My Favourite Lyrics On Every Muse Song
I recently looked at my favourite lyric on every Bowie song (you can see that blog post and its rules here), and I enjoyed making it so much that I’ve decided to make it a series!

One of the reasons Muse’s albums are so good is the closing track – a great final song will leave a positive impression on the listener, and Muse certainly know how to close an album. I’ve ranked their opening tracks, it’s time for the closers. Check out my other Muse lists here: Bad 9 –Continue reading “Muse Closing Tracks Ranked”
Muse Opening Songs Ranked
One of the constants in a Muse record is that the opening and closing tracks are going to be good. I’ll definitely get round to the closers, but for now let’s focus on the incredible introductions to Muse’s flawless discography.
