	Absolution (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Absolution is the third studio album (fourth overall) by English rock band Muse.
		Unlike previous albums, the recording and release of Absolution was not subject to constraining schedules, allowing the band to take as much time as they felt necessary to refine and alter their songs.
		The album reached #107 in the United States.

	Muse Absolution Review @ Serendipity Media www.serendipity.windwhispers.net
		Though Absolution was originally planned to be an uplifting set of songs, watching the war in Iraq play out on television quickly morphed the album into a claustrophobic and angry composition about doubting those in power, fearing you're facing the end times and wondering why no one seems to care as much as you do.
		Absolution is Muse's overwrought letter to a generation, hoping to show these baffled souls how to pull off a revolution and clinging to the hope that they don't remain alone in longing to usher in a new era.
		A doomsday concept album concerned with igniting a lazy generation into caring enough to get off their butts and at least try to save the world, Absolution almost plays out like Bellamy has been beamed back from the future to warn of the horrors our apathy is about to inflict.

	Muse - Absolution : album review
		Absolution is, quite simply, the most mind-boggling, grandiose and dare we say it, important, record of the year; the sort of opus that Queen might have made had they been 25 years younger and brought up on Radiohead and Metallica as well as classical music and opera.
		If Sing For Absolution was the calm, then Stockholm Syndrome is most certainly the storm - a whirlwind maelstrom of blazing guitar riffs, operatic vocals, classical piano and an incendiary rhythm section, that reads like a Bohemian Rhapsody for the Noughties, albeit a heavy metal one.
		Absolution is the sound created by three young men who have imaginations that stretch beyond the boundaries self-imposed by most of us, and, equally amazingly, who have the skill to turn their vision into a musical reality.

	Muse: Absolution (2004): Reviews
		A commercial and critical success in the UK upon its release in the fall of 2003, 'Absolution' marks the third album for the English rockers (who frequently draw comparisons to Radiohead--but then again, who doesn't?).
		Absolution is an emotional, philosophical, sophisticated, poetic, and beautiful piece of rock music.
		'Absolution' is Muse's most accomplished album to date, and kicks their - at the time - excellent debut album 'Showbiz' into the ground.

	Absolution: triple j music reviews
		Absolution is their mind and speaker blowing third album.
		Whether the searing chords of this trio's guitars scar you ears or the unfettered nuances of the vocals damage you emotionally, Abosolution is an album not to miss.
		This album entails a wider contrast between the 'rocking' heavy of Muse and the 'heart-wrenching' melodies of the previous tow albums.

	Muse Absolution Album Review - SoundsXP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If ‘Absolution’ could be rendered in bricks and mortar they would seem but a random scatter of children’s building blocks.
		Album closer Ruled By Secrecy with its Philip Glass-like keyboard arpeggios and dreamy vocals could, but for the burst of romantic piano, be from the ‘Kid A’/’Amnesiac’ sessions.
		Muse haven’t made an album, they’ve made an object of worship to which all others should bow down in obeisance, erecting gleaming temples in its honour.

	Muse @ Carling Academy, Islington
		In what's looking to be their last chance to catch muse in such an intimate venue, a specially invited audience of Xfm listeners packed the Carling Islington Academy on September 22 to see one of the most intense live bands in the country up close and personal.
		With Muse's third album, 'Absolution' providing both a substantially expanded audience and a new clutch of ferociously ambitious songs for their live arsenal, this was Muse and crowd together on absolutely top form.
		'Absolution's 'Plug In Baby' if ever there was one - an epic, pummelling melody winds through the song like an angry sea snake; to simply call it a riff is an insulting understatement, this clarion call to ruthless, undiluted ambition is effectively built aoruhd an extended guitar solo.

	Muse - Absolution Review - sputnikmusic
		The first single to be taken from the album, on download only, SS sees a typically layered, violent sound, with the trademark Bellamy vocals wailing in the foreground.
		If you're talking about the list of albums that members also liked, then that's generated by the database, based on a whole load of factors including what pages people look at, lists of favourite albums, album ratings etc. The reviewer doesn't pick them.
		This album has to be one of the greatest of the 21st century.

		Absolution is 52 minutes and 10 seconds of pure British rock enjoyment.
		The saddest part about the creation of the Absolution album is that it took me a freaking year to find it.
		Again, the entire album is excellent, so it is more of a testament to the quality of the album that I would analyze each song individually.

		This album is three stars because I heard their full potential in Absolution and BHAR first.
		This live album from 2001 is, for me, an absolutely stunning performance from a band who are prepared to push the boundaries of Rock.
		Certainly one of the great live albums of the new millennium from one of the great bands of these modern times, a tremendous experience in today's age - real musicians playing real instruments and playing with energy and passion in front of a very appreciative audience at the "Zenith" in Paris.

		The album is slightly revived by the mellower “Sing for Absolution”.
		The first good song on the album, it combines haunting vocals with simple instrumentation to give a surprising power, but once again, seems to be lacking a vital quality.
		“Absolution” is an album portraying a change of style, a maturation, and a new simplicity on the part of Bellamy, Howard and Wolstenholme.

	Absolution by Muse CD
		With ABSOLUTION, however, the UK-based group proves that it's much more than the sum of its influences, delivering a work that revels in the enormity of its ambition, the breadth of its sonic palette, and the intensity of its emotional resonance.
		This album is not bad, but to be honest it is not that great either.
		This album will only appeal to certain people, it is not a classic by any means.

		That all means that Absolution actually blows by any early Radiohead comparisons that others would make.
		Absolution's are far more accessible and integrated into the songs, rather than treated as special musical bridges (as in OK Computer).
		Excited by this new perception, I fed my curiosity with a YouTube session that confirmed my suspicions: Muse is a brilliant band that distills some of the most artistic music of the `90s and combines it with long-standing rock traditions to formulate a distinctive 2K "electric" rock sound.

	Muse, Absolution: Album Review : Soul Shine Magazine
		Let’s hope it’s better balanced than their most successful release thus far, Absolution, which yields many gems but is more often bipolar in its musical style.
		And it’s not a coincidence that the two best songs on the album are two of the singles.
		Unfortunately, the majority of the album seesaws between hyperactive ass-kicking and sleepy boredom; the snoozefest of “Sing For Absolution” competing with the piano-key mashing of “Butterflies & Hurricanes,” the grandiose symphony of “Apocalypse Now” with the hushed melancholy of “Blackout.”

	Muse - Absolution (Album Review)
		It probably isn't supposed to be a particularly comfortable album, but for the most part, Absolution just tends to sound like the sort of frustration only a fourteen-year-old can truly experience.
		Absolution has a strong start and a strong closing act, and there even moments in the middle that almost bring it up to ass-kicking level, but unfortunately there are just a couple too many weak spots.
		Besides, you just can't feel sorry for their emotional wailings, as they tend to follow by simply rolling out the Rock (note the capital R there) and slap you round the face for being such a girl.

	Muse : Absolution - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Though some may still consider them Radiohead mimics, obviously Muse continue to strike a nerve with their alternative hard rock audience, here releasing their third album of heavy guitars, haunted harmonics, and paranoid musings in Absolution.
		Frontman Matt Bellamy and company stick to the same disturbed, and sometimes disturbing, formula that's worked in the past: the emotional intensity and style of Radiohead, a rock thunder descended from Black Sabbath, and the baroque drama of Queen.
		Many listeners will probably prefer to tackle the album in small doses, and only the most headstrong won't require a breather.

		Webster defines the word “muse” as “to think closely, study in silence or meditate.” I wish I was doing either of those instead of listening to the band Muse’s fourth album Absolution - an album full of grunge Euro-rock layered with a blanket of fuzz distoring almost all that is good.
		The last song, "Ruled By Secrecy," is by far the album's best, mostly because it is nothing like the rest of the album.
		Muse does a good job taking a decent album and distorting it to a bunch of noise with no real direction at all.

		If there's a weakness here, it's that the songwriting remains inconsistent, but this is usually covered up by musicianship and studio wizardry that leave Coldplay languishing in Muse's dust.
		I think the best tracks on this sensational album would have to be : Time is running out.
		This album is full of an irritating T.Yorke like way of singing (breathing included)and an overly produced sound.

	:\|: Suburbia :\|: :: Muse - Absolution - Album Review :: Staticfiends.com's Message Boards/Forums ::
		Five years ago, when MUSE’s debut album hit shelves in the states, many critics dismissed the band as a RADIOHEAD knockoff after getting one of earful of singer/guitarist/keyboardist MATT BELLAMY’s falsetto.
		Those similarities did, and still do exist, but while Radiohead has abandoned rock music entirely for a more ambient, electronic and obscure style, Muse has spent the last five years crafting their intelligent mixture of classical grunge fusion, mixing in singalong arena rock and operatic compositions.
		After three albums and a steady progression, Radiohead-clone should be forever stricken from Muse’s legacy.
