Origin of Symmetry appreciation thread

omentremor · 06-10-2009, 08:42 AM

I just stumbled acroos the 2nd Muse cd 'Origin of Symmetry' and it's reblown my mind. This was the album that drew me away from being a classical guitarist. The first Muse effort has some brilliant songs on it, as does Absolution but neither felt like consistently great albums. The first they were finding their feet and the third was starting to walk down the road of pretentious dreary rock which is where they have now gone. But man what a spectacular album Origin is. To this day I still feel influenced by it in the way I use clean sections.
Anyone else love this record?

PS Space Dimentia has to be one of the most evil songs ever written.

it is good

'Bliss' has one of my favourite arpeggio uses of all time.

Yes yes yes yes yes. Origin of Symmetry is the first Muse album I ever got and the only one I've kept. Everything afterwards has been nothing but Bellamy perusing his own arsehole, and Showbiz just never really did it for me. OoS, on the other hand, is start to finish a badass record.

Ever noticed how some people are real dicks on the internet, but when they post something involving their band, they make the effort to be nice? Funny that...

A single idea from the Human mind, can build cities, an idea, can transform the world and re-write all the rules, which is why... I have to steal it.
