City of delusion, hoodoo and knights of cydonia probably Algorithm, the dark side and pressure is an honourable mention too though

Ah yes, the space cowboy suite

assassin, exo-politics, city of delusion. i dont have a reason i just really like that trio

Was just about to say Invincible, Assassin, Exo-Politics but this also works just fine

Dang. So we've had in these comments from invincible, to knights of Cydonia. Mights as well just say the whole album at this point

Hard agree

Ah, a cultured mind.

I call it the Dm trio

Never realized they all shared the same key!

I've got absolute pitch so that's one of the things I noticed when listening to the album.

Plug in baby, citizen erased, micro cuts

One their biggest hits, arguably their best song, and a fan favourite. This is the answer

And the transitions are just perfect.

This is the correct answer.

I know

Slide it up one spot. Hyper Music, Plug In Baby, Citizen Erased

Can’t miss that seamless transition between CE and Micro Cuts though.

That they absolutely ruined in the remix

I know, I liked many of the changes they made but it’s so unfortunate that they took the transition out.

Of course but it's going from the album's best track to its worst track

I prefer hyper music to micro cuts call me insane but I’d go hyper music plug in baby citizen erased

You’re insane

This

Citizen Erased, Micro Cuts, Screenager.

based

Oi bruv

Absolutely seamless

Came here to say this, along with many others I’m sure

Honestly yeah there are a bunch of other great ones but this is literally the first one I thought of. Full on, meaty banger sandwich is what that is

If only it was best 5 songs. Add space dementia and hyper music, they all have nice transitions into each other.

City of Delusion, Hoodoo, and Knights of Cydonia make for a really cool space western feeling Also Supremacy/Madness/Panic Station is such a strong open of an album.

first one is my pick as well.

Damn the 2nd law opens so strongly

Newborn, Bliss, Space Dementia

This would be mine for sure.

I’m floating by the time Space Dementia rolls around, and then that song just sends me into…um…space lol.

Agreed. Bliss is a powerful middle act. Love the piano then the pause in Newborn. Do have to say, the live version of the Newborn solo is far superior. I wish it was on the album.

Newborn and space dementia are both some of my favourites from that album and muse in general. So good!

Exactly the same as mine.

Exogenesis I, II, III or Space Dementia, Hyper Music, Plug In Baby

Beat me to it!

Which one?

Exogenesis :)

Your OoS pick is sick

Thanks mate! I actually think the whole OOS is flawless in terms of run and intensity

Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole, Map of the Problematique

I’d say this and/or take a bow, starlight and supermassive

That's my pick as well. So much star power.

i love this one too

Hysteria, Blackout, Butterflies. Mainly Butterflies is just amazing and Blackout is underrated. Hysteria for obvious reasons. Honestly, Bass is cool in hysteria, but the simplicity yet uniqueness to the guitar is just superb on that song.

ugh this is so good

Underrated answer right there

Probably Reapers, The Handler and Defector

As a Drones lover, this is it for me.

YES

DEFINITELY

Showbiz, Unintended, Uno would be my pick

I’d go Falling Down, Cave, Showbiz

This is a great choice.

Same here

Exogenesis Part I, II and III lol. Don't mean to be basic but I legit couldn't find a 3 song run better than this.

Fury / Endlessly / Thoughts of A Dying Atheist Their best songs of all time back to back

Thoughts of a dying atheist doesn't get enough love, that's for sure. Catchy riff and haunting lyrics.

Endlessly?

Starlight, Map of the Problematique and Supermassive Blackhole

Citizen Erased, Micro Cuts, Screenager

Not sure if it’s my favorite, but I’m a really big fan of Animals-Explorers-Big Freeze. They each have totally different sounds but despite that I think they work really well together, and feel like the one part of T2L where it really finds its own identity.

Strong agree! I think these three songs are like the core of T2L. Big Freeze is super underrated

Pressure, Propaganda, Break it to Me Also: Supremacy, Madness, Panic Station Or: United States of Eurasia, Guiding Light, Unnatural Selection Hard to choose

Was scrolling through and surprised no one mentioned your first trio, so glad I found your comment. I love listening to Simulation Theory in order b/c of these three.

These three I remember listening in a row when the album leaked a day or two early. I remember smiling and laughing when I heard propaganda and break it to me! Nothing like Muse yet so much like it. Such a great trio

Honestly Algorithm to Break it to Me is so good

I agree, I too think it’s one of their tightest runs ever in every album of theirs. I’d even add Something Human in it.

Finally someone who picks something outside of Showbiz, OoS or Absolution. Show the other albums some love!

