 'Muse were, I repeat were, a talented band... they managed to blend different influences into sophisticated music and, all in all, not devoid of creativity and originality.'

This review revisits Muse's debut album, Showbiz, highlighting its strong Radiohead influence blended with original hard rock and baroque elements. The reviewer praises key tracks like 'Sunburn' and 'Muscle Museum' for their maturity and emotional power. Although noting a decline in quality after the initial songs and the presence of filler material, the album is celebrated as a creative and ambitious start for the band. The reviewer doubts Muse will surpass the beauty of their first two albums but encourages a return to their roots. Discover the roots of Muse's legendary career by listening to Showbiz—explore the creativity and emotion in their powerful debut!

 The second track, “Do You Want To,” in my opinion, represents the pinnacle of their career, a total blast.
