Absolution is a brilliant album, even if it doesnt have Citizen Erased, which is easily their best song.

Absolution - their best yet and "proggiest" imo.

I conclude that Showbiz is underappreciated here.

I believe "Origin of Simmetry" is far more original than the commercial song-oriented "Absolution". Still, my vote goes to to "Black Holes and Revelations", a very epic work and the one which fills more in the concept of a "movie for the ears".

Black Holes and Revelations is indeed good, not at all as bad as many here have said (in my opinion, of course)

Absolution is the best I think, although Starlight is probably their best song I think.

I probably look at the question with a more 'pop' minded view when i say i think black holes and revalations is their best album, but i think its absolutely brilliant, probably do to the fact that I was introduced to their music through this album.... obviously they are all of high quality.
Love the song plug in baby

Then hear it! A great album it is. Not better than Absolution, but still very good.

I just heard BHAR and it's amazing... My only complaint is the vocals are too much copy/paste from Radiohead's Yorke (with a little bit Bono in the mix), but the music (and the way those vocals go over it) are great and should be in the art rock section. Great album.

^Have you heard their other albums? If not, get Absolution and Origin of Symmetry as soon as you possibly can!

No I haven't, but after what I heard in BHAR, I sure will follow that advice! Great band, original yet simple, rocky yet poppy, excellent.

I prefer Absolution, but Symmetry was a good sort of stepping stone to what was to come. Black Holes wasn't quite as good as i'd hoped
