just got the album, it's kinda short but it's full of fucking win, their best album so far imo, the Exogenesis Symphony blows my mind, some great riffs in the whole album with fantastic lyrics, I completely recommend it.
 

I thoroughly disagree. No offense; I just didn't like this one nearly as much as the other albums.

Exogenesis symphony is incredible. There are a few questionable songs in it, but I think they are growing on me. But overall really good.

It is a nice album, though for now i've only downloaded two songs. MK Ultra and Uprising

I have the album too and I don't quite know how I feel about it. I love a couple of the songs but others are kinda slow it seems. I'll have to listen to it some more.

I liked it, but I felt it really doesn't compare to their other albums.

Meh. The instrumentation really isn't that good, and too many of their songs just scream too much of Queen.

Exogenesis Symphony part 1 is a blatant rip-off of a section of Philip Glass' Pruitt Igoe, from the film Koyaanisqatsi.

I really like Undisclosed Desires, and the rest of the album is catchy. I guess I was just a bit bored of the old Muse, excellent though they were, this is more, and slightly better imo.

Yeah...the album is shit. <_> Probably the only album this year as bad as Regina Spektor's new cd.

It's not my cup of tea.

I didnt mind it, although its not my favourite muse album. 
But still, its more muse! Therefore its worth buying.

Its great. sounds heavenly like any muse masterpiece, but t he lack of the element of rock is the only problem.. soft muse is charming, but that album is too soft

Yeah.. It kind of dies down after uprising, and thats not especially heavy either. 
And its the first track..

I love Muse and bought the album BUT 10 minutes after purchasing the album I read a post stating that Matt Belamy (the lead singer) is against file sharing and wants isps to start charging for bandwidth. I was so pissed off. He said that there is a big difference between people who just check e-mails and people who are file-sharing. Apparently the dick doesn't know that other types of people exist, like games downloading patches and so on and so forth. I am so pissed at him right now and myself since I bought the iTunes LP. Oh and he agreed with Lily Allen (a never was) with the fact that the internet kills the chances for upcoming artists. WTF MAN! WTF!!!!!

It's a good album but I still think that Origin of Symmetry is their best album to date.

Then hop on the bands myspace and let him know what kind of people we are! 
Thats kind of a dick move on his behalf, but I'm sure he didn't mean to piss us legit people off.

What the gay hobo said...or are you actually on fire? "

I like it, it's a bit of an anti climax though.

It's definitely grew on me, I still prefer their older stuff though.

I've been a fan since 1999 when I first heard plug in baby. Their first two albums where trying to be very Radiohead, despite some absolutely amazing songs on there. Absolution is an amazing album because of its consistent themes. Black Holes and Revelations was an attempt at evolving the sound and the Resistance seems to be the result of a fully form sound, it just pips Absolution for me.

I think the album is amazing (minus Undisclosed Desires). But "The Resistance" is definitely not their best work.

I find it very bland. Admittedly, I felt the same about Black Holes and Revelations, until recently when I really listened to a few tracks (most importantly Take A Bow...that track is made of fucking win). Maybe I just need to listen to it a few more times.

While I don't think The Resistance is Muse's best work, it's still Muse, which in my mind puts it a notch above a lot of the stuff coming out today. I think it starts out pretty good, but loses me in the middle, which is a bit of a shame. Muse was one of the only bands who I could slap a CD on and listen to it all the way through without wanting to skip ahead. Sadly, The Resistance doesn't have that appeal.

Why are you so angry? Artists lose a lot of money due to file sharing. "

The Resistance is a pretty great album. Undisclosed Desires is a terrible, awful song though.

I always say that if Exogeneis was on Absolution then Absolution would be my favorite album ever.

Just listened to a few quick tracks of it on Rhapsody.  I just didn't like it.  I went back to listen to the older stuff as well.  I don't like the vocals for some reason.  Seems kind of whiny.

Personally I stopped caring about Muse after Absolution.
