galraedia Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I don't know about any of you guys, (and please only reply to this is you've actually listened to the whole EP) but I believe that Proof is actually the strongest song on the EP, totally not a rip of their AROBTTH material like Speed Of Sound was to Clocks, its got a touching soaring chorus and really should headline the EP! Just checking to see if I'm not the only one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimmulder Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I like Speed Of Sound the best, although Proof comes pretty close. I totally disagree that SOS is a Clocks ripoff though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galraedia Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 Not a rip-off, i just think that they hand't furthured their sound enough to be honest. I think the chorus to SOS could have been a lot better because the verses are good! I still think proof shines through although SOS is a good song. However I havn't a clue why Chris put Things I Don't Understand on the EP, never before has there been an album or EP "filler"! It seems as if this was chosen as it is standard for 3 songs to be on an EP so they had to pick one from the rejected bunch! The album will totally make up for it tho!

wimmulder Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 As Chris said Speed Of Sound is a bridge between the songs from A Rush Of Blood To The Head and the new material on X & Y. And as so, i think it's perfect. Ofcourse, it does sound a little similar to some stuff on the previous album but maybe they thought other songs would've been too much different from what the fans are used to. They don't want to distance themselves from their fans obviously. I think that's why they picked SOS as the first single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLOUDNINE Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Why do you guys keep calling it an EP, isnt it just classified as a single release. Just want to know for sure. Also im really excited to hear PROOF, seems like alot of people like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrywoman Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 an EP is a single released with 5 or more tracks.. hence this is just a 'single' :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
