s3ker Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Seeing the board rate Guiding Light above any music in the entire planet really shows the years are piling up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Born Lee Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Honestly, I only put the ones I'm even comfortable with seeing ranked below Guiding Light. They're closest to its badness. I cannot be bothered actually listening to these songs to figure out whether they're actually better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 GL is still v close to the bottom of my rankings for the last 4 records, only things lower are Big Freeze, Save Me, Prague (just) and Aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Save Me, Liquid State, Big Freeze, Aftermath, Get Up and Fight. I'm on board with this (sorry Chris) apart from Big Freeze. That song is so cute and definitely better than GUAF. Yes, even with the "stellar clouds of gas" lyric.

LewisF Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Big Freeze is a tune. “What words just can’t convey”, the solo, it just is good let’s be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 GUAF is honestly such a power tune, you’re all missing out big time I can’t sing it for the life of me but fuck if I don’t try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepp Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Not trying to diss GUAF because to be honest GL isn't nearly as bad as we all made it out to be at first Edit: well to be REALLY honest I do think GUAF is one of the most - if not the most - unoriginal, boring and un-muse songs in their discography, much more so than songs like TSP or TOADA that got criticised for this reason.

TOADA... unoriginal, boring and un-muse-y?? What kind of cruel monster would ever say such a thing?! I tried and had to stop singing after that. I'd probably faint.

Jobby Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I tried and had to stop singing after that. Same tend to give up about halfway through and I don’t even attempt anything else for the rest of the day I'd probably faint. Felt like I was gonna, greatly anticipate seeing Matt attempt it live if only to see how purple his face goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Born Lee Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Glad to see some defense of Big Freeze in here. I've always quite liked that song and don't really care how much it apes U2, it's bright and Matt sounds great on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountDracula Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 After listening to the album for several times in the past weeks (to a point where it drove my wife insane) I can finally do a "final" judgement of Simulation Theory. In terms of Muse albums´ ranking, Simulation Theory finds itself in 5th: 1- Origin of Symmetry - 10/10 2- Showbiz – 10/10 3- Absolution – 10/10 4- Black Holes and Revelations – 9/10 5- Simulation Theory – 8/10 6- The Resistance - 7/10 7- Drones – 6/10 8- The 2nd Law – 6/10 Now , in terms of songs, my ranking is as follows: 1- Algorithm / Algorithm AR Version – 10/10 2- The Dark Side - 9/10 3- The Void – 9/10 4- Break it to me – 8/10 5- Blockades – 8/10 6- Propaganda – 8/10 7- Dig Down Gospel Version - 7.5/10 8- The Dark Side AR Version – 7/10 9- Pressure - 6.5/10 10- Thought Contagion - 6/10 11- Something Human Acoustic – 6/10 12- Dig Down – 4/10 13- Propaganda Acoustic 4/10 14- Get up and Fight – 3/10 15- Something Human – 1/10 Since the album turned out to be so much better than I thought, I decided to give it a go again at a Muse concert - it´s been a while! - even though the prices for the tickets are a bit over the top be fair. Hope that pays off with 2 big openers, a nicer setlist (hoping for older songs due to the Origin of Muse collection coming out next year) and a pompous Muse style live show.

smoledman Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Well all the reviews are in and the consensus - the album sucks ass. Honestly this is where I get off the Muse train for good. I'll still go back and listen to the old songs, but I just can't give a rat's ass about this band anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Fantano's review isn't in yet, and like it or not he holds more weight with listeners than RS or Pitchfork anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
