I will always think of Muse as that one band that really, reeeeeeally wants to be Radiohead with extra Queen sprinkles. And coincidentally has a really good guitarist.
Not the nadir. I mean, if I'm not that familiar with their work, but I think at least one of their albums has some real critical respect? They are considered the standard-bearers of that lighter, poppier brand of emo that spawned the whole scenester thing, however...

To their partial credit, the guitarist and vocalist are both the same guy, so he at least has some genuine talent within him.
I might be thinking of their bassist, as I admittedly have not listened to Muse in a long, long time, but I remember both being more than technically proficient. It's just that their overall style and structuring and especially their vocals are just a bit of a snore.
No, I remember being impressed by some of Matt Bellamy's guitar work while still finding their general thing pretty boring too, so I think that was it.

which is unfortunate because even though they made bank off of it no band deserves to be permanently associated with Twilight
-side eyes Stephenie Meyer yet again-
This makes so much sense.
i would not have guessed that Meyer would be into MCR or Dashboard Confessional, but neither am i surprised
/random aside
i think i have heard like 2 of their songs?
to differentiate it from the largely unrelated earlier post-hardcore genre
but i meant, like, if i hung out on places where people sit around discussing it on a regular basis
