nohopeinfear Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I like it because it blends so well with Collateral Damage and leads into US perfectly. It's not one to actually be skipped on a first listen of the album because it messes up the continuity! Oh and I do like the song for what it is, a stadium song that'll make for a better live/crowd pleasing track than an album one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZRD_zGo1M great idea to put an unreleased, copyrighted song on youtube... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0rb0 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 it's not 'unreleased' anymore. Even the Dutch online newspaper (nu.nl) released the whole album with hotlinks to another site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamsterminator Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 This is the only one on the Album I skip.. every time Sounds like the theme tune i'd expect to Highlander.. whatever sequel number we're up to now. If as people are saying, the guitar solo makes the song, well thats all of about 20 seconds of the least impressive guitar solo Muse have done to date, so for me, it aint enough to save the song! The Drum beat is good at least, so hopefully it will carry better live. Rant over, the rest of the Album trounces this thankfully, and makes it all worth the money (when I finally get my legitimate copy through the post!!)

Sventington Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Srsly, it's not bad at all. I really was expecting Invincible and Starlight crossbred but this is far more musically, lyrically and emotionally powerful than either of those two. Sure, it is a weaker track but it is by no means a duffer. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man_In_Showbiz Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I actually think its a great song! Not outstanding by any means but it fits in really well and one definately not to be skipped. Think it will sound great live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem1394 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I could never understand the hatred for Starlight. I cannot understand how anyone COULD like this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sventington Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I could never understand the hatred for Starlight. I cannot understand how anyone COULD like this song. I hold the exact opposite stance. We are now mortal foes. I demand pistols at dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chawknz Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The more I listen to it, the more I think I like it .. It should have been a minute shorter though. The last verse or two go on too long and don't add anything to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last verse or two go on too long and don't add anything to the song. Completely agree. I also think I belong to you should lose a minute from the end, might cut mine when I get the album.

Amy W Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Completely agree. I also think I belong to you should lose a minute from the end, might cut mine when I get the album. I think it should've ended after the little French singing bit. It kinda faded out and it would've been a cool ending but then it kicks in again. Although... the clarinet solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record I do rather like Guiding Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really was expecting Invincible and Starlight crossbred but this is far more musically, lyrically and emotionally powerful than either of those two. Sure, it is a weaker track but it is by no means a duffer. Lyrically and emotionally it's not too bad indeed, but musically it kinda just drools out of my speakers..

garseys Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 It's the weakest on the album, but in comparison to other muse tracks, its still good. I hate the synths/organ/whatever at the start. it completely takes away from that brilliant drum intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the aurora Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I actually feel no need to defend this song anymore. Heh. I love it. Some people don't. It's all good. Would you have preferred it without the synth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madzip Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I really love this song..... I feel like such a fangirl cos I am litterally spewing love in all the threads about the album and tracks (except IBTY - I HATE it). This song is really anthematic I cannot wait for it live. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 This was the only track on the resistance I wasn't sure about, it sounded like a filler, but then I read the lyrics! I've just read the lyrics - and now I want to bawl my eyes out! OMG! Just listened to and read the lyrics of Guiding Light and now listening to Unnatural Selection! OMG! This is quite some album!
