I mean, its like comparing marilyn manson to mansun cos the names sort of sound the same. well, thats a pretty crap analogy, but you know what I mean.
Showbiz is probably the best album of the year (well last year) - I first heard the band when they were playing a toilet tour of the UK, and Imanaged to get hold of one of their tracks after attending Sound City 98 in Newcastle.
Matt Bellamy, the lead singer, has one of the finest, most delicate voices on the planet - Muse will become better and better with each album.
Oh and the Japanese love them, so theyre never gonna be dropped :)
