Dang it Nuse! I’m not that good of a hacker! I want to listen now
:3
With huge thanks to StarWars for critisizing!
Featured (again).
Thanks, Fire.
Man this song is good.
4.5/5.
This would probably be the most apt time ever to say: 'Nuff said.
I have to say it was really well done but…
Holy crap man… i don’t think you’ve made a more repetitive song D:
Rated 5 tho, and that drum solo was kinda wierd… since you suddenly went from no drums to a bit of drums to drum solo! it left me saying “lolwut?” and i had to go back because it was so sudden i couldn’t enjoy it D:
(I bet my songs leave people like that tho too so w/e)
Repetition is a small price to pay for 7 minutes of pure “insta-feature” material. Besides, you should have listened to the 9 minute version first, it’s much worse on that aspect. And did you even see my review?
I know, the solo was very random!
And (for the seventeenth time) thanks again Star.
I think i forgot to say
I LOVED IT 
THANKS!

I know the song is bad blah blah I just want my free effort points 
Now I do like this song because it conveys a lot of what the name of the song implies.
There’s so much that I like about this song. Maybe the beginning could have been twice as long, but I would consider sheet 6 part of the intro. One funny thing I think is I would’ve finished that piano intro or verse whatnot at the 29th measure. Instead you continued it pretty well.
Now a biggest thing for me is sheet 29 and 30. After the disastrous sounding sheets before [in a good way though haha], it was nice to hear a more heroic tone to it. And then the transition from sheet 30 to 26 was pretty much perfect.
Instrument choice was pretty darn good, repetition was actually not a problem at all. In fact, the song is enjoyable to hear older sheets again. Modifications helped keep it sounding good, and made things much less boring, if at all.
The few ending notes could have sounded better with maybe the rhodes chord notes going up faster, but that’s just me.
Drumming was pretty standard and fit well into the song. You definitively improved on that.
Okay, so here comes the rating. Star’s scale I would say 4.4/5 because there were some minor things I just didn’t like. Like how the extremely low octave reverse cymbals were used so often [and how long the durations were]. I think I would say you are one of the higher people on notessimo now.
since when was nuse not one of the higher people on notessimo.
Feature…

I like this more than golden sands <3 and golden sands was my favorite :3
you should wait until muse requests it to be featured.
It gives me satisfaction to see other users giving critique. Still though, I want to put my own review down for this song, but I will be adding comments about Octo’s review through-out, where I agree and disagree.
First off I’d like to say that the intro was superb. Normally it would’ve been okay but it surprises me how far a few effects can go towards setting a specific mood for the song. Really well done job here, and instead of saying the intro is too shot, I would say that sheet 8 is out of place. I took it out, and I agree that it would’ve been an awkward start to the song if you had used sheet 6, but I don’t think sheet 8 compensates well enough, mostly because it doesn’t build up anything. Imagine if you had faded in the rhodes and strings, then the intro would have been that much better. I consider sheet 8 to be an intro to the intro, which continues until sheet 11.
Moving on, it’s easy to see your styling in the beautiful melodies. In the opening sheets though, I would say that I didn’t like the drumming, nor did I like the bass. Starting with the drums, the kind of beat the snare plays should be replaced by a soft high-hat, which would make it less intrusive on the rest of the song. And the bass is just too simplistic. I also thought the rock organ was the wrong choice for this type of song, maybe a percussive or church organ would’ve worked better? Now that I am behind the scenes (meaning the incredible melodies), it’s easy to see the flaws in the song that you don’t notice otherwise (which in this section end up being everything that doesn’t have a lead role).
So now I’m at sheets 29 and 30. I must admit that the power of these two sheets really boost my opinion of the song, and the use of instruments is just so much better. The drumming is more overshadowed here, which is why it fits in better (remember that the only reason your style of drumming is bad is because it’s disruptive). Again, I really love the small details, like the glockenspiels (even though they were reused) and the background clarinets. Not much more needs to be said, but I agree with octo here, these two sheets really are the songs “silver lining,” in both the literal and metaphorical sense of the phrase.
Next sections has, if anything, an even better melody than the last. But unfortunately, more bad decisions were made in the realm of instrument choice. The biggest problem is the massive chords, there are too many instruments layered on them. Every single one of them is harsh and unforgiving, mostly due to the piano I suspect. In fact, I removed them (thank you for putting them in a separate sheet!), and the chords are nowhere near as abrasive. Sheet 23 is much better on this front, and bleeds out the power well.
Sheet 35 and 37 are a repeat with a melody over them. After the previous sheets, the repetition of the opening sheets isn’t bad at this point. I didn’t find the effects to be as helpful as they were in the beginning. Sheets 20 and 21 would have been acceptable too, but you got rid of what made sheets 29 and 30 great, the powerful background. I didn’t like the sitar either, it’s too happy an instrument to be taken seriously. And then, sheet 34 came and I was getting hopeless, think you’d reached that point where you stop working on new material and start recycling old stuff.
Funnily enough, when a real repeat sheet came, I was actually happier. Sheets 39 and 40 revived my interest in the song, and right after, another rehash of sheets 29-30. But this time, I think it fits the song better than anywhere else. The outro really sells the song, and even though sheet 44 is exactly what I expected it to be, the only real problem I had with the ending is the ending chord, it should have been filled with malice to really finish the song sadly. The rhodes don’t hold a chord well, and because the strings play a 5 chord instead of a minor one, the ending is almost happy. It doesn’t help that that was the one place in the song that begs for a reuse of the low reverse cymbal, more than any other part of the song
Despite all that I have said, I actually really liked the song. It’s no Utopia, but apparently that’s just an opinion that I have and no one agrees with, so meh. 4.1/5
Oh, and I guess I forgot to agree and disagree with Octo in all the key places…oh well it should be obvious. Muse has been a Demi-God tier song maker since he posted Golden Sands.
Don’t need to, as long as 3 people say yes and he DOESN’T say no, it will be featured
Agreed, then he slowed down how often he composed is that a demi-god and higher thing?
Also, the cymbals would have to be quite repetitive…i did notice that…but as you probably all notice, i usually only follow the leads…unless I focus on something else…i loved this song, its now my favorite <3 but i think Golden Sands is still beyond epic in it’s own way
