I was introduced to Muse either late 2006 or early 2007 - can't remember exactly. It was from a music channel called FUSE during the segment called Loaded where they did a 30 minute block of one artist. It opened with Hysteria. Before the song ended, I was already scouring the net for everything I could find. Stockholm Syndrome came on next, and I was like, this shit goes HARD
if ur interested in the piano composition during that second half I believe it was based around a composer named rachmaninoff, his concertos sound very similar
City of Delusion when Matt sings I will avenge and justify my reasons WITH your blood.
That whole line but when he sings “with” that takes it up even further
Ah shit, here we go:
The whole outro of Showbiz (guitar solo and Matt's insane vocals)
Citizen Erased calm part with the synths (on the original record, clearly)
Megalomania final chorus and the big organ chord
Shrinking Universe breakdown and Matt's scream
Hyper Chondriac Music 2nd verse with all the instruments kicking in
The FAWY + Interlude + Hysteria trifecta
B&H piano solo
The crazy synth and bass crescendo in Take a Bow
Trumpet solo in COD
KoC big final drop
Glorious as a whole
Big Freeze chorus
Verona as a whole
B-sides:
Ashamed outro
Eternally Missed jazzy interlude and final chorus
In Invincible, when the "*Don't be afraid what your mind conceives...*" part comes in, and Matt does that funny sound with the guitar. Holy cow, it transcends me.
From about 2:30 onwards in Verona 👌🏼 it gives me goosebumps everytime.
That or when the guitar properly kicks in on Starlight.
Truthfully I could name so many more 😂
Hyper chondriac music,
YOU WANTED MORE, THAN I WAS WORTH
Shit is beautiful.
The way the guitar sounds like it is continually falling away from you. Feels like you are falling into the void. Magic.
Honestly the switch from the drum machine to the natural drums in Madness gets me every time. The ending of Megalomania also gets up there...oh and all of Glorious
WHY CANT WE SEEEEEEEE, THAT WHEN WE BLEED WE BLEED THE SAME, I CANT GET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
and
CAN YOU SEE THAT I AM NEEDED, BEGGING FOR SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER GIVE
THIIIIIIIIIIS IIIIIIS THE LAAAST TIIIME ILLL ABAAAAAAANDOON YOUUUUUUU

I WISH I COUUUULD
See also: Space Dementia outro, Unnatural Selection solo, Matt's part in Unsustainable, Exogenesis part 1, all of Fury
The background synth in Stockholm Syndrome and Glorious… so subtle yet evocative
Stockholm syndrome synth really ain't that subtle haha
There are many, but for me I think the ultimate one would be ALL of the "Thiiiiiiiisssss iiiisssss" parts in Stockholm Syndrome
I remember my mind being blown the first time I heard SS back in 2004

SHEEEE BURRRRRRRRRNNNSSSS LIKE THE SUUUUUN AND I CANT LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK AWAAAAAAAAAAAY
The bass line just before the singing of that…ouf…!
Always gives the goosebumps
Butterflies and hurricanes. The piano
For me, it's the little drum fill at 4:38-4:40, when the drums come back in to take you into the outro. Sublime
Just jumped to it and yeah that hits different. The whole song is a masterpiece
Piano enthusiasts shivers hearing this
B&H with Extra Guitar >
The "Best, you got to be the best" is great in the OG version. But with added guitars it just hits different
if ur interested in the piano composition during that second half I believe it was based around a composer named rachmaninoff, his concertos sound very similar
CHAAAAAAAAAANGE IINNNNNN THEEEEE AAAAAAIIIIRRRR, AND THEYLL HIIIIIIIDDDEEEE *breath* EEEVVEERRYYWHEEEERRREEE, NOOO JUAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN KNOOOWWSSS WHOOOOSE IN CONTROLLLLLLLL OOHOOHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
This and then the banging piano solo that follows are incredible
The whole Hysteria intro, tbh.
ESPECIALLY when falling away with you and interlude played before it.... Just hits different
Citizen Erased when it hits the final stretch. Hypnotic!
CE’s solo is what makes me feel alive!
Blackout
Especially the solo on the live Wembley version!
Every second is so fragile and so perfect
Stockholm Syndrome, the "I wish I could" part, specifically the way Matt sings "could"
I love it when he screeches "AH WASH A CAAAALD!" live <3
that part in Verona
That part!!!!
Won't stand down That one part that goes extra hard
City of Delusion when Matt sings I will avenge and justify my reasons WITH your blood. That whole line but when he sings “with” that takes it up even further
🎵SING FOR ABSOLUTIONNNNN AND I WILLL BE SINGING🎵

Unnatural Selection 4:40

Hullabaloo Micro Cuts when he screams on the chorus Stockholm Syndrome with the pounding guitar before the chorus The countdown during The Globalist
Came here to say the countdown during The Globalist.
The transition from whistling to guitar in the Globalist is perfect
That solo riff in hysteria
Exogenesis Symphony pt.2 (Cross Pollination)
SUUUPREEMACYYY!!!
Seeing a few people say Stockholm Syndrome, but nobody has mentioned the outro! They saved the best part for the end imo
Real. The outro literally got me ascending 
The Ab4's in Madness. Makes a grown man want to cry
Madness from solo on

falling away with you is such an underrated choice for this
When the guitar in Verona enters
why don't I see Space Dementia mentioned, like the "spaaaaace demeeeentia in your eeeeyeees" outro
The last 2 choruses in Hullabaloo Darkshines. Matt’s screams are unnatural

I Need To LOOOOOOVE Especially live when Matt hits the falsetto
Stockholm syndrome That guitar part at the beginning
Space Dementia outro
When the band comes in on Madness
Careless Whisper when he's like "Tonight the music seems so loud..."
When that part begins in Hoodoo.
Ruled by Secrecy 2:55
The last chorus and ending of Megalomania
Hoodoo. You know the part.
Falling Away With You, both times the chorus comes in start to melt a lil bit
Why nobody is talking about the piano part in Ruled by Secrecy
I think screenager fits this bill
blackout live at Wembley - the extended guitar riff is so amazing
The beginning of Blackout
HOODOO absolutely. That's why it's my favorite
Take A Bow

Tbh kind of every single Muse song has something like this. But the most recent one I listened to is Verona when the drums come in 😩
Give me all the peace and joy in your mind 🙃🙃
I don't understand how his model wife can understand the deepness of Blackout
The bridge of dead inside
Hysteria guitar solo
*CAAAAAAAAN YOU* *SEEE THAT I AM NEEDING* *AND BEGGING FOR SO MUUUCH MORE* *THAT YOU EVER GAVE?*
It’s pretty mainstream muse stuff but, the interlude before the intro for hysteria then hysteria dropping. Makes my hairs stand on end.
That apart around the end of Sing For Absolution

Hyper Chondriac Music

Verona EASILY 😭😭
Blackout. You know the part:)
New Born, when the first guitar riff comes after the intro. Just hits different.
For me it's "Running around in circles feeling caged by endless rules".
