Product Details
Origin of Symmetry arrived at a pivotal moment for Muse, capturing the Devon trio mid-transformation from Radiohead-influenced alt-rock upstarts into the maximalist arena beast they'd become. Tracks like "Plug In Baby" and "Hyper Music" pushed Matthew Bellamy's guitar work and falsetto into genuinely uncharted territory, while the Leckie production kept just enough grit to ground the band's operatic ambitions before they went full stadium-scale on Absolution.
After 2004's U.S. breakthrough success with Absolution for U.K. favorite Muse, the band's second album, 2001's Origin of Symmetry, finally earned it's stateside release. Absolution had hit #1 U.K., "Time Is Running Out" reached the Top 10 and "Hysteria" the Top 20 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart, and Muse won two 2004 European MTV Awards, for Best European Alternative Act and Best U.K. & Ireland Act; Q Awards for Best Live Band, Best Album, Best Producer and Best Act in the World Today, and was nominated for four NME Awards and a Brit. That success won Origin of Symmetry, produced by John Leckie (Radiohead) as was 1999's Showbiz, a belated 2005 U.S. release.
