Man they totally bite on radiohead, and their lyrics lack the depth and meaning of radiohead, but the music is overall more pleasant and not qutie as abstract and distortiony. I can listen to it longer than I can radiohead, but the lyrics are meaningless in muse.
2 good bands though for sure. When I first heard muse I thought Thom Yorke had done a side project or something only to find out it was a seperate band @_@;
Same here, Radiohead is a lot smoother/relaxing, whereas Muse is more alternative, dark, loud, emo... I really love it though, Absolution is my favourite album, closely followed by Origin of Symmetry.
