Oh man. I can't really think of many. I initially struggled with King Crimson's Islands and also some early VDGG especially H to He and Pawn Hearts but all of those have grown on me I think.

Someone mentioned Operation Mindcrime. That's a very overrated album imo. I don't hate it but I fail to see what the big deal is.


+1 for OM🤷‍♂️


Hi,

Saw them on a tour with Dream Theater at the time, and their encore was one of the hits by The Who with the loud scream so James Labrie could rip our guts out! It was OK though ... but I thought that OM was not great ... but seeing them get ripped apart by DT at the time, was quite something else ... and it was clear that folks in the theater came to see DT, not anything else, except that Fates Warning (the opener) sure deserved much better than an audience of 10 folks including myself!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

[/QUOTE] I kind of dropped off Muse after Black Holes. They've become too Electro-pop and shouldn't have gone "Queen' with their nest two.
To me, Abso is their best by far, because of the addition of the piano, and in some ways, I'm happy that they didn't reproduce that since, making Lution a unique album in their discography.
I will give OOS another try ASAP, though.

I saw a full show broadcast a couple years ago, and they beome something I don't like, though I must hand it to them that they are awesome and what and how they do it. [/QUOTE]

Muse pretty much passed me by at the time, but a couple of years ago I listened to The Resistance quite a lot when I was helping to work on a cover version of Uprising. I had dismissed them as a more bombastic version of Radiohead, but taken on its own terms The Resistance is a pretty good 3rd Millennium reboot of early Queen. Origin of Symmetry is the one I return to most, and I will revisit Black Holes and Absolution sometime soon.
