I got it from one of the torrent sites, but you'll have to download something like BitTorrent too.

Yeah I tried searching for it on BitTorrent but I couldn't find it. Do you remember which torrent site you got it from? If you can help, I'd be really greatful.

Funny you should mention Radiohead - I cannot STAND them at all! Pablo Honey was okay, but I think that was only because it had more than a touch of Jeff Buckley influence. I think the comparison Muse have always been lumped with actually put me off getting into them for so long. Muse seem to have far more grunt than Radiohead and Matt's voice doesn't make me feel like lying on a train track and waiting to be decapitated like Thom Yorke's does.

Ha, Pablo Honey is by far their weakest album. Radiohead are my favourite band. OK Computer is my favourite album. Thom Yorke is in my top 5 vocalists.. I don't really think Muse have that much in common with them though... influenced, sure, but I don't think they're ripping off Radiohead.

Btw, Pablo Honey came out in 1993, and some of the songs had been previously released as demos up to several years prior. Grace was 1994...

The Bends (95) was definitely influenced by Buckley though, in fact Fake Plastic Trees was recorded after Thom saw JB live.

Agreed with Alex -- Pablo Honey is their weakest album, although there are a handful of real gems on that album, too.

Excellent taste in music, Alex -- Radiohead and Jeff Buckley are two of my favorite artists of all time, hands down.

When I mention the similarity between Radiohead and Muse, I am mostly gearing that comparison to the voices of Matt and Thom. Now, I am a HUGE, HUGE Radiohead fan -- have been for a good 10 years -- and still, the first time I heard Muse, I thought it was some new Radiohead that I had yet to hear. Even now, every time I put on Absolution I am still astounded by now much Matt's voice sounds like Thom's. I mean, their voices are nearly identical clones of each other, unless I have some sort of hearing deficiency and you are hearing something different than I am.
