Muse were excellent last night.

Somewhere between Mozart, Wagner, Black Sabbath, Abba and Metallica (and a little Status Quo) come this excellent band, and bombast after bombast just blew me away! The reviewer for the Scotsman just implied that they were Radiohead wannabes...what a load of balls! There are certainly similarities, but they are a very different beast. Highly recommended.

Am feeling a little guilty as I realised after arrival that I should have checked to see if silverclear wanted to come. Sorry! I'm crap *sigh*

Oooh I like Muse a lot. They're surprisingly melodic for an indie band.

What I've heard and now seen of them, they're more metal than indie! Generally indie bores me witless.

Ooh, really? I've only got the one album and I can't even remember what it's called. Yeah, indie also usually bores me too (which is really saying something, because I like contemporary folk :P).

Origin of Symmetry? I say they're more metal, mainly because they're just bigger, louder and much more technical and guitar-driven than a standard indie band. They do come from that genre, but seem to reside somewhere above the two...

As for contemporary folk, well at least the vocalists probably sing properly, no nasal Richard Ashcroft-style nonsense :p
