But still, the #1 song had over 1000 more spins less than 4 months ago. That's significant any way you slice it.

...and the two worst songs on it? "Uprising" and "United States of Eurasia". (Thank God!)

...and the two worst songs on it? "Uprising" and "United States of Eurasia". (Thank God!) that's really good considering I like both of those songs! USoE I take for it is an homage song to music and bands they were influenced by especially in the long version in the use of the classical piece. Uprising is admittedly not their best song however, its still good enough for me, to lead off the album.

Now the real album has leaked. The one that "leaked" before was fake.

I really like "Uprising" but not USE. Could live without that one.
"Undisclosed Desires" is the hottest track on the album!

With the whole album to use as context, I like this more now. Not sure if it's my least favorite on the album anymore.

As far as my favourites go this would be somewhere in the middle... I'm quite sure Guiding Light is my favourite.

Right now I'm most partial to "Resistance" and "Undisclosed Desires".

Right now I'm most partial to "Resistance" and "Undisclosed Desires". The beginning of Resistance reminds me of another Muse song, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Time to sift through my collection! Undisclosed Desires is up there too, love it. I'm really impressed by this as an album. I think it they lose their way a little as they reach the symphony, but then... the symphony.

This album is absolutely amazing but Undisclosed Desires is just sick. Very nice, Matt's vocals sound kinda different on this track, which I love. MK Ultra is awesome as well.

I'm thinking the extended middle eight section on Citizen Erased... but only briefly. Though I strongly disagree about losing their way near the end... Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra are monumental moments on the album. Muse epitomized!!!

as of today's 7 day rolling update "Uprising" has the biggest bullet in the top 40 Alt chart. Does this mean we may see a long run for them at #1? I wonder if Weezer will make a run at them or fizzle before they can catch up. Alice In Chains has an outside shot too, should be interesting to watch what makes strides to the #1 position in the next few weeks.

Congrats on Muse's first #1 on U.S. Alternative Songs. They certainly deserve it!

"Undisclosed Desires" is my favorite song on the album.
Meh... the album starts out great but threatens to be what everyone criticizing the group perceives them to be. Not the Radiohead comparison thing, but the overblown thing. I'm hoping it'll grow on me.

Uprising is definitely my favorite single of theres, even better than Starlight. I don't see this falling from the #1 spot until at least late October, maybe November. I don't even know what's going to even challenge it besides 30 Seconds To Mars.
Meet Me On The Equinox? Weezer?
Thats about it.

I always thought "Stockholm Syndrome" should have been huge at active. That might have cracked the top 50 there.

Undisclosed Desires ROASTS, what a song. This album is pretty good.

Undisclosed Desires ROASTS, what a song. This album is pretty good. Unusual and possibly very alienating for some fans. If the song was done by anyone else I probably wouldn't have liked it so much. Muse, bringing rock credibility to an R&B tune near you.

I think they set the bar a little too high for themselves with black holes. I just do not like this new record nearly as much as any of their other 6.
That's not to say it's bad, or that it doesn't have its moments of greatness. That's just what they are - moments. The album's ambitions clash with what I'm looking for in a Muse album, with the exception of "undisclosed desires", which is amazing. The exogenesis series, while finely crafted, takes up too great a percentage of the whole album. It'd be the equivalent of black holes having about five "hoodoo"s.
Much of everything else just seems like it's been done before, although I love the title track, riding the formula of greatness that we saw in "map of the problematique".
It gets 3.5 out of 5 stars for now.

Other 6? I thought they had four other CDs. Unless you're counting live albums?

A friend of mine is a major Muse fan, but I'm not real fond of them.
