Stumbled across this while I was looking through your writings (ooh, that sounds weird. Actually, I came across your "Hurricane" story in the Museslash community and LOVED IT, it seriously cracked me the fuck up and it was so sexy and wonderful, and then I saw this series and was intrigued). Felt like dropping a comment after reading this.
Excellent review of a fantastic album. I get the whole personal memories thing as well - this is the album that got me to notice these guys to begin with ("Starlight" was the first song I ever heard by these guys. It's one of their most lovely songs ever, and I love the bit about you singing it to your dad). This is the album whose tour I went to see the band on. This is the album I would sit out on my deck at night and listen to while watching the stars, back when I lived in the Colorado mountains.
Absolution is my personal favorite for so many reasons, but this one will always, always have a special place as well. And "Knights of Cydonia" is one of my top 5 Muse songs as well 'cause it kicks all sorts of ass and I'm so glad we have a current band out there that makes songs like that again, so...yeah.
I enjoyed reading through this music series thus far - I love lists like this, you make me want to do my own now - and look forward to seeing what other albums show up here. I love your writing style as well, you know how to make things so relatable and personal. Well done.
