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"
