Reviews"...the trio's dark, complex sound, kick-ass musicality...and hook-laden songs...combine to make SHOWBIZ one of the more compelling rock records of the year." - Rating: B+, "There's no getting around it, Muse sound...a lot like Radiohead....In the end it comes down to songs, and there's a lot of strong ones here...", Included in Q's "50 Best Albums of 2000"-"...The Best Rock Debut in Years...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...SHOWBIZ is no maverick masterstroke, but it is passionate and loud and also unexpectedly gentle - a great first shot from three guys barely old enough to drink on their U.S. tour."
Well I'm biased....I think Muse are anywhere from amazing to very very good, ! So with that in mind I feel that this album is a very fine slice of Muse in typically turbulent form. One minute it's high impact Led Zep style rock, but then you've got Matt Bellamy's vocals which really redefine the whole creative direction, inlaying with amazing tenderness one minute, fury the next, in whatever incredible direction he fancies at the time. Not to forget some astonishing guitar, superlative drums, agonisingly beautiful symphonic classical influences all set against a nihilistic, explosive and apocalyptic vision.....I mean, yes, it's Gorgeous!!
