ORIGIN OF SYMMETRY

Slightly overated album in the Muse back catologue.Yes it has loads of keyboards ..well more than Showbiz or Absolution anyway..but it lacks the rock edge of the former and the cohesiveness of the latter.The impresive thing about Absolution is the way the songs fit together while this feels to me like an aimless collection of songs.Admittedly some of them are very good..Megolamania and Space Dementia are as 'proggy' as Muse has ever got ,but the best quality Muse material for me is on Absolution and their last Black Holes and Revelations.
