Perhaps not in the UK...what about continental Europe then? Muse is what I would call quietly popular. They've had enough hits to earn some gold and platinum albums but they don't get a lot of mainstream press. They're like Rush where they have a sizable, dedicated following but don't get the same hype as a lot of their peers do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder if rock were still as commercially viable as it was in the 90s if they'd be more of a household name over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I've liked some songs, but I haven't been a regular, and daily listener of them. In, of, and since the 2000's, I wouldn't say they are the best band, and group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only hit that I think had any staying power. Everything else probably got played good for a month or two then faded away from the radio. A while back I ran through some of their "hits" on YouTube and Madness was the only one I recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hear The Resistance and Uprising on the radio sometimes, and Madness lasted on the radio probably right through the Drones cycle. But then we're in completely different radio markets and I'm a super-fan, so I'm probably a lot more likely to catch them on the radio anyway. And for Segue, I guess I'm not asking you so much as I'm just asking in general. I feel like they have all the makings of a very popular rock band and yet they're not that popular.

The general consensus here is just "meh" and I don't know any enthusiastic fans, just people like me who thought they were good at one time. Their live concerts sell, but they are like Green Day: the old fans will show up whatever. When I saw Muse live, I remember there being a lot more fans at the start of the concert than at the end. All style, no substance. I remember standing by some older guys who spent a lot of their time with their eyes rolling. Honest to god one of the biggest wastes of my time and money ever spent.

I don't know about the last two getting a resounding meh. I'm over on the forums on Muse's website sometimes and people there had very strong opinions about Drones when it came out. Simulation Theory was less divisive, with some clear favorites for many people in Break It To Me and The Dark Side, as well as the opener and closer. I agree the general hype around them seems to dwindle with each passing year, but I think the super fans like me are still out there just waiting for the next show or album release. The box set they did last year for their first two albums seemed to do very well and win over a lot of fans who miss the old Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
