1. Just saw them and I must admit that it was the worst I've ever seen them, but it was still pretty good. They still have it as live performers, they're just transforming into theatrics now, trying to be U2. Set was pretty dodgy I though - rather woefully structured. Isolated System terribly placed, no Hysteria, and The Globalist was just the biggest waste of time. I think they're quite honestly losing it, just running out of ideas all over the board. Shame, because that Barrowlands show last year was one of the best I've ever seen.

    Mirrored.
  3. I think I've found my favourite Muse song....'Map Of The Problematique'. Still getting through all the albums - slow starter.
  4. It's a song that keeps growing and growing on me, too. Probably my favourite - although Stockholm Syndrome....
  5. I used to hate Map of the Problematique, only until recently. Love it, was glad to get it last night.
  6. I saw that you got it - as well as Bliss and Stockholm. I wanted all three of these in Toronto. Got none.

    That's a sin
  8. Belfast got shafted

    That Barrowlands gig, just like Belfast's the day earlier, was just 15 or 16 straight rockers with no theme or theatrics whatsoever... That's definitely the route the hardcore fans want them to go, and the opposite to what they're going actually!
  10. I've not listened to a lot of Muse, but I've listened through Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. Both were very good.

    Yeah, it was a dream come true. Different environment in an arena gig. I'm not a big fan of the drones concept, they need to scale it down on the next tour I think

    Come to think of it, I don't think Muse knows how to scale things down properly. I mean, Drones was advertised as scaled down, but even still it feels like the stage is too big for them at times.
