The opening track, "Sunburn" begins with a fluttery piano rift that continues throughout the song. It begins so discretely and with each verse and chorus, the song builds and builds and accentuates the rawness in Matt Bellamy's singing voice. This is a classic Muse track nowadays and the ease with which Bellamy plays the piano is clearly prodigious.
The following track, "Muscle Museum", is one of Muse's earliest songs in their very young days and is simply catchy. The opening bassline is so simple and the melodies are as well, but the rawness in Bellamy's voice and lyrics are honest enough to keep the song from sounding cliche in lyrical content.
The entire album is a bit bipolar between softer acoustic songs and hard pressed loud lyrics, but it is a good hint of the Muse that would progress into their later albums. Some of the criticisms of their later albums being overproduced are absent here. Each strum and pluck and piano note are heard.
Listening to Showbiz now, is like listening to the debut album of a legendary band. Sure maybe some of the songs have a simple sound to them, but it's important to hear the roots of a band and how it all got started!
Standout tracks include the dark angsty title track "Showbiz" and Muse's soft acoustic loveletter "Unintended". It's all classic though!
Muse (UK) - Showbiz is recommended by daisybell27
