microbellamy: Showbiz was Muse’s debut album, having been recorded between 1998 and 1999. The songs themselves included some of the older songs in Muse’s repertoir, dating as far back as 1996. All songs on the album had been witten by 1997. These were among the “fifty or so” that Muse had written before entering the studio. The band picked those which they deemed least progressive to make up Showbiz. A lot of the songs that appear on Showbiz, were written on Matthew’s nan’s basement with damp down the walls, egg boxes up them and weird shiny black spiders, which inspired Muse around that time musically.“It’s all about power and hitting people with large walls of sound.” - Matt Bellamy“It’s not all about relationships with people. It’s sometimes about growing up with all this technology and everything around us. I think you could learn to do things the wrong way. The problem becomes communicating with people.” - Chris Wolstenholme -- source link
