Sunburn 5. Unintended Information Showbiz was Muse's debut album, having been recorded between 1998 and 1999. The songs themselves included some of the older songs in Muse's repertoir, dating as far back as 1996. All songs on the album had been witten by 1997. These were among the "fifty or so" that Muse had written before entering the studio.The band picked those which they deemed least progressive to make up Showbiz. John Leckie, who produced the album, started attending Muse's concerts in the latter half of 1998. Leckie was based at Sawmills recording studio, where owner Dennis Smith had given the band free recording time the previous year, from which the Muse EP resulted. He built up a relationship with the band during this time, coming to say that he'd want to work with the band if ever they could afford him. Leckie had not worked with any bands quite some time prior to doing so with Muse. The recording had finished by the 15th of May 1999 Release The booklet which comes with the album does not have lyrics on it, but instead, a line from each song is cited in bold letters. A limited "Festival Edition" was released in the Benelux region featuring a bonus disc with the same content as the Japanese Random 1-8 EP, although without the three hidden "Sunburn" remixes after "Do We Need This (live)". The UK and US promo CDs are held between two pieces of perspex, one engraved with the Muse logo, bolted down the middle. The aforementioned CD originally came with a special perspex spanner. Two other promo CDs, one with alternative artwork, another with a gold promo stamp, were made in the US. A variety of promotional CD-Rs were used to promote the album in the UK, US and Japan. The exclusive advanced promo CD was an European promo used for promoting Showbiz, and contains six faded song samples from the album. The album has gone to sell over 300,000 in the UK making it Platinum, and has sold over 700,000 copies worldwide. Whilst the first release was on the Mushroom and Taste Media labels in the UK, the album was reissued on CD in 2006 in the UK on East West Records. Showbiz was reissued on double 12" vinyl under Warner in Europe and North America on the 18th of August, 2009 to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the debut album. Personal Opinion It took me quite some time to actually grow to like Showbiz, maybe it was because the first album I heard by Muse was "Black Holes & Revelations", which so much different from Showbiz in so may ways. In my opinion, this album was inspired by a lot of things that I've heard Matt went through when he was younger (Like his parents getting divorced, people not believing in the band at the beggining and even falling in love). I also recommend to give this album a listen no matter how you're feeling, it has a little bit of everything and like it happens with every song you listen, you give to the song your own personal meaning. In conclusion, if you ever have the time, give this album a listen, it might take some time for it to grow on you, but it's completely worth it. btw... sorry if the description of the songs it's not good... I suck at describing songs :disappointed:
