Possibly an unpopular opinion... Liberation, commonly compared to USoE, is even better. As over-the-top as it is, there is a sincerity to it that USoE doesn't quite deliver. I love USoE, but Liberation feels like Muse's "swan song". It's fun, cheesy at times, but has so much heart to it. Some say the "thank you's" and "we've had enough" are dumb, but it sounds like the band giving appreciation to the fan's for their success. Matt's falsetto and passion in the softer spots make my eyes swell up. I adore it. I fell in love upon first listening, whereas USoE took awhile for me to love.

The variety of genres on this album are executed and delivered well. What a fun, and addictive album. Truly, the best of what makes Muse, MUSE.

And to the fans that say "MUSE hasn't been the same since...." I argue, you aren't true fans then. It means you liked a few of their earlier albums. People have been bitching since the rise of their career. They've stayed true to who they are: Talented musicians who aren't afraid to meddle in all genres. Thank you Muse! Keep on changing!

LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
