I impulse bought Absolution today (because it was in the vinyl section and I had liked the one Muse track I had heard - Hysteria, which my son's band cover!). It is extremely impressive and I would undoubtedly classify it as prog. Not the 70s/80s style I usually listen to but a very modern style. So do we think Muse should be here? Apologies if this has been run before I joined!
(As an aside, I also bought Dream Theater's "Scenes from...." (but on CD) because they clearly have a huge following and there must be some reason. I hope it improves with listening - some great bits, some almost embarrassingly bad. People compare them to Metallica; the difference is, I like Metallica and I like James Hetfield's voice. I doubt if I will ever like James Labrie's voice. BIG problem.)
