Rit - check out some Muse songs: Plug In Baby, Hysteria, Sing For Absolution, Muscle Museum, Citizen Erased. I'd love to know what you think.

That was an amazing mix, but I suppose I'm glad, in the end, that I went the long way and made my own purchases. Why, I'd never have heard "Thoughts of Dying Atheist" otherwise...

listened to them, JayLLM. I liked them all except for "Sing For Absolution".
i'd say my fave was "Muscle Museaum". i thought there was a huge debt to Bends era Radiohead though.

When it comes to the first album (Showbiz) I couldn't disagree with you on the Radiohead thing.
Stuff like "Citizen Erased" I would maybe liken more to the longer songs on Mellon Collie..., if I was looking for an influence. By the time of "Butterflies and Hurricanes" I dunno where that stuff comes from... maybe Rachmaninov crossed with "Bohemian Rhapsody"? It's good stuff.

I liked it. I'll be investigating Showbiz and Origins of Symmetry.

sweet sexy jesus. this is a little rant that some reader wrote online, referring to Stylus magazine.
i agree with it so much, i'm just going to repost it here and let it stand for itself:
I'm not exactly sure why I continue to read Stylus. My best guess is that I'm fascinated that a site so aesthetically pleasing and structurally well-conceived can be so devoid of reasonable or intelligent criticism. It's as though somebody dumped a bunch of money into a web site, built it, and it is now in functional trial mode, with a bunch of strange, quasi-intelligent 15 year-olds writing the material until the site's benefactor feels it's ready and begins hiring actual critics... I keep waiting to come to the site one day to find that the actual critics have arrived, and the site can finally hold its ground against Pitchfork. Instead, I find a site nearly devoid of cogent criticism, which consistently embarasses itself by running features on music like ELO and ABBA. Get it together guys. This is pathetic.