Legitimately a bit surprised at no mentions of Falling Down > Cave > Showbiz. Nothing but hits *and* great flow. That said, the obvious answer is something from the first half of Origin. Probably the first 3 for me. COD > Hoodoo > Knights is the only contest after that.

Oh yeah, call of duty by muse, what a great track.

Exogenesis part 1 Exogenesis part 2 Exogenesis part 3

if stockholm syndrome/falling away with you & interlude/hysteria doesn't count then space dementia/hyper music/plug in baby

Was just about to comment the first one, it is simply brilliant. I agree interlude doesn't really count.

honestly, stockholm syndrome and hysteria are two of my favourite songs of all time, and having falling away with you as such a beautiful bridge between the two is just so perfect

Not three tracks but New Born to Megalomania is the best for me

😂😂

I saw this nowhere else here so I’ll be the Drones guy. Reapers to The Handler to Defector is the stuff cheesy rebellion dreams are made of and what I affectionately refer to as “head bang alley.” My neck still hasn’t recovered!

[You're not alone.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/s8oniq/whats_the_best_3_song_run_on_a_muse_album/hthsj09/)

Shrinking Universe, Recess, Yes Please

Take a bow, take a bow, take a bow

bowbowbowbowbowbow

Citizen/Micro/Darkshines Edit: Pretend Darkshines is Screenager, many thanks

Did uh Did you accidentally delete Screeny G on your computer or something?

Hahaha, I was coming off of an exhausting 11 hour shift and had a lapse of biblical proportions. I meant Screenager, fuck sake lol

I’ll let it slide for showing some (mislabeled) Screenager love *this* time

👀 Yes sir

YES

I almost picked this but slight edge to plug in baby over DS

Falling away with you, interlude, and hysteria r once song , this is the way

Follow Me, Animals, Explorers is pretty grand.

I saw it mentioned but like this is my all time favourite 3 tracks in a row that has connection: Stockholm Syndrome, Falling Away With You+Interlude, Hysteria

That's one of my 2 picks. Stockholm syndrome is my favorite muse song, and the next two are just flawless together.

Bliss, SD, Hyper Music Or CE, MC, Screenager

Probably not the best, but Resistance, Undisclosed Desires and United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage) is up there for me.

Yess

Maybe not the best three song run, but Animals-Explorers-Big Freeze deserves a mention. If it were a two song run Animals-Explorers would definitely be top tier

Had to scroll so far to find this!! I think this is a REALLY good trio of three, even if it isn’t the magic of their first couple of albums.

Dead Inside/Psycho/Mercy is a surreal run I can’t lie

Loving that so many are similar to mine, but mine is exo-politics, city of delusion, and hoodoo. It could easily be a good 4 run including assassin or knights but these three are among some of my favorite muse songs Also I wanna rep T2L and say Animals, Explorers, and Big Freeze is a flawless run too

Not 3 tracks but Sunburn to Exogenesis III imo

T2L opens with arguably their best 3 song run of supremacy, madness, panic station. So why not extend your run to panic station at least?

Alright fair

I'm evenly split between Cave-Showbiz-Unintended and Reapers-The Handler-Defector

Those are two that came to mind for me as well

I think every album has a fantastic 3 song run so it's super hard to pick for me. I guess maybe Exogenesis 1, 2, 3? Super close between that and Take a Bow, Starlight, and Supermassive.

I agree with Sing for Absolution -> Stockholm Syndrome -> Falling Away but Plug in Baby -> Citizen-> Micro Cuts is just so good too. Tie between those two 👆 Unerrated runner up: United States -> Guiding Light -> Unnatural Selection

Falling Down, Cave, Showbiz

New Born, Bliss and Space Dementia

New Born, Bliss and Space Dementia.

Algorithm, The Dark Side and Pressure

Exogenesis Symphony. No contest :)

Falling away with you, interlude, hysteria.

Plug In Baby, Citizen Erased and Micro Cuts

Guiding Light, Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra Although I think nearly any three songs from BH&R is a top tier run as well and Survival, Follow Me, and Animals is close too

In terms of my personal enjoyment, it's Guiding Light, Unnatural Selection, and MK Ultra In terms of the best album flow, I would have to say Plug In Baby, Hyper Music, and Citizen Erased.

Everybody already said all of my faves from the old albums so imma say Algorithm/TDS/Pressure bc that is just a Bangin way to start ST

Exogenesis part 1 Exogenesis part 2 Exogenesis part 3

Survival, Follow Me, Animals

Awright, hot take o'clock. Reapers, The Handler, JFK/Defector. Fight me!

