I was going by the ones I commonly see in store. For anything else I conveniently included a 5th "other- explain below" option.

Available on Amazon.com, 24h delivery but I think I get it, are you American?
Apparently Showbiz was a commercial flop in in the US, on the other hand many people in France, myself included, discovered Muse with their debut album, Showbiz.

Muse's songs are rarely radio friendly. Black Holes onward began to attract attention because stations could play it on the radio without turning off most of their viewers. Many people do not like disturbingly new or different music, especially the loud screeches on many of Muse's songs.

that and showbiz was just genuinely bad, or at least unoriginal, specially when compared to the awesomeness that is OoS and Absolution

Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Cave and Falling Down are some of my favourites. They're just not mainstream enough to be noticed. OoS is still my favourite album.

Absolution, the American cut I think that was like a re-release in 2005, ANYWAYS it was a remaster and has a different cover.

I have not seen the Showbiz album anywhere in local stores (yes, in the States). I was very surprised to see the Oos album in Best Buy (a electronics and appliance store in the States). In the future I'd like to hear both of these albums.

New poll (well sort of): Muse best track/song? What song do you think best displays their talent? Although Starlight is my favorite song, I must say Sing for Absolution is their most impressive piece. It's positively awe inspiring.

Black Holes and Revelations.

OoS > Showbiz >>> Absolution >> BH&R >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That new album I won't bother mentioning

Haha, well thanks for your input . I happen to like the new album; the symphonies at the end are very soothing imo.
