I'm listening to it for the first time in months. It has struck me that it is in fact much better than Black Holes And Revelations. It covers so much more ground, and there is less filler, despite it being much longer. It also contains Stockholm Syndrome, one of the best rock songs of the decade, IMO.

On the other hand it could just be because I haven't heard it in so long. And yeah, there'll be a few anti-Muse posts here, and Origin Of Symmetry is still better than both, but I just thought I'd share this realisation with you all.....
