If You're Reading This You Must Love Muse,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dead Stra/In Your World (Audio CD)
Whether or not you purchase this CD depends on how big a Muse fan you are. If you are a obsessive Muse fan that must own any release you can find, buy it!!! Otherwise, it kind of depends on what you are looking for...The studio versions of Dead Star and In Your World are fantastic, but you can find them on other singles/EP's, too. The live versions of these two songs are from the Oct 2001 concert at Le Zenith in Paris, so if you already have the Hullabaloo CD, you don't need these (unless you want duplicates). To be perfectly honest, I really didn't care for Can't Take My Eyes Off of You, but thats because I really don't like for the song in general and no reflection on Muse. They did the best they could. Overall I'm still glad I purchased it, The studio version of Dead Star alone was worth it, it is quite different from the live version. Also quite nifty that the lyrics are printed in both English and Japanese inside. Be prepared for a long wait for shipping, mine took one month.

...regardless of the price...by far one of Muse's greatest...,
By OMNIGOSS (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Stra/In Your World (Audio CD)
...the small transition between the perfection of "Origin of Symetry" and the very gradual downhill slope of "Absolution" showed Muse with a live CD known as "Hullabaloo" which showed some of the B-Sides and rarities of the band...although they were nothing special the live versions were impressive and they craved me getting more...
...then I heard the song "Dead Star"...and it wowed me...by far one of the best Muse songs to date...the only problem was it was incredibly rare to find as it was only released as an EP in France and Japan (thank you so much)... ...but I'll review the tracks now: Dead Star 10/10: Amazing from the first heavy riff to the epic chorus...this song doesn't need explaining...it can all be heard... In your World 10/10: Starts off with a quiet piano ostinato that very snappily turns into a guitar riff as the rest of the band kicks in...it then all calms down...Chris grooving to himself in the background as Matt lets out an absolute swoon of a voice...it then turns into a falsetto yell and the chorus is dropped in...it goes from quiet to loud throughout the song...but like everything Muse has done before the downhill slope...it is phenomenal... Can't take my eyes off you 8/10: When I heard this on an anti-Smoking advertisement I honestly thought this was the original of the song...but in contrast to the original...the bridge to the chorus involes a tremolo picked guitar instead of brass instruments and the bass is significantly heavier in the chorus... ...if you are a Muse fan of any kind...it should be your basic instinct to buy this...and this is not an exageration as when it comes to critcising Muse I am equally as critical (anyone who read my review for Black Holes and Revelations will understand)...

Furious,
By alexliamw (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Star Pt. 1 (Audio CD)
At first, this double-A side from Radiohead-except-not-so-happy turned space-grunge trio seems a bit indistinguishable from their second album, but after a few listens its charms begin to unfold. In Your World is a tortured, Bach-inspired rock number, whilst the undeniably superior Dead Star, is pure sonic assault: the heaviest they've ever done, raging in its own fury with choppy chords verging on metal in the verse, and a vicious, screaming hookline of 'it's coming your way!' sung over madly distorted guitars and thrashing, pounding drums, leading into the angriest chorus conceivable and a recurring Korn-like riff. Origin of Symmetry might have laid to rest the Radiohead ghosts, but this batters them round the room with a fury so visceral it threatens to turn its rage on anyone who would ever dare to disagree.
