I’ve always loved songs like big freeze, explorers, dead inside, escape and the void.
I never see anyone talk about songs like that even though i think that they’re amazing. I want to know what people think are muse’s most underrated songs because they have soooo many amazing songs that dont get the love they deserve.
Dead Inside is in my top 5, and might even be a contender for my favourite song. Matt’s vocals in it are just so good, and the 2015 live at The Mayan performance is my most watched video on YouTube. I just can’t get enough of it. All the Instrumentals sound so good in this song, the drums, the bass, the guitar. I just love it to pieces.
But when is a song underrated? I love loads of songs that aren’t well known outside the Muse community, but which are pretty loved within it, like The Handler, Spiral Static, Dead Star, City of Delusion, Algorithm, Hoodoo, etc.
So I’ll name something that even within the fandom is underrated imo: Propaganda! I’m not a particular fan of the PWOPAPWOPAGANDA, but I enjoy the rest of the song, and Matt’s dirty, slutty vocals, so much, that I’m willing to overlook that. The solo is also so much fun.
“Matt’s dirty, slutty vocals” got me so good - thanks for that! Also 100% agree.
I sexy dance to this song in my car lol. I just cant help it.
I love con-science, minimum,, do we need this? Literally all the muscle museum b-sides.
THIS!!
Literally almost all Showbiz b-sides
sometimes I think I'm the only person who remembers Invincible and In Your World, and these songs were singles...
Those are amazing shouts! I love in your world so much and invincible is amazing too! I really like the wembley version of invincible as well
Invincible rips all the time, the Reading performance is my personal favourite.
I second Explorers.
Hullabaloo Soundtrack
Con-science, Escape, Darkshines, Hyper Chondriac Music, Hoodoo
Soldier's poem
This is so beautiful!
No love for Glorious? I think it’s such a beautiful song and the drumming is ridiculous
Glorious is probably top 5 muse songs for me, its so perfect its crazy! I wish that they’d play it live some time soon
Have you seen their live performance at Sheperd Bush in 2017?
Execution commentary, i really like the harmonics
Big freeze for sure, most of 2nd law is for me, I also think easily is super underrated
The Small Print. In my top 5.
The small print is amaaaaazing, that and thoughts of a dying atheist are probably some of my favourites too
I think Euphoria is better than it is made out to be, which is basically "worst song on a shit album"
I haven't seen Euphoria be ranked last on WotP. I thought it was respected more than Liberation, Ghosts, and Compliance.
I’d say Euphoria is the worst song on an extremely underrated album!
I love Con-science, Save Me, Defector, Recess, Verona, I Belong To You, Soldier’s Poem and Aftermath
Exo-Politics & City of Delusion
Agree. I love exo-politics and don’t understand the hate for it
Execution Commentary, let me explain.
This song always gets mentioned because of the absolute absurd 'lyrics', but not many people mention its wicked instrumental. It sounds grungy as fuck. I especially love it when they end Stockholm Syndrome with this riff.
The Groove and Ruled by Secrecy!
The groove is soooo good!
Depends how we measure underrated - Blockades doesn't seem to get any recognition and it has some punch! I also prefer the Grand Omega Bosses edit of Assassin. Other songs that I have grown to appreciate more: Escape, Verona, Shine.
Verona is one of my favourites, it’s so beautiful.
It truly is! I also like how it's a homage to Romeo & Juliet. Same with Resistance being a nod to 1984.
I prefer the GOB version to the album version but the Debase Masons Grog version is king.
Pink ego box

Blockades, City of Delusion, MK Ultra, Hyper Chondriac Music, essentially all of The Resistance, Euphoria, etc
Assassin, Grand Omega Bosses edit. way better than the original and in my top 3 muse songs of all time
I feel like Sober, Easily and Crying Shame are all super underrated
Sober! Loved that it was on Gran Turismo 3.
mk ultra
Verona feel never gets any mentions here, I know people don’t much care for the WOTP album but I liked it and hope they stay somewhere in that sound for the next album.
Pretty much every B-side flies under the radar undeservedly.
Host. One of their best early tracks, yet largely cast adrift by being released as a B-side and on the wonderful Random 1-8. On there, it's often remembered for Pink Ego Box.
I agree with every one of yours, but also Sober, Apocalypse Please and Aftermath
Yes Please
Blackout
Bliss is so good
Hoodoo, Megalomania, Soaked, Big Freeze, Dead Inside, The Void, Recess and Shrinking Universe.
All the early B-sides are so good, but if i have to choose something in the records i think i would Say Liberation Is the most underrated, but also ruled by secrecy, hoodoo or aftermath
Sober
