This unlikely collaboration between Muse and the Streets, leaked online earlier today, pays surprising dividends. For one, it helps each party limit their excesses. Muse, whose tendency to go huge limits its recorded material while making its live shows some of the best in the world, are served well by Mike Skinner's low key sass. Skinner, on the other hand, has the benefit of Muse's musical chops and sense of funky melody to prevent flatulent music detracting from his skilled rapping. As for the whole product, it's a surprisingly good track that sounds like something of a smarter, less angry Rage Against the Machine track. An unlikely collaboration has produced an unlikely success.
The streets ruined what could have been a great song
Ross
Good song, rubbish lyrics, GO MUSE WOOP WOOP!
Dave
Oh my gooooood !!!!!! Excellent !!!!!
Muse76giiiirl
WOW! ....this REALLY sounds like Rage against the machine, (minus the vocals of course) has anyone else noticed that? it's the guitar
Paul
This rules ... Muse is probably the best band in the world so even with an average rapper like Skinner it's still a good song !!
Mike@Antwerp
Muse never do any wrong!! get rid of those blood lyrics tho. Blam!
Steve
MUSE! dont tarnish yourselfs with this twoddle. your too good. Blam!
Steeeeeve
Mike Skinner is the greatest. And Muse is among the greatest. Lovin it.
Jimmie
Fantastic song. Really catchy and great beat. But this guy sounds BAD. Ew - horrible lyrics. Ooh some really great guitar at the end. And the guitar DOES sound like RATM. I can hear something like Vietnow in it. Oh dear. I hate to say it, but this is one of the worst musical collaborations ever. In my opinion.
Tassia
Neither's best work. Probably not the best collaboration... Anyone judging either The Streets or Muse off of this track would be robbed, because they would be missing out on two amazing musical ventures.

CtrlElite
epic song
lolololol
I don't tink much of the streets but muse are just the best band in the world, Good song 'n' all but it could've been better.
Aaron
This was a brilliant collaboration! Muse is the best band right now, and The Streets is a really good artist (yes it is one guy). For all you Streets haters listen to the song Dry your Eyes, it will make you want to cry!

Could have been interesting.. but that's just a boring song
I can honestly say that RATM is my favorite band of all time, and Muse is my favorite band currently making music. Let me first say that this is a DELIBERATE try at mimicking Tom Morello's amazing guitar techniques; I must say Bellamy did a damn good job, this sounds like a cross between People of the Sun and Maria. Finally, I'll state the obvious: PLEASE DO NOT EVER RUIN YOUR MUSIC AGAIN BY PUTTING LAME ASS BEASTIE BOYS WANNABEES FROM THE UK OVER YOUR AMAZING INSTRUMENTALS...YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED MUSE AS YOU COULD HAVE USED THIS TIME TO PUT OUT A SONG THAT YOUR FANS WOULD ACTUALLY APPRECIATE. thanks

Man all you haters need to shut the **** up. Imagine if every creative endeavor censored itself because of the haters. This is an excellent collaboration and for those of you who continue to hate, I'm glad your voices get largely ignored.
