After three listens, the album is pretty solid, but doesn't approach Absolution, IMO one of the best albums of all time. I'm hoping it grows on me, but the worst part is that the one song that jumps out as amazing is Uprising, though every time I hear the start of the song I think I'm listening to Spirit in the Sky. I like when I hear a new album to find a song that's not a single that's the highlight, and I don't know yet if this album has that.

Other 6? I thought they had four other CDs. Unless you're counting live albums? The live album and the very underrated Hullabaloo soundtrack, in addition to the four traditional worldwide releases.

I don't usually count live releases as albums since it's not like it's new material or mostly new material.

You don't have to. I only counted it because, coming from one of my favorite bands of the moment, it provided me with a reason to get excited, with the potential for either continued excitement, or the letdown, just as a new studio release would.
Then again, there are EP's too. But I've never gotten excited over anyone's EP. I guess it's more of a gut feeling thing than a standardization thing.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oTt8Noi5Rk If you guys haven't seen this video yet, you are missing out... Just to provide an explanation, this show that's basically Italy's equivalent of TRL asked Muse to guest perform. However, all their guest performances are lip-synced. Muse asked to be able to play for real, but the show didn't let them. So they switched instruments, and really didn't try very hard to hide what they were up to. And I think the people running the show were too dumb to realize. Matt Bellamy is the best drummer EVER!!!

I can't get over what a cohesive effort this album is. I'm really impressed.

Is there another link for the video mentioned above...? Several of them actually. If you watch the video, the links afterward are probably slightly different versions. Or you could search for it on YouTube and get several different results for sure. At least one of them has English subtitles, which was great for me, because I really wanted to hear what Dominic was saying without the Italian overdub. The one I looked at actually said the word subtitles in the title.

^Hmm....Could you please edit out a bunch of those "ha"'s, so the width of the message frame on this page isn't annoyingly stretched out? I'd really appreciate it.

This is as funny as anything I've ever seen a band pull, and it just so happens to be Muse. I love it. Turns out that this is not the first time they've done such a thing, either. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZZrM_pS98E

That really is awesome. While some of their best tracks ever came from BH&R, I think The Resistance is more consistently awesome.

I'm beginning to wonder if this will ever give up the number one spot.

I think this has spent enough weeks on #1.

16th non-consecutive week on top of Billboard's Alternative rock songs chart for "Uprising" now. Three more weeks will secure the record for longest run at #1, surpassing "The Pretender". I was glad to see this band hit #1, but this is getting slightly silly now. It's time for "Kings and Queens" to take over the realms.

Damn, I was honestly hoping for "I Want You To" to squeeze in there for a bit. But yeah, 16 weeks is a bit much.

Wtf? For me, it's hard to accept that a song like this is on the track to break an important record. Hold on, "The Pretender".

I found the album uneven--but this song is the clear highlight.

19 weeks at #1 on Mediabase Alternative. A new record. I'm fine with this because at least Muse isn't an A-team Alternative chart staple getting massive number ones mostly from name recognition.

Not to mention it's coming from a band unfairly pigeon-holed as Radiohead clones for the majority of their career. Nineteen weeks at number one mark their transcendence. It's redemption. I couldn't be happier for them and I hope to see them pile on a few more weeks. Not that there's a more deserving song on the chart now (I would have given up one of the weeks to "Check My Brain", in retrospect, had I known of Muse's upcoming vassalage of the Alternative chart.)

Currently headed for its 17th week on #1 with a +61 bullet. :O

This song could potentially go back to #1, seeing as how Back Against the Wall is slipping as well.

^Honestly, looking at the negative bullets in the top 6 at alternative, "Resistance" could realistically jump from #7 to #1 to claim the #1 spot by next Monday, maybe even Sunday if its rate of ascent increases.
