Origin off Symmetry

Origin off Symmetry is the second album of MUSE, left in 2001. Plug In Baby , New Born , Bliss , Feeling Good and Hyper Music are the individual ones of this album (in the order of publication); the last ( Feeling Good / Hyper Music ) is double-HAVE-SIDe i.e. double-individual.

Maverick Record , the editor of their first album in the United States, required of MUSE to withdraw all the vocal parts a little “fluette” for the American version because Maverick Records thought that the individual ones would not be enough salesmen because of certain songs where the voice of Matthew Bellamy is particularly acute. MUSE categorically refused their request because they did not want to compromise their artistic integrity. For this reason, the disc was published only in September 2005 in the United States.

Feeling Good is a resumption of a song of Nina Simone. Nestlé tried to use it in one of its publicity for the coffee in England. Nestlé asked for first once if it could use it, but the group refused to yield its rights. However Nestlé continued to use it, at this point in time the group prosecuted them. They were considered to be guilty and had to remove the song of their pub and to pay with the group 500.000 £ (that is to say 756.000€) of damages (that the group with given to association Oxfam ). At this point in time Nestlé replaced the version of MUSE by a doubtful imitation. Feeling Good is the single song where Dominic Howard (beater), made all the vocal contributions.

The group with tested during all the album. Dominic Howard with increased its kit of battery what widens its panel of sounds, Matthew Bellamy uses an organ during the song Megalomania , which has as a subject the anti-religion. During all the album, the low one is the driving one of melody, whereas the guitar adds an additional layer to the song. Christopher Wolstenholme uses distortion and other effects on its low to give him more presence, of heaviness, making it possible the guitar to deviate from the principal air and to play of the higher notes.

Double-individual ( Dead Star / In Your World ) left after the individual ones New Born to promote the album/DVD Hullabaloo.

In 2006, the journalists of the magazine Q voted that the album was with # 73 place des 100 better albums never creates.

Moreover, it is, for the moment, the only album of the group which has a psychedelic tendency.
