff Muse has and it is on the slowest song. Wicked. Click here to listen. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dee3RSgUWiM
10) Butterflies and Hurricanes- Great Song and the video is fun to watch as well. Click here to watch and listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzCKrwOme2U
11) TSP - TSP means the Small Print. when I first saw this come up on my Media Player, I was like Teaspoon?? Then listened to the song and got what they meant. You can listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5LMc_oxwvw warning, the lyrics are written in Spanish. No English Lyric video was present.
12) Endlessly - Love Song from Muse, that's different. Still good. You can click here to listen to this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQuExgINlSQ
13) Thoughts of a Dying Atheist - Listen before you start spouting off at the mouth. I am even attaching the Lyric video so you can read along and get the meaning. Watch that here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIwXMPhM0FU
14) Ruled by Secrecy - Nice song to end this trip on. I have been finding each album is a concept, from start to finish. This album dealt with the apocalyptic concept. Listen here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx3jL4NpYh8
Let me know if you are a fan of Muse. If you weren't or had never heard of them, did you listen and like their album. Have a listen to their other works. These guys are worth the time to listen to.
