CarrieB Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I do like it, I've decided. It's grown on me. It's catchy, a sort of feel good, song. An enjoyable listen. I like it better on the CD player than through earphones. It will make a good stadium song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joffoir Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've tried to like this song, honest, but after numerous listens I have come to the conclusion that it sucks. It sounds like a B side and worse still, its middle of the road radio 2 friendly AOR. I would go so far as to say it the worst song on any Muse album so far. (Neutron Star Collision not being on any Muse album). Guiding Light gets some stick, but it was surprisingly awesome live. I can't see the same happening with this song -I think its those cheesy backing vocals and the U2 style guitar that kills it for me. Just my opinion, don't slay me for it.

Farelial Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Still hasn't grown on me. And it never will. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z5-P9v3F8w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joffoir Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Good good, I'm with you so far.... ...aaaaaaaand you've lost me. I know, I wasn't expecting to like it, in fact I almost used it as the "take a leak" song, but Feeling Good was just before it so that moment had passed. I remember saying afterwards, "that was surprisingly good". Birmingham NIA 2009 I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrinking Universe Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The song no one wants to talk about apparently. The FAWY of the album. I've rarely seen a thread that starts with such blatant blasphemy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You.Make.Me.Sick Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 At first I didn't really like t and I would skip over it. Now that I listened to it a few times, it is one of my favorites. It does get a little boring at some parts. I think if it stayed more upbeat for more of he song it would be better. But as it is it's catchy and easy to get into.

Corona Radiata Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So I downloaded the instrumental version of the 2nd Law and I'm listening to Big Freeze and I'm hearing some extra instrumentation that wasn't on the album. There are noises that sound like an old Atari throughout the song that would have brought the cheesiness of this song to new levels if they were kept on the album.

There are noises that sound like an old Atari throughout the song that would have brought the cheesiness of this song to new levels if they were kept on the album. I actually like it a lot better. Would have helped make it sound less like U2. Keep the video game instrumental part, and remove the silly background vocals, and it would have been a song I enjoy.

AguanteRiver Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well then at least it will have more momentum than Guiding Light did, live. ...pretty sure that Nishe had more momentum live than Guiding Light. At least at the gigs I went to. Back on topic, this song got my mom's seal of approval, joining the illustrious ranks of Supermassive Black Hole, Uprising, Knights, Butterflies and Hurricanes, Follow Me, Madness, and Save Me. It's still growing on me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTM Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 The song is lost on me until the "hear me" chorus comes in which is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foldingstars Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 This songs deserves more appreciation, it's really good. Not their best work, but still more than decent Can't wait to hear its live version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbo Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 This song would have been far better had it only focused less on the constant guitar strumming and more longer chords. I dunno, it's not really bad. It's just mundane as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museic Syndrome Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Does anyone who is into Coldplay think the very end of the song reminds of A Hopeful Transmission a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Worst on the album imo, but still pretty good. I like the chorus and the MoTP effect is always nice to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This song would have been far better had it only focused less on the constant guitar strumming and more longer chords. Agreed. Does anyone who is into Coldplay think the very end of the song reminds of A Hopeful Transmission a bit? People actually listened to Mylo Xyloto?

Curlyxz Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It's growing on me a bit. I still think it's the weakest track on the album by far, the verses just don't do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uccellino Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think this might be my favourite song on the album. Played it 3 times driving home from work, the chorus is so addictive! It and Animals are my faves I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
