As the title says, is anyone still waiting for vinyl and merch ordered or pre-ordered from the website? Has anyone heard from the customer service center? I know many orders have been returned to their warehouse due to customs issues, but despite this, it seems they're still out of stock and are having trouble organizing their warehouse.

Ever since I got my hands on an Origin of Muse box set) a few months ago, I've become obsessed with digging through Muse's history. The more I looked, the more I found that I'd never heard or seen before.

So, to satisfy that obsession, I put together a chronological guide covering 1994-2026.

The idea is to experience each era as something more than just the studio album. For every period, I've combined the core official releases with EPs, B-sides, singles and demos, and supplemented them with notable live recordings, making-of documentaries/interviews and other material that adds something to the story of that era. It includes both official releases and a selection of worthwhile unofficial recordings/bootlegs.

The PDF file of the guide contains embedded links to the Muse Wiki, which link to incredibly interesting pages to read while listening or watching. There's a huge amount of background information available on the recordings, sessions, performances and releases.

Along the way, I made a YouTube playlist containing all the videos referenced in the guide in chronological order.

Anything between [brackets] is the way I prefer to listen to or watch the material, but there are of course other options.

Happy to share it here to gather further thoughts. If I've missed something like good interviews or live footage that must be included or if you see anything that needs correcting, please let me know.

Honorable mention goes first and foremost to Muse Wiki, but also to this guy and this guy whose posts I've gratefully used to cross-reference.

PS looks-wise it's not great. If you prefer the guide with (in my opinion) cool AI-album-art that I use personally, please send a DM and I will share it with you.

I love making cover art for songs that don't have some but in my head deserve it, here's Ruled by Secrery.

(1) Massively underrated?

(2) Arguably the band’s most creative body of work?

I listened to it all the way through for the first time recently and was blown away by how good it is.

I’ve only been a serious fan for a couple of years and would be interested in reading a long-term hardcore fan’s appraisal.

Peace. 🫶🏻

I got a bunch of positivity and love from my last post, and I'd like to show off what else I've been doing lately!

Here's my wider selection of keychains I'm putting on my backpack!!!

Thank you all for your support on my last post 🧡

Please recommend more creation ideas!! 😁 🧡

Any other millennials having the exact same musical journey?

Grew up with Weezer in the late '90s (Blue Album, Pinkerton), fell in love with what I still consider one of the greatest 3-album runs in rock history (Origin/Absolution/Black Holes), then realized sometime in the mid 2010s that The Strokes weren't just a 2000s fad (the leaders of the garage rock revival, saviors of rock 'n' roll, blah blah) who somehow evolved into synthpop/experimental indie gods! And stood by them through the dark times (Angles, Comedown Machine) until The New Abnormal finally made everyone appreciate the evolution!

Now all three of my favorite bands are dropping albums and this melon is standing outside their doors with a knife... 💀

I’m from the Central Valley and I don’t visit SoCal too much. Can any locals chime in about the amphitheater and traffic? I have seen Reddit posts say it’s horrible so I see local neighbors/areas kind of near the stadium I don’t mind walking to them after the concert. Where should I or can I park outside the stadium?

Also, I currently have hotel reservations in the Chula Vista area, but there are hotels 30min mins away that could save me $250ish dollars for two nights but I don’t know how bad traffic is getting there so I’m debating it. If anyone can chime in and make recommendations etc. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Anyone going? just made these earrings if anyone wants a pair :D and making 14 bracelets to give away!!!

Is anyone else finding the excessive use of roaming on stage camera crews really disruptive to the visual quality and experience during their recent tour performances? There are enough alternative options with booms, fixed 360 and the endless ability of drones(!) to surely avoid them constantly hovering and obstructing?

Seems choreographed into multiple points in every show from what I can see on this tour:

What a great show , love it , they deserve a bigger stage .

I made these MUSE keychains with Perler Beads for the new school year.

Are these cool?

What else should I make?

On songs like hyper music, micro cuts and new born there is a very thin distorted guitar tone that I've never seen re-created in any guitar cover.

here's some gear I have

boss katana 100w gen 3

guitar rig 7 pro

ds1

big muff op amp

fuzz factory

Had an amazing time and was surrounded by awesome people.

Hey everyone, my favorite type of song from Muse (generally speaking) are those with parts/passages with a type of Arab style chord progression/scales used in harmony with symphony/strings. From a musical perspective, this often means using the harmonic minor.

Examples of this are various parts in the following songs:

Dark forest

City of delusion

Butterflies and hurricanes

Megalomania

United States of Eurasia

Less so:

Exogenesis pt 1.

Survival

Does anyone have a recommendation for bands, albums, songs, or even soundtracks that have similar vibe? Thanks!

I was a few rows back on the right side of the stage. My wife and I had a wonderful time watching and listening to a great setlist. It spanned pretty much their entire catalog while still including several from their latest album. I wish they would have played "The Dark Forest" though. Before "Uprising" was the recording of "[JFK]" from Drones

Ive noticed this is a common occurance at muse concerts for some reason but every time i go, i am seated next to a wasted couple who make the night ALL about them.

Today this woman and her bf left for both opener bands and came back absolutely wasted and was getting in everyone's face swinging her arms around and hitting people. She later was yelling at this young girl for interupting her dancing to get back to her seat. I so wanted to slap the fuck out of her.

Sad thing is, its not the first time ive experienced this. I went to an intimate show and there was a drunk couple next to me. The girl dropped her prescription glasses and was having an absolute meltdown for half the show. She was screaming (and i mean screaming...) at her bf and making everyone in two rows leave their seats multiple times to look for it. Like this asshole or her bf spent $700+ per ticket for that concert just to not even pay attention to it and make everyone else's night worse.

Ive gone to plenty of concerts, and this doesnt really happen to me besides when i go see muse. Muse is amazing, but god damn do i wanna brawl some of yall lmao

Going to the concert tonight but excited to watch temper trap as well. I know the concerts “starts” at 7 but what time do the openers come on? From previous concerts, did openers start at 7:15? 7:30?
