MUSEologist Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's like muse ft. bono I'm amazed it took so long for someone to say it was a U2 sound-alike. I see nothing wrong with that. But then I can judge a song on its individual merits rather than what a Muse song "must" sound like to be accepted.

EddieJ1984 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I dig it. It reminds of wacky workbench fro sonic cd (us soundtrack) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mamba Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I quite like the song, it's addictive, despite being the worst song on the album, which I guess is a testament to the strength of the album that is track and track of weirdness.

hobomania Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 As much as I find this song completely average, the only thing sticking in my head ALL day since listening to the album is THAT DAMN CATCHY CHORUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WutDaFucksy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 People are only saying this is worse than Guiding Light because they think it is the weakest on the album and need something to moan about. This is good and catchy, clearly not the best on it but in no way the worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's definitely not worse than Guiding Light. Nothing on this album stoops to that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Stil a big M-E-H. I tried, I failed. It's a skipper. The only one so far actually, I thought I'd skip Survival, but it kinda works in the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bellamylookalike Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's massively grown on me. Hate the U2 moments, especially the start. But love the chorus. Although like the past two albums, I wonder if I will be listening to this other than if it crops up on shuffle in a years time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketeer Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I still can't dislike this, especially with that tedious drag known as "Explorers" coming right beforehand. But I really can't tell whether that "electrical storm" line is a purposeful reference to the U2 song "Electrical Storm" or just hilariously ironic.

Dramatic Hammer Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Love the end of the verse where it sounds exactly the same as TSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sade Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The backing vocals that repeat certain words crack me up (in a good way)- the elongated "mercy" at 1.44 and "hearts" 1.52 in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The opening 4/5 seconds are identical to Mk2 by Radiohead. RIP-OFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Gah! I like this song now, dammit. Stupid infectious melody. I guess I should be glad, it's just that I was so sure it sucked. I still don't like the very beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googoogee1 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Definitely not worse than GL..but the only part i REALLY like is the chorus..probably one of the few fav moments of mine off the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girl of Cydonia Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I LOVE this song! It's one of my favorite Muse songs. It's different from other songs but that's what I love about Muse. They never make a song that sounds the same. Matt's voice reminds me a lot of Bono's voice in this song. Also in Madness but this one even more.

dekza Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 too bad it sucks..cos the chorus is really good! this song has potential.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althea Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Explorers --> into --> Big Freeze.....both together are like some part of a rogue broadway musical-theater production..... have to mention the 'Elton John' moment in Explorers right before 5:00 into the song.... Anyway, yeah, Big Freeze is U2/Erasure/generic-catchy-musical-theater, combined with really AWKWARD lyrics.... ......"collapsing in stellar clouds of gas" This album is SO that you have to love it!

Travis III Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Not a huge fan of the vocals in the chorus but I like everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt said they'd do a rock opera when they had enough suitable material from their back catalogue didn't he. These seem to be a concerted effort to do so.

Cyndris Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Don't like the verses much, love the chorus though, dat vocals! Oh and the non-rhyme of some lyrics irritate me a bit. 'Are you here, just because I need you? Can we hole up, a big freeze is heading our way.' 'Are you here, just to prove you're winning? Can we hole up, and ride out this electrical storm?' The fuck?
