Absolution is my fav ablum its pure epic. Im not too fond of the lastest one The Resistance, i mean dont get me wrong it has some great songs on it but most of them are a little too mainstream for Muse.
I'd have to agree that Absolution is one of their best albums but I find their music to be pretty redundant and predictable throughout a good portion of each of their albums. The lead singer/songwriter uses practically the same chord changes in just different keys. He really enjoys using those major thirds to add drama and theatrics to his music but it gets a little boring after a while.
Don't get me wrong though, I think they're pretty rad. Probably one of the best live shows I've seen.
But they didn't DO anything for Twilight. In fact I'm sure that they had little say in their buying the royalties to use the song. It existed LONG before the movie came out.. So it's not like they wrote it specifically for Meyer or anything like that.
