i loved the old version, im lovin the new one, they are both good in their own right

:lol:

Old vs. new

 

Old Talk definitely was awesome with a driving tempo, and great lyrics,

but it did sound more AROBTTH you can hear Ken Nelson's work

 

New Talk, at first, I didn't like it bc I was used to the old one, but this one is definitely growing on me, and I really like it now and the lyrics are interesting

 

It's amazing how many variations of a song there can be, I would love to hear other versions of the other songs Coldplay must have gone through, but then again we'll have to wait for the complete Coldplay set

 

The guitar at the 4 min mark is awesome, and I'm glad they kept the ending chorus, I like the simplicity of the first one, and the complexity of the 2nd version.

 

By the Swallowed in the Sea is amazing, I hope they have a simple version just with the synth pads on a single release, Coldplay have definitely progressed

:lipsrsealed2: :cry:

i only listened to the new one once, but i like it better then the old one. i wasn't much of a fan of the old one, something about it...i don't know the word.

I hear ya mandy... I know what you mean. ;)

yeah im used to the old one rather than the new one. idk im more taking a liking to the old one

forgive my asking, I'm unable to download the old version at the moment- but what is the main difference between the two, besides the lyrics of course. I love the ending of the studio version but am just curious about the original.

I thought the old version relied too much on the Kraftwerk rift.

exactly, the rift is too repetitive!

 

unless they want to do a hip-hop crossover

the old one was more catchy and tight, to me the new one doesn't seem to know where it's going... i hate saying negative things about coldplay :(

I prefered the old version but everyone likes

different sounds. :D

i think the fact that the orignal was leaked just makes the new one even better. Now we have the same song we all liked, but now it has different lyrics and a different shape, but then at the end it reverts to the old lyrics.

But anyways, that ending is soo damn cool. :cool:

The New Talk is something you could drive to in your car :)

If Talk will be a single, then the old Talk would become a b-side, I hope :)

it has to be a single, it freaking rocks :smug:

oh its ridiculously good..it has to be a single..i think that its their most rock type song...and its fucking good

yes, I SO totally agree

fix you is gonna be the next single, and talk after that

I wish Fix You had the SNL ending in the studio version :/

Ok I liked the old version better....

I love the new Talk.. :)

New Talk: 9.5/10

Old Talk: 8.0/10

the ole one just seemed to flow better the new on is ok...

I agree. Maybe it's coz I've heard the new Talk after the old Talk... The new one's real cluttered once it actually kicks off & has too many things it wants to run through. It's lost emphasis (as with most of the album)... All the parts are competing: it's like on fff emotionally all the time.

 

And I'm sad they killed that great opening "Under a great north star...". Also the hypnotic bridge part from "I'm looking at..." til "Won't you talk, tooo meee...", and Jonny's kickass guitar immediately after that. Totally wicked!

 

The new one's growing on me, but it skates on being campy :P Still a good song. Which one? for now, it's a toss up
