Muse is hard as heck to rank. Because every album has the good shit and then the really good shit. So while the songs don't blend together, it's hard to separate these two categories. Even if he sings about the Illuminati a little too much, Matt Bellamy is a rock music genius and that deserves to be said. I feel bad having some of these songs in the bottom half here!

  1. Supermassive Black Hole - Not sure why this is so polarizing. It's a super kinky song about sex, about being magnetized by an attractive tush. It's good, clean fun.
  2. Map of the Problematique
  3. Knights of Cydonia - Space cowboys! Right?
  4. Starlight
  5. Soldier's Poem - Would be lower if it was longer. This one doesn't overstay its welcome.
  6. Invincible
  7. City of Delusion - I mean this is clearly about Congress, and it is as he says. Really.
  8. Take a Bow
  9. Glorious
  10. Hoodoo
  11. Assassin
  12. Exo-Politics

Drones would be a better fit here I think. That was a very well received album, both critically and with the general fanbase
Loved Drones. "Aftermath" is an underrated masterpiece - and was precisely why Bellamy hired Mutt Lange as his co-producer.

That said I hadn't heard Black Holes in forever. It was good to revisit. This is why "Muse" is synonymous with "good music." Drones is as well.

Also, Fool: Hope the new meds kick in and work wonders for you, and that your job stabilizes. (I also hope they're paying you for the extra work you're doing.)
