Muse, seemed to me first time I heard them like a fusion of alternative metal and something but they would clearly have those influences. They always seemed to me to be essentially pop music and I find it hard to listen to them, partly because they tend to use several strange and unheard artificial effects.
Say what you will, but i didnt like it.
Well yeah, it's alternative. Yeah, it's progressive... I didn't like them from the start - I'm much more 'traditional' in my taste. I'm devoted Queen-fan, and I would never dream of comparing anyone to Queen if there wasn't any reason in it. But on this new album there really is. The track "United States of Eurasia (+ Collateral Damage)" is an ODE to Bohemian Rhapsody, the curly guitar lead of curly guitarman Brian May goes again on nearly every track - etc etc!
Muse requires listening, and yes they use effects - but how much Muse have you heard? I won't challenge you if your absolutely KNOW that you wont EVER like them, but I CAN give you some directions in which ways you may try to listen to Muse, or help you find some tracks thats not as alternative...
Take a look at this video, and tell me that there arent any parts you like, and at least ONE point that gives you goosebumbs...
YouTube - Knights Of Cydonia: Live At Wembley Stadium 2007 (mind yourself this is not from the new album!)
I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
