Today's prog rock at its best. The urge to compare Muse to Radiohead is almost irresistible, but try. The group's creativity and range, and the lead singer's voice, soar high above mere mimicry.
Lyrical prose, passionate/haunting stories of characters that won't fade away. Its subtleties don't translate well into film, tho they tried; it's evident that author Ondaatj is an award-winning poet.
Beautiful historical fantasy, anime at its best. Visual marvel with layered, thought-provoking story and strong characters, manages to avoid polarized good vs. evil. Light years ahead of Disney/Pixar!
Psychedelia+Electronica; a tight band behind a mellow, beautiful lead singing voice -- addictive and haunting at times. The fantastic album fully showcases the group's varied talents.
The lines are brilliant, the performances superb, the action sequences thrilling, and the inside jokes absolutely delightful! A dramatic, laugh-hard, occasional tear-jerker of a magnificent joyride!
Vivid imagery & profound symbolism are masterfully weaved together. Read it out loud to feel the syllables roll off your tongue in perfect rhythm; read it again slowly to unravel layers of meaning.
One of the most visually beautiful films I've ever seen, with impeccable performance from all actors involved, accompanied by moody and fitting music by Michael Galasso.
