If Origin of Symmetry isn’t in your top 10 I will be disappointed.
Also; I did not expect this Absolution > In Rainbows. I am shock-ed.
*Refers you back to my top 42 albums of the decade (42 – 26) list*
39. Muse – Origin Of Symmetry
Citizen Erased is an awesome track, but it doesn’t make up for the general mediocrity (in comparison to the albums above it on the list) of a lot of the other songs on it.
And yeah, In Rainbows has a few realy good songs, but considering its a 10 track album theres at least three that are a bit meh, and thats way to high a ratio of meh
OH MY GOD, THAT WAS SO LONG AGO. I do not remember things.
“high a ratio of meh”
This phrase is made of win.
