Album: Absolution (2003)
Tuning: C-A-D-G

No Picture Marc Average	#1 by Marc Costello at Feb 5, 1971 at 1:19 PM EST
	God, I ALWAYS say this, but Matt Bellamy is one of the most ingenious musicians I've ever had the privalege to listen to...But yeah, I love the classical/alternative style of his piano playing--Just gorgeous.

No Picture drew Average	#2 by drew huh at Nov 19, 1973 at 9:39 AM EST
	Actually, this song is based on a book called "Rule By Secrecy", so it's about conspiracy and cover-ups.

No Picture Josh Wanna Be	#3 by Josh Allen at Sep 18, 1981 at 9:04 AM EST
	This is the perfect, peaceful end to a perfect album - it is easily the best muse song and one of the best songs ever.When I hear this song, i get the idea of a web of secrets and lies that have taken over someones life and they want to kill themself because of the drama and then the quiet end.This song is TRULY BEAUTIFUL!

No Picture M.Fett Wanna Be	#4 by M.Fett B.Fett at May 15, 1983 at 6:18 AM EST
	I heard what this was about on the radio or something a while ago. It's about this guy who comes home from work to his wife with blood all over his hands and stuff after he just goes crazy and kills everyone because the feeling that he isn't in control of his life, that higher powers are controlling everything he does has finally driven him insane.

No Picture Anorexorcist Average	#5 by Anorexorcist at Mar 28, 1994 at 7:47 AM EST
	That's very interesting, LDG. I don't really know what the song is about, but I have to say that it is amazing. It's probably one of my favorites of all time.

No Picture it Lead Player	#6 by it died at Dec 16, 2005 at 1:55 AM EST
	i always love the build up towards the end of the song, i just picture the end of the world i spose, i think it depicts the panic and confusion etc. that everyone would be feeling as it happened 'change in the air and they'll hide everywhere and no one knows who's in control' that probably makes no sense to anyone, but thats what i think :P its a perfect end to the album, it really is an amazing song

No Picture Chris (a.k.a. " Wanna Be	#7 by Chris (a.k.a. "Spikes") Muhler at Jun 30, 2006 at 5:48 PM EST
	I love the way this builds and it manages to sound so menacing. Its, like moshme84 said, beyond amazing. I also love the fade into nothing at the end. so creepy. but so dam good!
