5 stars It's absolutely brilliant feeling when you figure it out that some young band like Muse keep some of prog culture in their works. Origin of Symmetry is personally my favourite Muse's album. Full of prog elements, passive-agressive atmpsphere and brilliant falsetto voice by Matthew Bellamy is full shot. Hardly who can nowdays even try to tackle with new prog. Muse absolutely left their mark with their first albums and then going on with experiments in rock culture.

New Born is maybe the greatest track on this album, or maybe the greatesr ever in Muse's history of music.

Citizen Erased applies to be the most progressive track ever untill the 2015. when they make 10 minute prog nightmare called The Globalist.

Micro Cuts shows us the high frequency of Bellamy's falsetto capability. It's dark song, creepy and quite unique for prog music.

Feeling Good is their first covered album track. This Nina Simone's song is one of the most popular songs which are covered, and Muse do that on really good way. Full with hard piano chords, strong bass in the background, and Dominic Howard's impressive drum skills, can't leave you without ''good feeling''.

Lyrics are quite genius too. Bellamy wrote songs for the first time on theme of atheism. Discretly, he sends message of his beliefs, or in this case, unbeliefs. We can see that in songs Megalomania and Hyper Music.

Plug in Baby applies to be one of the greatest riffs of 21st century. In this song, Bellamy warns us to see how technology is rising, and we can see that nowdays.

In the end, i can say that if you like to hear a few steps forward of progressive music, you necessarily must start listening Muse. They always want to do something new, try to experiment with many kinds of music, and i think that's really brave, in this days, when people judge for the first time you try to find your skills in other genres.

Keep going on Muse, you can Revolt! :D
