He's a fucking spastic
and his band are shit.

they used to do some decent stuff
but sadly every one of their songs is now the same combination of gay hand claps and over-produced, over-effected rubbish.

also, they come from a shithole

They're one of the only vaguely inventive mainstream bands this bloody country has produced in about a decade
Although I'll concede they've disappeared into a cul-de-sac of their own creation marked "Prog rock hell" in recent years

it is a real shame that they have gone that way
as they did show some promise.

I fucking love prog rock, but the stuff they are doing now is dull and repetitive.

Agreed
Such a shame. The new album managed to rip off Queen, Radiohead, Blondie, Depeche Mode and the Doctor Who theme int he first four songs. Points for influence, not for originality

and was exactly the same as their previous work
but slightly worse

for prog rock these days you should be checking out Bigelf's Cheat the Gallows and Pure Reason Revolution's Cautionary Tales for the Brave.

I'm not allowed any more music
until I've MP3'd everything I own.

Every time I learn something new it pushes old stuff out of my brain

I do kind of agree
I used to love Muse so much, but their recent stuff that's made it onto the radio has made them a bit rubbish, it's like every song has to be epic.

Their set at the Leeds festival a few years back on the sunday night when it was raining biblically is still the best live act I've ever seen though. There were lasers and shit. And the rain made it feel like we were in a music video. Although I was wearing a white shirt which wasn't very opaque by the end.

Damn
My innate maleness has distracted me from the serious discussion taking place above the words "rain", "white shirt" and "corsetier"

Avoid 'mainstream' and 'modern' and you'll be fine.

This is all Oasis' fault
There was actual, "new", "exciting" music being made in Britain in the early 90's until they killed creativity stone fucking dead
