How to Be a Muse Fan

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Forget anything you've already heard about the band.

   Take it home and put it on, loud, in order.
   
   Forget shuffle or buying tracks singularly from iTunes (Other MP3 download services are available)
   - Each Muse album is a self contained musical journey.
   
   Enjoy. ,,, Disc 1 should be your only company on rainy bus rides. , Deeply. ,,,, Or, buy "Inside the Muscle Museum"
   
   Understand that Bellamy is a genius and has many classical influences. , It's the best way to learn all sorts of random stuff about Muse and meet some proper Musers. , If you like Twilight, fine.
   
   If you like Muse, that's awesome.
   
   But if you only like Muse because they are associated with Twilight, and don't listen to any songs other than those three, then don't bother becoming a Muse fan because you will never truly appreciate the awesomeness of Muse. ,,
