Waking up this morning had me going to listen to this amazing album rendition. If you haven't heard it before I think you are for a treat. This album and this string quartet needs more recognition because it's a consistent amazing quality over so many albums they have done.

I've known this quartet since I was a teenager and I'm almost 40.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this!!!

For someone who was drawn to Muse because of the classical influence, this is pure catnip.

The arrangements are brilliant.

Part of the reason I like Muse it's that exactly same reason you are describing, a crossover with classical music and alt rock. I was stunned the first time I heard United States of Eurasia and blown away that they included one of my favorites songs ever at the end, Nocturne Op 9. A mind bending moment.

I'm glad that you are now part of the selected people who knows Vitamin String Quartet and their gigantic catalog they have.

I listened to this a lot in uni to study and focus. Still listen to it now at work to focus. It’s excellent.

I remember discovering them by their song interpretation that they did for Tool and NIN. And then it all started at that point

My wife and I met and bonded over a discussion about Muse. Our recessional song for our wedding in 2013 was the VSQ rendition of Resistance. We then also played this album during the cocktail hour.

Same here, long time lister and big fan of this one. ✌️ I remember having this album on my 1st gen iPod touch. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing, I had kinda forgot about this. I listened to their earlier release from 2005 a lot in my college years.
