[kj] New Topic-Glastonbury-Muse

[Jim Harper]

Well, I'm happy to acknowledge their musical abilities (and the one guitarist's love of John McGeoch), and they certainly deserve credit for becoming one of the biggest British bands on the planet without compromising their sound or slipping into the same tedious morass as Coldplay or U2.
 
But by Christ, they're boring.
 
Jim.

Wow. "The Bends" is one of my favourite albums, and "Paranoid Android" one of the most astonishing singles ever recorded. I can see that Radiohead do little to dispel their more recent laptop nerd aura, but "Pablo Honey" is the only album of theirs I don't like. The moment when I utterly connected with them was when I saw them doing "My Iron Lung" at a Smash Hits party. Jaw-dropping, both for me and the entire audience, although not necessarily for the same reason. There's a chord they strike with me, predicated on melancholy, I think, to the extent that I've forgiven them for ripping off the "Shot By Both Sides" riff in "Just". 


Muse are great fun, and are clearly mental, but are now veering a little close to Queen to be entirely comfortable for me.

What can I say? Radiohead bore the pants off me, and they have done since 'Creep'. They're dull.
