Hmmm... well I do know that Origin of Symmetry, or Showbiz (one or t'other) was originally an album made for the States, but their record company was being pissy, so Muse told them where to stick it, came back to England, and then released it last year instead.

And my top 5 from Absolution is more or less the same as yours. Except with more in it.
