| Muse has some interesting moments and the first song could definitely be defined as prog from the Absolution lp, but after that it sounds like Alternative rock with a twist. |

| Let's see, I like Prog, most kinds. I heard Absolution and found it noisy and boring. So... no. |

I'm bemused about the prospect of muse being added to this site. Gdub is my hero, I want to follow in his footsteps, I'll start with imitating his humour, then the rest will follow naturally. |

They certainly use all the excesses of prog. If anyone thinks Queen were prog then Muse are. Maybe prog thinly veiled as alt pop rock. Oh yeah, I love em for what its worth. ------------- Ridicule is the burden of genius. |

It's a great album but it's not prog. Some prog fans try to make every band they like prog, but there is good music outside of prog too!!! |

| Okay now I've listened to Origin of Symmetry and my mind has totally changed. This is prog, and quite extraordinarily fantastic new prog too! This album is a lot more complex and heavier too, lots of soaring guitars to be found here. Yes I think Muse sh |

Muse are my favorite band, tied with Yes i'd agree that Origin of Symmetry is progressive rock, and my favorite album tied with Close to the Edge Absolution also has a lot of prog on it, but its brought down by some things like Time is R |
