PlugInFuckingBaby Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm tired of people bashing The Resistance. Guiding Light is not THAT awful and besides that, there aren't any weak tracks Compared to Showbiz, Absolution or any of their other albums? Really old as in...three days? a lot can happen here in three days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Compared to Showbiz, Absolution or any of their other albums? I wouldn't say Showbiz is better really. Maybe more raw and individual but the material, barring the title track, Muscle Museum and a couple of others, isn't as strong IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked Showbiz and I think it's my favorite album, but I don't think there's a comparison between The Resistance and Showbiz...for one thing, Showbiz doesn't have a terrible track like TR does.

drawakangaroo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Overdue is pretty bad And Sober. Those songs are definitely worse than any on TR, except maybe Guiding Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I don't get all the hate for Guiding Light. It's cheesy but it's very listenable. Personally I think USoE is probably worse, as well as Exogenesis Part 1, although the latter is part of an awesome whole so I guess that's a bit different.

How dare you insult Exogenesis Part 1 is my favorite. USoE isn't one of the best or anything, but it's certainly more interesting than Guiding Light. Like I've said before, the first few bars of GL are good, but then the bass comes in and you realize that the entire song is going to be exactly the same.

I don't like United States of Eurasia much either...I don't like the sound or something, plus the lyrics. I think some people just don't like symphonies, my favorite of them was Part 2 for some reason, that's my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hattiakourri Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I don't get all the hate for Guiding Light. It's cheesy but it's very listenable. Guiding Light is the placid, boring cooldown song that they play before they play something that that the crowd actually likes. Notice what songs bookend it. It seems that they put it on the album for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I'm not really saying it's a great song musically, just that I like it I know it's not an amazing song technically but you can still like something without thinking that.

I know, I know. My favorite songs usually aren't that technically difficult to play. But Guiding Light is just... boring. It doesn't change at all, except for the guitar solo.

PlugInFuckingBaby Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I think Guiding Light would be good if someone else sang it....It could be considered the worst Muse song but if Gaga sang it it would be her best.... I don't like SMBH, don't like the song, shit lyrics, too poppy for me. It's catchy but that's about it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
