Anyone who says "dreary" hasn't listened to The Bends or In Rainbows. Or is confusing "dreary" with "not upbeat"
Tbf, If you don't like ANY of these, you're a cnut.

Oh, yeah, Leroy, Muse stopped copying them after their first album. Uh huh.
I really like Muse, but everything past 2.50 is 60% of Muse songs. And it was written in 1996. Of the other 40%, 20% are Queen, and 20% are Classic standards Bellamy learnt as a child.
And again, I like them. But better than Radiohead, or stopped being influenced after Showbiz? Pschhh. Char blud.
