They had so much potential (imo). They started off on a great path and then just regurgitated it and it just became bland and boring. I still like a bit of Muse, but they aren't top 50 material (as I have an earlier album of there's at 24 on my overall chart... hehe).

As you can see I'm conflicted. But I still agree.
Friends of mine, they are big fans. Just seen them at the Reading Festival. He said I really must give them more of a chance. Not sure where to begin, maybe Absolution or one of the newer albums?

Not a newer album. I feel they got a bit boring after Black Holes and Revelations.
Do you like "space rock"? Do you like cool piano, guitar, drum, and bass parts with belting falsettos? Then you'll at least like Muse even if they get annoying after a while. As a bassist, I can't deny the bass work is some of the absolute best rock bass in the past 20 years.
Idk - I think I'd start with Absolution (that's what got me into the band), and then maybe from there try out either Showbiz (their debut - so if you like a more rough sound) or Black Holes and Revelations (if you like a bit more polished sound of the same thing).
That's kind of my beef with Muse - I feel if you've heard one song you've heard them all (obviously an exaggerated statement). They definitely have great songs across their career, but I do feel they follow a very similar formula for their songwriting and once you figure out that formula it becomes quite boring.
Here's a few samples of different stuff:
(you gotta listen to this one with good bass response):
I almost forgot - also if you like classical music and rock music you might like Muse. It's not the most inspiring piece, but Muse is influenced by classical music (came out onstage to classical music, etc.) and you can hear it in the music.
Here's something a bit different than your average rock band: (so yes I'm a bit conflicted... overrated bastards... haha)
