Advantages: it's muse... of course it's good! Disadvantages: none... the perfect album
...I first saw Muse supporting one of my other favourite bands, Rialto, in '98. Since then I've bought every single they've released, and I had a long wait before their debut album, Showbiz, was finally released. But it was well worth that wait. In my opinion, every song on the album is excellent - none of those weak songs you get on lots of albums that you just skip over. They range from the louder, faster songs like Cave and Uno, to the slower, and just generally loooovely Unintended and Falling Down. Muse are a band who make me look forward to the future of music - having seen them live several times I can say that the new songs are equally excellent - Plug In Baby being one of my personal favourites. Can't wait for the next album!...

...The man who... was recommended to me by a friend, and now I go to them whenever I need a new album! he music is the best I have heard for a long time, and Travis provide one of the most listenable sounds to hit the charts in the past year.

I can't wait 'til the next album, and I hope to catch Travis on tour sometime in the near future....
