That is one tough decision. At the minute I would say Absolution; its just a perfect album, and I adore every track. OoS is on basically the same level, but with the downside of Feeling Good. Although it has the fantastic Citizen Erased, Bliss, Micro Cuts and PIB.
Oh, now I don't know, I should not have read this thread!

Absolution shades it.

Its a difficult one but for me Origin Of Symmetry just shades it. Its more ecclectic and seems to have a mind of its own whereas Absolution sounds more refined but restricted. Absolution is epic but Origin is both epic and vibrant. both fantastic albums though.

OoS for the full album, but Absolution has a couple of my fave tracks on it but BH&R has my all time fave track on it.

In this day and age I don't think it matters as they are all on my PC/Phone on shuffle mode

Good choice. It's one of the best on BH&R.

I love the synth arpeggios at the beginning and usually listen to it with my headphones on with the volume cranked upto 11 and it blows your head off when the guitar come in

Top to bottom (not including resistance)

1. Showbiz
2. BH&R
3. OoS
4. Absolution

I didn't realise Absolution would be last... I still think it's an amazing album... just doesn't seem to flow as well. I love the songs on it, but I never listen to it as ana album any more.

Muse have been great throughout and the only album which I didn't care too much for would be Absolution. Musically they are so much better than some of the bands this country is producing and I can only hope they will be some kind of influence to the next generation of bands coming through.

Erm...

Can't decide! Origin of Symmetry has some classic tunes on it (Citizen Erased to name one) but my vote would be for Absolution, due to it being the first Muse album I ever bought and the fact that it has Stockholm Syndrome on it.

I think it's ok. It certainly grew on me.

It starts on a high, dips in the middle and end on a high.

Take A Bow is a fave of mine and I like Starlight and Map Of The Problematique
I don't really listen to the middle tracks but I like City Of Delusion and Knights Of Cydonia, infact they are probably my 2nd & 3rd faves on the album.

wrong.

Citizen erased. Not just the best song on the album but easily the best song Muse have ever done.
