I just bought Muse - Absolution this past Saturday. I have no idea why I have not made this purchase at an earlier time. However, I think it's absolutely wonderful.

I just thought I would let everyone know that I am very happy with my purchase. Ultimately, this thread is unnecessary.

I also bought Rage Against the Machine's first album. I haven't owned it in at least a half decade. It's been very nostalgic.

Speaking of RATM, saw Tom Morello at a Kasabian show this weekend. Made my night! I heart him!

i luv that muse album too. wonder what happened to the "origin of symmetry" rerelease that was supposed to happen. anyone? import cost sucks.

absolution still blows my mind. fucking amazing release.

Yeah, where is that thing? I've seen the local stores stocked with the $32.99 imports, but I'm just not that willing to part with that much money for one CD anymore, great as it may be (their best - that's what I hear, at least.) I also saw some $49 Japanese release which consisted of three singles in three separate CD-single cases, which appeared to have a bunch of live stuff and non-album tracks. I know it's an import and all, but $50? WTF?

I say: better late than never. It's never too late.

Agreed.

Also, I think I'm going to put this album on now.

I've always been iffy about this album too. The singles are great. I don't know. one of the better "alt" bands though, I guess.

This album rules. A very good driving album,, what with its propulsive guitar riffs and all.
