Origin Of Symmetry, the second album from U.K. Rockers Muse, has finally seen release in the States. Due to label issues when it originally came out in 2001, Origin Of Symmetry was not released in the U.S., but was a hit elsewhere around the world. Warner Bros. has released the album after the success of last year's Absolution.
