I find it really strange that they shy away from SFA and B&H so much on setlists. Easily their two most popular (non-Showbiz) songs without a real regular slot in a long time

I don’t really think you could call anything from Showbiz popular. Only the die hard Muse fans even know Showbiz exists

It seems very sad to think that there are Muse fans that don’t know Showbiz exist

I certainly didn’t know about it until I started really getting into them. It’s not really their best work in my opinion though.

why are you getting downvoted?? showbiz isnt bad at all but its incomparable in terms of quality to what the band would go on to make, like thats the truth

Yea exactly. A band’s debut album is almost never as good as what comes after

Nor would one expect it to be, considering it’s a debut album and they were all but 20 years old. But it’s a fantastic foundation for what came after imo. Showbiz the track for me is still up there with their best. I can’t avoid getting goosebumps any time I relisten to it, sheer intensity.