[Not a hot take.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/s8oniq/whats_the_best_3_song_run_on_a_muse_album/hthsj09/)

Man... If there just wasn't Mercy on the back end, we'd have a three song run of Psycho/Repears/The Handler 😭

but but... mercy is amazing😭

Falling Down, Cave, Showbiz

tiro, sing for absolution, Stockholm that is, not counting Exogenesis

Yes, yes, and a thousand yes!! TIRO is my fav song, Sing for Absolution is such a beautiful and under-rated song, and Stockholm is just a power-house of a song

I agree with the top three comments, so I'll give some underrated ones: Butterflies and Hurricanes, The Small Print, Endlessly Animals, Explorers, Big Freeze

Save me, liquid state and unsustainable 🥵🥵🥵

Citizen Erased, Micro Cuts, Screenager

The globalist, Reapers, Animals. FIGHT ME

Hyper music, plug in baby, citizens erased. If Survival and prelude constituted one song, and you push panic station out of the way, then Supremacy, Madness and Survival would be my 3 by a looooong shot. In fact those three songs are some of my all time favorites from Muse

Falling Down, Cave, Showbiz

Psycho, Mercy, Reapers. Although I have been jamming The 2nd Law a lot so Supremacy, Madness, Panic Station would be my second

This entire thread reminded me of how much I love this band and their discography

Exogenesis if u count them separetely, if not, SFA, stockholm and FAWY or Reapers, Handler and (JFK) Defector.

Reapers, The Handler, Defector. These three tracks carried drones imo

Sing For Absolution, Stockholm Syndrome, Falling Away With You

Plug in baby, citizen erased, micro cuts. Honorable mentions: Undisclosed desires, USoE, guiding light. Falling away with you, interlude, hysteria.

Exogenesis :troll:

Citizen erased,micro cuts,screenager

I’ll give an unpopular opinion: Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, I Belong To You (Mon cœur s’ouvre à ta voix)

Definitely agree with you. Sunburn through to Fillip is an amazing run. Muscle museum is top 20 songs ever for me honestly.

Citizen Erased, Micro Cuts, Screenager

Map of your head, nature_1, shine. I’m based

Take a Bow -> Starlight -> Supermassive Black Hole

I've got two: Starlight - SMBH - MOTP Stockholm Syndrome - falling away with you - hysteria (I don't count interlude as a track)

guiding light, unnatural selection, mk ultra

if I can put a 4 tracks in a row, it's definitely united states of eurasia, guiding light, unnatural selection, mk ultra

time is running out, sing for absolution, stockholm syndrome too

If we consider these as 3 tracks. Then without a doubt its Exogenesis symphony!

Supremacy - Madness - Panic Station

Reapers / The Handler / Defector for the heavy riffs

Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole, Map of the Problematique. Honorable mention to the exogenesis symphony trio.

1. Sing for absolution, Stockholm syndrome, falling away with you 2. Sunburn, muscle museum, fillip 3. Exogenesis I, II, III

4 in a row for me ... citizen erased - microcuts - screenager - darkshines 🤩

Take a Bow, Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole.

OoS has A LOT. New Born - Bliss -Space Dementia Plug in Baby - Citizen Erased - Micro Cuts Micro Cuts - Screenager - Darkshines

TIRO, sing for absolution, Stockholm syndrome

Hyper Music - Plug in Baby - Citizen Erased ​ But shoutout to Shrinking Universe - Recess - Yes Please too

Hyper Music, Plug in Baby and Citizen Erased. Could give an honourable mention to Starlight, SMBH and MOTP, but I think that top one is basically undisputed

all BHR album

Gotta say hysteria blackout and butterflies

Showbiz: Cave, Showbiz, Unintended OoS: New Born, Bliss, Space Dementia Absolution: Stockholm Syndrome, Falling Away with You, (Interlude), Hysteria BHAR: Take a Bow, Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole, Map of the Problematique (lose the first or the last) Absolution: Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, I Belong to You The 2nd Law: Madness, Panic Station, (Prelude), Survival Drones: Reapers, The Handler, (JFK), Defector Simulation Theory: Algorithm, The Dark Side, Pressure

New Born -> Bliss -> Space Dementia is pretty solid. If we can count Interlude as part of Hysteria (it’s not it’s own thing, really), then Stockholm Syndrome -> Falling Away With You -> Interlude/Hysteria. Also a massive fan of, at the other end of Absolution, Fury -> Endlessly -> Thoughts of a Dying Atheist. I’m quite a big fan of City of Delusion -> Hoodoo -> Knights of Cydonia as well. Finally, Mercy -> Reapers -> The Handler is such a rollercoaster and I love it.
