      Although 'Showbiz' was the band's debut, it was their follow up 'Origins Of Symmetry' that really catapulted them into the limelight. Featuring a perfect blend of noise rock and spacious ballads this sophomore effort gave the public a real taste on what Muse had to offer. Even the cover of 'Feeling Good' manages to showcase their style in such a way that it is made their own and with fellow singles 'Bliss', 'New Born' and the instant classic 'Plug In Baby' also included throughout the run time it was the moment where they really hit their stride. From the insanity driven 'Space Dementia' to the bold & brash 'Darkshines' 'Origin Of Symmetry' is a raw emotional roller-coaster that could be considered some of Muse's best work and is some of the most creative hard rock to come out of the South West.

        Does anyone know about a Rhino B002BAODPA 2015 Press? I think a 180gr one x2LP?

          I feel it is a master issue , it sounds quite flat , compressed and strained , something like Red Hot Chilly Peppers' albums ... and I'm not comparing to a Yello or Tortoise production ...............
