Muse

[Enlarge Picture]

I listen to a lot of music. Most of the time I'm sitting down at the computer I have my headphones on and iTunes just constantly running. And usually after a couple days listening to something new I'm rather tired of it. And only occasionally ever go back and listen to it again.

Which makes it so strange that I've been listening to the same couple CDs for the last 3 or 4 weeks. Muse. A british group. Seems like a lot of the good music (and tv for that matter) is coming out of Britan these days. (Or at least not from the States).

Sing for Absolution , Citizen Erased , Black Out , Hoodoo , City of Delusion , etc. Lots of intelligent lyrics backing some strong music. That's rare. The "intelligent lyrics" part. I usually (inwardly) cringe when I start understanding the lyrics of a song because I know it won't belong til I understand how dull and uninspired the subject really is. It's what ruins a cd for me.

But there are a few … a rare few than have that true artistic gleam. Fitting name all in all.

Check out the Sing for Absolution video on their website. (The song is about something else all together, but it works with that storyline as well, strangely.)
