Showbiz: Origin of Muse
If I had to compare singer-guitarist-songwriter Matthew Bellamy's voice to anybody it would be Grant-Lee Phillips. Like Phillips, Bellamy balances the ability the sing with the sense to do so without overextending. Bellamy is certainly talented, but without the rest of the members of Muse there to...

Hate This And I'll HATE You! Grrrrr....
Let's talk about Muse. How good are they? Pretty good. How talented is lead singer/pianist/guitarist/just about every other instrument-ist Matt Bellamy? Pretty talented. What was their debut album like? Pretty awesome.
1999's Showbiz was the world's first glimpse of this eccentric Welsh...

The best rock debut since Radiohead's Pablo Honey
It is a rare occurence that I genuinely enjoy a song the first time i hear it. However, Muses's unintended (track 07) proved to be an exception. It was the first song of their's I had heard and is a prime example of the band's talent.
Having listened to and enjoyed a couple more tracks...

A Motivated Evocative Novel Band
We can?t say Muse are uninspired. As newcomers to the music industry they have their instances in this, their debut album, of sudden inspiration from the greats. The musical track is certainly reminiscent of the principal style as Radiohead and Nirvana.
As good as these specific songs are...

Muse Could Be Your New Unintended Favorite
It's not often that I find a band that sweeps me off my feet as Muse did. With their version of dramatic Brit-rock, they were huge in the UK for quite some time before they were even heard of in America. Showbiz was the band's debut album, which made the band popular, but drew in a lot of unfair... Read full review »
There's no biz like Muse's Showbiz
When I heard Muse's "Map of the Problematique" I got really excited and got their Black Holes and Revelations CD, only to be quite disappointed. I read other reviews that claimed their earlier CDs were better, so in the hopes that they'd at least have a handful of songs that truly ruled like "Map... Read full review »
How I learned to stop worrying and love MUSE
A long time ago, well, actually only four years ago, a band called Muse emerged, and were scoffed at for being Radiohead imitators. Maybe fairly. But a year ago, with the album Origin of Symmetry the scoffing masses swallowed their own words, and resurfaced claiming they knew Muse would be the... Read full review »
You Could have Been No.1 If You Found The Time
This is the debut album from Muse, Showbiz released in 1999 onto an unsuspecting market and almost straight away the tag "The New Radiohead" was attached to the band. However Bellamy, Howard and Wolstenholme weren't going to let that put them off.
In fact they were going to become a band...

Fans Of Radiohead Take Note!
I finally listened to the young English band Muse, and their debut album Showbiz, after much prodding from friends who said that they sounded like the "next" Radiohead. I have listened to this album at least twenty times in the last few days, and it has perplexed me every single second. It's true... Read full review »
Muse are "getting strong in every way"
Muse, a trio of twenty-somethings from Devon, England, are definitely going places. And contrary to what you may have heard from cynical critics up and down the country, they sound nothing like Radiohead. The only plausible comparison between the two groups is that the impressive voice of singer /... Read full review »
