    Same sht different day, Muse is not Muse anymore, and they confirm that every new album. SHAME

    I liked them better when they tried to copy Radiohead. I will give this album a light 3.

    Have you ever heard a Weird Al song made in the style of some other artist? That's what each song on Will of the People sounds like. This album is a self parody. One decent songs, decent parts in two or three other songs, but overall it's just not good.

    This is one of the most awkward albums I’ve heard in a while. None of the songs fit together, the songwriting is messy, and the instrumentals are basically taking the most typical forms of a bunch of different genres and doing them very sloppily. Not liking the direction that this band is going.

    Muse 'music' has become so tedious I had to recently revisit their earlier work just to remind myself why I used to like them.

    The vague political signals make this album so corny and obvious. It’s a huge eye roll for me.

    This is the most soulless sounding album I've heard in years. Disgusting, honestly.

    Hugely disappointing. Muse have nothing left to offer unfortunately. For completists only.

    Dull and unimaginative, rife with vague political rambling.

    Also, a very bad song about Halloween.

    Even though I like their last few albums at least somewhat, I dislike the direction they have taken now. This album feels bland and uninspired.

    Overrated band. Another awful album. Never liked anything this band did, not for me.

    Muse are so bursting with energy and ideas, even their joke songs are stadium-sized barnstormers. [Oct 2022, p.33]

    All of these moments lurch through time without any thought of build or denouement—no tension, no release, no narrative. Muse parade their influences while giving us all comical winks.

    It’s all consistently inventive rather than dull, but also endearingly daft rather than chilling. Still, that makes for Muse’s most enjoyable album since the 00s.
