No Picture Martin Average	#3 by Martin Mc Taggart at Aug 5, 2006 at 8:33 AM EST

No Picture † The Jester † Average	#4 by † The Jester † at Aug 16, 2006 at 6:40 PM EST
	This song kicks major ass.

No Picture ed Professional	#5 by ed evans at Aug 17, 2006 at 10:18 AM EST
	Pretty much spot on, plus nice job on transposing the synth part. The only correction I can see is that on the sixth line of the verse, the last note should be an Eb, not an E (so 6 on the A string, not 7).

No Picture Brendon Wanna Be	#6 by Brendon Cooper at Oct 31, 2006 at 3:32 AM EST
	I love this so much more than Supermassive Black Hole. The beginning is ridiculously awesome -- what a catchy melody...esp. amazing in the "what fools can be kings" part. But I feel like the song loses itself in the second part, where Bellamy is calling for resistance and that awesome melody from the first part vanishes. There, the song becomes familiar in the bad way, sounding like a lot of other unremarkable MUSE songs. And as for the meaning,the title's so amazing but the lyrics are like so bleh... some kinda call for resistance against some ineffecient authority...how old is that. Still, effing amazing song I guess -- I hopes it's indicative of what the rest of the album's gonan be like.

No Picture Minkin Rhythm Player	#7 by Minkin MQ at Nov 8, 2006 at 3:13 PM EST
	I think what they've done is, have Matt sing both lines, and layered them into one. Because I can hear both. I love this song, and yes the album did leak.

No Picture William Wanna Be	#8 by William Poop at Sep 28, 2007 at 5:21 PM EST
	This song is so epic. It reminds me of Butterflies and Hurricanes off their last album, which was my favorite on that one.
