Martijn Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I will pick New Born without a doubt, fantastic song and that first riff is pure epicness. Unnatural Selection is a good song, but New Born owns it big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 New Born. Still the best song they've made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origin of basses Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Unnatural Selection: I love both but I have heard US live... It was amazing! and definately not new born because if you have seen that one live you would have chosen that one!!!! it's one of their best songs live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStar97 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 hmmm..... It's a hard question. I'd say Un-natural selection- but only because I used to like listening to it on frosty mornings on My mp4 REALLY loud on the way to school x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 and definately not new born because if you have seen that one live you would have chosen that one!!!! it's one of their best songs live I've seen both live and I would still chose US However, I love Newborn too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancMuse Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 New Born for me every day of the week, I just love the piano intro. The lasers accompanying it on the Resistance tour were one of the best things I have ever seen live. However I wish Matt would not muck around with the solo so much like at the Den. The version on the Absolution DVD is my favourite because it has the best solo. US was amazing at LCCC and the riff at the end is fantastic, I wish they would do a 2 minute version of that instead of some of the other jams/riffs they do. What lets US down is the overlong slow middle bit, but it is still one of my fave songs on The Resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom//P Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 New Born not only beats Unnatural Selection it beats pretty much everything else. I'd say it's in the top 3 of the best live songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frakkles Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 and definately not new born because if you have seen that one live you would have chosen that one!!!! it's one of their best songs live But US is better live than NB is. I've seen both, in the same show, and Unnatural Selection is MILES better live. New Born has died as a live song since Matt stopped playing the intro.

Frakkles Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Can I also say, Unnatural Selection as a song AND live. New Born live is over-rated, with or without Matt playing the intro. It adds to the feel and the atmosphere and the general pop but it really doesn't/shouldn't make that much of a difference. Unnatural Selection should stay in the setlists ahead of Eurasia, Uprising, Resistance AND UD. Only MK Ultra beats it as a song on TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.Howden Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Personally I love both songs for differing reasons and it'd be hard to choose one over the other. I love New Born for it's relentless drive and the main riff. I think my real appreciation for the song came once I'd got into writing my own music..I came to realise how hard it is to keep that kind of intensity going for that amount of time without it becoming sterile. In a way it shows you what you can do with a little by way of one general theme. Unnatural Selection is probably the song that engages me more because it has so many contrasting feels and moods packed into space of time it occupies and it's done in such a well arranged manner, and has a real cohesive flow to it. I think if I was given those seperate themes, feels, sections or whatever you want to call them! and told to arrange them well into a song then I'd struggle....which is why them guys are doing what they're doing and I ain't aha Firmly sat on the fence, Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blissful Desires Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 New Born definitely. Unnatural Selection just doesn't cut it for me unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty987 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 New Born definitely. Unnatural Selection just doesn't cut it for me unfortunately. I would have to say New Born is the better track live. As soon as the guitar kicks in it really gets a reception, and US just doesn't work as well IMO. Also, US live is extremely 'in your face' from the moment the guitar starts, i never felt the breakdown was too long (and the guitar sounds during the breakdown are AMAZING), but by the end of the song i have one of the worst headaches imaginable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudstep5956 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Unnatural selection. New born has a better chorus, but unnatural selection is so much more instrumental in relaying the theme of The Resistance. The guitar is about the same, and they both have slow parts that you are supposed to fastforward through. A better debate would be bliss and resistance.

dead-duck Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 New Born. Live and on record, even without Matt playing the intro, NB wins. US is good, and I like it better live than on CD, but the "I want the truth!!" as a line annoys me. It even annoys me more than the "birth squeeze", which i find one of the most cringe-worthy muse lyrics. I like the "oooOOoocean", but NSC has sorta tainted that It's like choosing between the Mona Lisa and a poorly done Chinese copy of it. Where NB = Mona Lisa. i find it sad that you felt that needed clarification Unnatural selection.

If you mean "better" as in "easier" then yes, because that is a very easy debate to conclude. Bliss is one of Muse's shining beacons, one of their masterworks live. Resistance... isn't.
