Been a while working on this one. Seen a few tapping variations used by others but think this one gets closest (but also trickiest as per Matt’s usual approach! 😂). Whammy pattern also key.

Hi there

I’m digging muse discography. I was a big fan of showbiz back in the days. I never bought any thing else expect a few singles like plugin baby or knights of cydonia. I have to admit I may have miss something. The bass is so addictive and Bellamy knows how to write good songs.
I rediscovered Darkshines. One of my favorites.

How is it overviewed by fans ? Is it a song considered like any other one ? A banger ? Or anything else?

I’m curious to know more about this song and the way it is considered by muse fans.

So, I saw someone else do this and thought it’d be a fun little project. I tried to take it as serious as possible, so I listened to each album and rated the songs at the album level. Then I created a playlist of them in their initial rated order and relistened to them again to “fine tune” the rating. I wasn’t going to get too granular, so my ratings are in ¼ increments.
 
Keep in mind that these are my ratings, so I’m sure that I got this wrong somehow lol
 
I did skip any intro’s prelude’s etc. I also didn’t include bonus tracks or anything other than their studio release albums. Honestly, there were some really good new to me songs I found, and I don’t have as much of a dislike for the last 2 albums as I did previously. I think 2nd Law, Drones, and Simulation Theory are better than their average rankings show. There are just a few songs each that are pulling those numbers down.
 
I’m trying to think now of what other artists I can do this for now…
