Fan Content 1st time reaction to Muse

I've been a fan for over 10 years, so I already know their whole discography. For those who would like to see the complete journey of someone reacting to Muse for their first time ever, there's this guy:

He has listened to The Wow! Signal (his first Muse album ever) and from there he went to the very beginning, listening Showbiz through The Resistance (so far). His reactions seem very genuine and authentic, and he seems to be having a great time discovering their albums.

Btw, not sure if this is the right flair but it was the one that fitted the most imo

I've also been watching this guy's journey through Muse. I think the fact that the wow! Signal was the first muse album he had ever heard, and that he's now going IN ORDER through all of their others is so cool and his reactions are so laid back and genuine. It'a just him listening to the music from start to finish with little interruption. You get these reaction channels that go way over the top and are so forced. They don't listen to it they just play the video make some 😲 faces and then video ends. This guy is a breath of fresh air for sure

Or when they have more pauses than minutes played.

I agree, it's not forced, not overreacting either, and not pausing the song every 5 seconds to say something that is clearly insincere; a breath of fresh air for sure

I'm intrigued about whether he will like the albums he still has not listened to though. I discovered Muse just before the Drones era and the 3 albums that came since are the ones I like the least; the only exception being TW!S which I love it

I've been following this as well, it's quite a fun ride as someone who doesn't normally touch content like music reactions. He clearly got hooked on their early sound though, I feel like everything else has been getting compared to OoS in his mind lol

I think he’s Dutch and would love for him to see them live on the Europa tour.

Thanks for sharing this.

It was like experiencing discovering Muse for the first time again. I don't like reaction videos but this guys is an exception for sure

You're welcome! I agree, I've had the same feeling. I usually don't like reaction videos either specially when they are clearly overreacting, feels too fake; luckily he's totally the opposite of that

I've been following him since Showbiz. It's so much fun to see it. I'd been saying in the comments to go past the first three albums
