beeSides Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 the lyrics i was cringing. that was first listen. again...songs that i think are really weak lyrically or cheesy in the music department i still usually learn to love eventually for some reason. but yeah...i wanted to crawl under something.

beeSides Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 this is a very boring song, i hope it is better live Celine Dion should make a cover of this, just to be spiteful :LOL: omg...that shouldn't be funny but it is. *pounds chest* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiko Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Your having a laugh my friend Unnatural Selection pisses over both of them, that said Invincible is also far better than this dull affair. Unnatural Selection is starting to remind me more of TSP and TOADA, and i've probably stated how much I dislike these two songs a million times on these forums. I do like Unnatural Selection, but it really isn't anything special and doesn't really stand out in the overall Muse music library. It sounds like old Muse material rather than just reminding me of old Muse material and so it looses a few marks in my book. I don't find Guiding Light dull at all mind. I know a lot of people would agree with you, but I enjoy the song a lot actually. I wouldn't go as far as to say its one of their best, but I really like it.

jbyun04 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I was iffy on the Guiding Light 30 sec preview.. the whole song makes everything sound better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaZZeX Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I genuinely enjoy it. It's so cheesy, it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samara Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I like the song (and Invincible for that matter) but it does sound like a power eighties balled, I was driving last night listening to Resistance and I have to confess to winding up my windows when GL came on because I was sure everybody would think I was listenign to Best of the 80's not the new Muse album...

croekk Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Easily the worst thing Muse have ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunavi Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 if they put a killer track instead of guiding light, I think the resistance would have been so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ril Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Heavy Riffs >>>>> Dull, generic, predictable, cheesy, power-ballads. I know but the guitar solo. It's made of win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 This definately is a 80's style power-ballad, but it has an awesome guitar solo to go with it. This is exactly what I think about it (shoot me if you like, but I can hear more than a touch of Roxette's 'It Must've Been Love' in the drum beat!!) Think it's great though!

Ask Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Great song! Yes it's cheesy (it's Muse duh!) but i think it works very well the 1984 theme of the album. I can't help thinking the plot through when hearing the album. Awesome book awesome album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs_bellamy_ Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) I think Guiding light is good Edited September 13, 2009 by mrs_bellamy_ Changed my mind about brilliant after hearing other Resistance songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs_bellamy_ Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 it reminds me of "My Guiding Light" by Evermore. Way too much. no one will know the song though. damn I've got Dreams and Real Life on my iPod People do listen to evermore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apocalyptickaoss Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 this should be a christmass release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeLulz Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It's supposed to be a super cheesy stadium type power ballad. On the DVD Matt bursts out laughing after hearing himself play the solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurophu Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 ok after my pretty short honeymoon period on this song (others are still in it ) i've had a pretty depressing revelation.. in my opinion, and after just listening to the both on a fluke through random ipod shuffle (unnatural) selection instant messenger >>> this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked Annabella Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Guiding Light is my fav song of the album right now. It is. Really. But I bet I can't listen to it after a while. I like the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemsy Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Don't really like this at all. Certainly a 'skipper'. BUT. It's growing on me ever so slightly... Not as shit as Starlight. Or even Invincible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
