Muse - Dead Star / In Your World

The band most likely to be Radiohead are of course Muse, largely due to Matt Bellamy's vocals, these being strikingly like those of Thom Yorke.

In Your World sounds like what might have happened if Radiohead had continued with the sort of music on 'Pablo Honey' rather than disappeared into computers. There are big, ballsy guitars and bass, angst-ridden and sometimes distorted vocals, and almost Metallica-like guitar solo bits.

Dead Star would be heavy metal if its rhythm was slower, and it's a much blacker effort. Again it's characterised by Yorke-like vocals. But it is the extraordinary cover version of Bacharach and David's 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' which sticks in the mind most from this release. Buy it for this at least.
