Most Underrated Muse Songs
The Top Ten
It's the most popular song from showbiz but okay - Henriette
Most underrated song by Muse ever. The vocal range of Bellamy, the slow buildup of the song and Bellamy's vocals at the end are just awe, inspiring...
One of my favourite songs. Dark, just like much of the first album. - Aeterna
This song is the best on showbiz!

Such a beautifully-written song. Deserves more attention - DoroExploro13
I am nobody to decide that this should be no1 but definitely one of the Muse most underrated song. The riffs is so catchy, the solo is sick and fits so well, the guitar part at the last half chorus is sick too, the harmony of the song expresses why Matt is a genius musician and his vocal range in this song is awesome!
Literally shaking my head at the number one. Madness. You are giving the number one underrated muse song to MADNESS? Although, you could pick almost any other song in the top 10, please dethrone the number one.
The song is perfectly written - it's like good drugs. It's just ticking every box!

Space dementia is so good! The piano is great and the lyrics are really good and it just gives me chills. Really underrated.
I have no clue why madness is on this list. It's a great song, but it's anything but underrated.
Space Dementia is a track that effectively encapsulates what Muse were all about. It is easily their most underrated, as it is almost certainly one of their best, but never gets the recognition it deserves.
All new muse fans have ruined this list. They have strayed so far from what the truly are, and this song is a massively underrated song from an amazing album. Bellamy's piano craft on this record is outstanding.
Everything from Origin Of Symmetry is a bit underrated. In my opinion this songs totally beats songs like Uprising, though Uprising is an epic song.

The vocal harmonies, the violins, everything just fits together with the rock in a way I've never heard before. It's thrilling.
This song is great
This should be #1 - Idiot
its great

Just SAAAY it’ll make yu inSANE! Love the chorus. Literally my favorite on the album. - TheYoMama
Accidentally clicked on 'Save Me'. This one is the most underrated. Everyone wants Fury to replace this on the album. Isn't known by the public and fans don't consider it at all. - Aeterna
Just SAY
it'll make you insane
This is the MOST UNDERRATED MUSE SONG EVER! I love that lyrics ^^

Matt's vocals in my opinion are some of his best on the track. Also it has a killer outro.
Listen to that vocal.
2nd Best Muse song
Perfection. Just so good. Unlike anything else on the planet.
One of their best ones next to Knights of Cydonia and Stockholm Syndrome.

This song is by far one of the most underrated Muse tracks, living in the shadow of the more known Dead Star. In Your World shows that, even with simple lyrics, Muse are able to express meaningful ideas.

The perfect song. In my opinion best Muse song within KoC. The lyrics are... I even don't have words to say what I think about them.. Are really great, uncouraging and inspirational. Also, mentions for Falling Away With You, Endlessly, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, Eternally Missed, Exo-Politics and Space Dementia, very underrated Muse songs, too.
Another example of Bellamy's incredible talent, this song features what is arguably the best muse solo of all.
Madness is the most underrated muse song and the most mainstream one at the same time... Wut?

I agree with this dude - TheYoMama
This is so underrated. The problem is, when we're talking about any song from Drones, we mustn't forget that is a concept album. Every song is linked to each other by a story. And if we put Revolt into context, well, it's just EPIC.

Although I like Space Dementia better, it's more well-known than Megalomania, After being a Muse-fan for over 2 years I had discovered Space Dementia, but only 3 years after that Megalomania joined my playlist, it took me 5 years to find this song, I have never heard anyone talk about it, which makes it the most underrated to me. - FullMetalTimelord
It's beautiful, the song is emotional and captivating, and an amazing ender - Quart
Fantastic song...one of my favourites actually. Bellamy's falsetto and organ playing captivates me every time. For some reason, the drum beat at the end just gives me chills
The Contenders

Tons of people like it but it is good
Genuinely one of the best muse songs at all. Such a shame it was never fully released and that Matt hates it
Faith, it drives me away.
But it turns me on like a stranger's love.
It rockets through the universe;
It fuels the lies and feeds the curse. Believes we could be Glorious~
Um this song is amazing
This is a good song but it isn’t underrated - TheYoMama

This song is an alternate showing of the song "Hyper Music" and once you've listened to both songs properly, you get a whole new perspective of this song - It's beautiful
"muse's most depressing song lol"
So so beautiful and ethereal
At the two minute mark it's like - WOAH


One of the highlights of the 2nd law in my opinion. The drums are amazing. The chorus is catchy. The guitar solos make you move.
I love it! Makes me feel good inside because it is such a happy song - HollyRolo

This Song was the first cheesy Song if Muse, that I really liked. It's so great
This song is just so... cute.

Take a Bow describes Matt's personal opinions on politics.
Spell Cast a spell Cast a spell on the country you run this describes how country leaders brainwash their citizens and trick them into believing their lies. WikiMuse Take a Bow
This is the best song ever! (to me anyway) it's really underrated though

Why is this not more popular? - colesy99
This is probably the fastest song in guitar hero worl tour. It hurt my arm when I play it on expert - gelatinbeastworm
One of Chris' best basslines. - Userguy44
One of muse best. In my opinion it's better than most songs on origin of symmetry including Citizen Erased. The Bass line is amazing as well as the guitar. Also when he slams on the piano before the chorus, its just amazing

This song is so underrated that even here people forget about it
This song is absolutely perfect.

