The Revolution definitely deserves a higher placing.

made up album that doesn't exist - still better than The Resistance

Fuck it I'm not even editing that, the name's about as forgettable as everything else on that album.

[FloorFiller]

even though Drones was probably worse i think i'd still put The Resistance bottom of my list just for how much of a crushing disappointment it was after my months of insane anticipation

I'll definitely remember that typo for at least another day.

 

Less forgettable than The Resistance in that case.

Wasn't Uprising released a month before The Resistance? Surely that must have been a warning!

 

I was young and foolish at the time, so I loved Uprising. Even then, I was still thinking, 'wtf is this shit?' when I heard songs like Undisclosed Desires and Guiding Light.

yeah Uprising was the first crashing disappointment, but i thought i'd give them the benefit of the doubt as i'd loved the previous albums. what a mistake that was

I even gave some hope towards Drones. I don't know what my deal is there.

I'd say the albums go from best to worst in reverse chronological order. Are they any other bands like this? I can't think of any. LP8 has a lot to live up to

1. Drones

2. The 2nd Law

3. The Resistance

4. Black Holes and Revelations

5. Absolution

6. Origin of Symmetry

7. Showbiz

 

Oasis must come close.

I have long argued Arctic Monkeys are one of these 'reverse chronological order' bands. In other words, they get better with each album. I know their debut is much revered and it meant a lot to me at the time, but I think they have got more lyrically and musically interesting each time

Name another "reverse chronological order" band please.

yeah by the times Drones had come out the comedy value of Muse songs was expected. back when The Resistance came out i genuinely/foolishly expected greatness

1. Humbug

2. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

3. AM

4. Suck It and See

5. Favourite Worst Nightmare

FWN never did much for me.

Suck It and See was trash in my opinion, I'd move Favourite Worst Nightmare up to third and move the other two down. Absolutely agree that Humbug was the best though.

Anyway Muse list time!

1. Origin Of Symmetry 
2. Hullabaloo Soundtrack
3. Absolution
4. Showbiz
5. Black Holes and Revelations (This seems to keep slipping for me, it used to be 2nd!)
6. The 2nd Law
7. HAARP
8. The Revolution
9. Drones 
10. Live at Rome Olympic Stadium

I'd put black holes above showbiz, but the rest I agree with.

 

[Finding leto14]

1. OOS

2. Absolution

3. BHAR

4. Showbiz

5. Drones

6. Resistance

7. 2nd Law

 

2nd Law is the worst album of all time. Not one song should feature on a setlist. I love the psycho riff that destroyed glasto 04 and Reapers is one of their best songs imo. OOS was just pure raw guitar drum bass vocals with some great songs!

 

 

[admscott]

1. Black Holes and Revelations

2. Origin of Symmetry

3. Absolution

4. Showbiz

5. Spice Girls B-Sides

6. Chewing off my own leg

7. Drones

8. The 2nd Law

9. Actual famine

10. The Resistance

[Odessa]

1. Absolution

2. Origin of Symmetry

3. Black Holes and Revelations

4. The Resistance

5. Showbiz

6. The 2nd Law

7. Drones

The 2nd Law and Drones are very weak on the whole. Can't really choose between them, both have some utter garbage, especially the last 4 tracks on The 2nd Law. Lyrically though Drones is one of the worst albums I've ever heard, if not the worst, so it's going last.

In meaningless but sort of related news, I had a dream last night that Glasto announced a few acts including Muse as a headliner. Subbed by "LCD NY SS" which lead asleep me to be very confused as to why they hadn't written LCD Soundsystem or if it was a different band I'd never heard of.

In terms of bands who I'd rank their albums in reverse chronological order, I'd go with At The Drive In and Nirvana.

Hey Isolated System is a good song, I'd say The 2nd Law is by far worse than both The Resistance and Drones though and that's saying something.

I agree with above though, Drones is the worst lyrics fr any album I've ever heard.

Tame Impala for me is a band that gets better with each album

Tame Impala have the opportunity of becoming known as greats (or great!) I'd say only him and Kendrick have that that potential right now. Wonder if Tame Impala could move onto headline status with another great album.

They're building up a collection of hits. Who knows?!
