hairolfitri Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 There was a poll back when a short preview clip was released for a song, as well as a thread on why the song is generally not liked, but I don't think they're the same as rating the song now that it's been heard in its entirety.

hoodoo oz Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Actually one of my favourite tracks on the Resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaF Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 There was a poll back when a short preview clip was released for a song, as well as a thread on why the song is generally not liked, but I don't think they're the same as rating the song now that it's been heard in its entirety. I think this is great idea. I will be really interested to see exactly how many haters there are for it here. So far (all 6 votes!) are positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohenko Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Mmmm, 2 haters as of now. I wonder who they are? Make that three. I'm one, but I wouldn't say I really hate the song. I just don't like it one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static shadows Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Horrible song. Up there with NSC, Soaked & Madness as one of the worst they've recorded thus far. It almost makes Invincible sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaF Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm one. ...and now there's 3 . Why do the people who like it never say anything? I'm a right loner here! Anyway, I'm going out now - hopefully when I get back there'll be more likers EDIT: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well so much for hoping it would be ironically praised by everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I actually don't really mind the song. sure, it's one of Muse's hmm, well... "less capable" songs, but there are much, MUCH worse songs out there (starlight, nsc, overdue, IBTY >I don't care if it was supposed to be a pisstake< and now Madness). Guiding light is quite enjoyable at parts. I despise the synths which are pretty unnecessary, but for example the solo and the chorus after it are imo pretty damn good. all in all, I'd choose Guiding Light over Starlight and NSC any time. (say, you guys ever noticed that muse never really had a good time with lights? I mean twilight, starlight, guiding light...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I like Starlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirthas Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It almost makes Invincible sound good. Invincible is very good, in my opinion (if you can stand the cheesy lyrics ) Guiding Light, though... meh! Nothing special :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racket Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I dunno if I love it so much I can't get enough of it, but I wouldn't dare skip it either. Do adore it quite a bit at times, and it was one of my favourite songs at Wembley. *shrugs* It's my occasional fuck buddy I guess rather than full on emotional bleurgh with about 30 other songs.

Mutran Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I love it. It's rythm it's catchy, what can I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaF Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 So, now we have 7 haters, 6 lovers and quite a few 'OK'ers. That's not too bad. It's nice to see some others on here saying they like/love it as personally I really don't think it's as bad as some say it is. I think the poll could have done with another category between 'love it' and 'decent' (or whatever the second one was). I like Starlight too - no spoiler required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edeslash Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 A bit bland and slow but some of the sounds and melodies are incredibly beautiful. Especially the vocals. The only part I dislike is the beginning. When the bass kicks in I can't stop loving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis III Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Heard it for the first time in ages today... I enjoyed it. Yeah, it's cheesy and overly melodramatic and derivative of "Vienna" by Ultravox but... I'm a sucker for the guitar and synths. It's mainly the tone, I guess. The vocals are nice as well, and it builds up into a pretty decent, dramatic climax. It's still not something I would listen to very often, but as for it being the worst Muse song ever like everyone seems to claim...nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It gets ruined from the moment that terrible synth starts. I don't think the rest is that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohenko Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It gets ruined from the moment that terrible synth starts. I don't think the rest is that bad. Pretty much this. The synth really ruins the song for me. And of course, it's also very boring and cheesy as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandaF Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 ..... overly melodramatic and derivative of "Vienna" by Ultravox I said that the very first time I heard it, I ve never heard anyone else say that! I like Vienna by Ultravox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I said that the very first time I heard it, I ve never heard anyone else say that! I like Vienna by Ultravox Really? The comparison is pretty common. Anyway, I don't like the song. Almost eveything about it makes me cringe. It's not their worst song but it's certainly not far from it.