One of my favorites!
Not underrated but a really good song - TheYoMama
You're kidding, right? This is Muse's most popular song while others should have gotten more recognition. I would put this last on my list. - Songsta41
Probably has more views on YouTube then any other of their songs. Not sure why this is here.
This song is one of Muse's most beautiful songs and one of their most touching as well. It's what really got me into them because a loved the feeling and emotion of this song.
2 CommentsGreat song! This is rock!

As a whole, it’s not their best but the lyrics are superb. The subtle guitar riffs and the live recording at the end really add to the effectiveness of the song. In line with their theme of the album, this one hits home the most.
This song is technically very impressive: from the smooth arpeggios in the first solo to the powerful outro. The combination of singing while playing subtile licks as support is something that is not easy to pull off. And let's not forget the time signature changes: near the end, while the guitar and bass is playing in 5/4, the drums are continuing in 4/4, what creates a powerful contrast between gentle structure at first and rough chaos at last. Not much people recognize this, thus being an underrated song.
The end drags on for a bit too long I think
Brilluant prog rock song.
1 CommentLiterally the best on The Resistance. It is so not underrated, though - TheYoMama
Just listen to those lyrics! "I wanna push you beyond a peaceful protest"
Guitating similar to good ol' days of origin and showbiz a blast from the past. Extremely underrated compared to others on the album

I love this song

This song is a bit underrated... I mean its awesome, yet, people don't seem to see it in the album... It's one of the songs I most like
I love this song, especially as they weren't afraid to include something from an opera (in French, no less)

Such an awesome guitar riff and chorus! I had this song on repeat throughout the entire day.
This song isn't underrated, any fan who's ever heard it loved it first listen
The best muse songs ever is more accurate of a description for the songs on this list. Exopolitics should be higher though
This song rounds out the Time Is Running Out single. It's driving bass line and clave-esque drums make this one of my all time favorite Muse b-sides.

This should be number one. This actually FITS the definition for underrated. It gets put down because it doesn’t sound like earrape like Citizen Erased. Everyone already loves Showbiz and Exo Politics anyways...
Great piano. Beautiful build up and its great how Matt adds layers to the song as it develops. Matt leaves you feeling like he has put as much meaning into the song as he can.
Listen to the song, just once, and you'll know why did I put this song on the list
I don't see why it's so low just because muse went for a softer approach

This song is objectively nice to listen to, filled with a soft guitar and an anthem-ish chorus. The real beauty is the last verse though. Without it, this song is just another song about a broken relationship. The last verse discusses 'recurring nightmares' where the fact that they were loved prevented them from being a better man. It leaves the song open ended and completely takes the listener off guard. One of my favorite Muse songs ever.
Definitely the most underrated Muse song with Big Freeze, Exo-Politics and City Of Delusion.
"Why is this crisis, in your eyes again? " Already explain this song's awesomeness.
This song has pretty impressive and suitably anti-establishment lyrics, an amazing bass line, and the switch back and forth from acoustic to distorted electric guitar is pretty distinct among Muse's discography. Plus, it's catchy as hell.
One of the most addictive songs by Muse and epic as hell!
This was my favorite song for the longest time!
Madness at top made me cringe. Not under-rated, it's over-rated laugh out loud. I was going to vote for mk ultra but this will do

I almost cried at the end of exogenesis symphony redemption, it's so sad, and what's worse that'll probably be us in the future
Most beautiful muse song.

Best muse song without a doubt.
Matt's vocals and guitar work on this song are absolutely underrated. Such a good song
This song would have gotten a whole lot more attention if it was not a bonus track...
Why isn't this song on my origin of symmetry album?
One of the most underrated underrated songs (yes it's underrated even for an underrated song) this one definitely needs some attention
Shame that no one cares about this awesome song. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LOVE THIS WHY BE SUCH A MONSTER
Come On Guys, This Is One Of My favorite. Muse Track,
Beautiful Songwriting, Amazing Low Falsetto SInging!
It's so haunting and sad to listen to. One of my favorite muse song's for sure
This song is perfect in all ways
beautiful



Really, this is the most underrated muse song ever. I thought this song would make it to the top list, I'm dissapointed
This ones supposed to top the list, because the scream in the end is so long and so so so awesome, will blow your mind away, guys if you have not heard this one, you missed a master piece
The lyrics are astounding
My 3rd favourite this song gave me goosebumps

So so underrated how is this so low down? absolutely brilliant song
I could cry when I listen that
Total bs this is the most underrated song ever people need to listen to this song NOW! I don't care how tough you are,this song will get to you

Come on this song is easily one of Muse's best. Electronics, effects, and crunching guitars all done right.
The Small Print also is a good song, they both deserve to be on the album but Fury just kicks ass

Which of you idiots added this

One of the albums growers. If you give it a chance it's a very mellow yet lovely song.
YOU gotta be kidding me. This is arguably a top 10 muse song. C'mom people listen to this song WOW! UNBELIEVABLE! Why is this so low

Music is good the singing...
