Free Music Notes for Origin of Symmetry
Free Music Review: Creative, original, technical, aggressive
Hit: 5 Stars
Excellent CD! Easily in top 5-10 favotrite CD's ever made.
What makes this so unique is the technical ability of three musicians and the level of mastery they all possess. This is a CD that hits on all cylinders from the first song, New Born, up until the end, with Megalomania. What amazes me the most is just how effective Muse were in fuzing aggressive songwriting with the more laid-back style that most Muse fans know. In my opinion, this is Muse's best work as there are so many jaw-dropping moments; the chorus of Citizen Erased, the opening piano lines of Space Dementia, the haunting space-opera of Micro Cuts, the manic pace of New Born...I could go on and on.
If you are a music lover, you need this CD.
Origin of Symmetry Poster
After 2004's U.S. breakthrough success for U.K. favorite Muse, the band's second album, 2001's Origin of Symmetry, finally earns its stateside release. Last yeasr's Absolution and major performances across the country won legions of American fans for the band that was the prestigious closing act at London's V2004 Festival. Now these new fans can experience an earlier Muse with Origin of Symmetry.Pomposity, bombast, pretension and prog-rock: they're four crimes that blight the landscape of modern music and Origin Of Symmetry--the second record by Teignmouth, U.K. angst-rockers Muse--is guilty of every single one. But the truly astonishing thing about this record is the way it twists every one of these cardinal musical sins into spectacularly silly and starkly individual strengths. Where their debut album Showbiz was rightly dismissed as little more than Radiohead-lite, here Muse sound defiantly like their own band: on "New Born", they're torn somewhere between the purity of front man Matt Bellamy's angelic vocal tones and the corruption of a huge, dirty, distorted bass riff that electrifies the sound into crackling life; on the fraught, operatic "Bliss", they sound like an unholy--but very welcome--cross between synth-heavy Krautrock legends Tangerine Dream and youthful choirboy angst-peddlers JJ72; and even a wonderfully dippy take on the Nina Simone-popularised jazz standard "Feeling Good" is carried off with the requisite deadpan countenance. Bellamy's impassioned voice, in particular, is on spectacular form, soaring skywards until it cracks into a beautiful falsetto reminiscent of Jeff Buckley's greatest vocal moments. So gloriously overblown, it deserves to be huge--Origin Of Symmetry is a fascinating, flamboyant and satisfyingly individual album. --Louis Pattison
