Review - :
Critics say that {$Radiohead} is best, but {$Muse} is equally passionate and mad when it comes to delivering a raw {\rock} sound. The {^Hullabaloo Soundtrack} arrived after only two albums -- 1999's {^Showbiz} and 2001's indie smash {^Origin of Symmetry} -- and it's an ambitious move for the band. {^Hullabaloo} captures {$Muse} live in concert at {~Le Zenith} in Paris in October 2001 on disc two. Frontman {$Matthew Bellamy} howls and halloos through classics like {&"Muscle Museum"} and {&"Citizen Erased."} His bandmates provide a tight, {\grunge}-inspired rhythm section; however, {$Bellamy}'s vocal anguish is painfully romantic -- think {$Jeff Buckley} and a more conservative {$Thom Yorke}. Theatrics do take over {$Muse}'s overall live show. One cannot ignore the sinister string arrangements of {&"Space Dementia,"} but newer cuts like {&"Dead Star"} and {&"In Your World"} showcase the band's original {\rock} intent. No vocal mimicry, no electronic distortion. Disc one offers a selection of B-sides from the band's 1999 and 2001 sessions. Fans should be more than delighted to have each single compiled onto one album. Standouts: {&"Hyper Chondriac Music"} and {&"Map of Your Head."} {$Muse} eagerly defines, in an artistic sense, what music means to them. For a massive follower of the band, the {^Hullabaloo Soundtrack} is a decent look back. For new fans, consider the album a treat. [An Australian version was also released.] ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
