June 3, 200521 yr old talk is much better there is no question that the old Talk is superior to the new talk. see gentleparachute's above post. the bridge and guitar explosion of the original would have been the highlight of X&Y, which I find to be very cold and impersonal, and lacking of the trademark coldplay emotion they injected into their first two albums. It seems they were trying too hard. And Martin messed up the best song on the album in Talk. Why did he change Talk anyway? Do you think Martin was mad that it was leaked and changed it in response, or do you think that since it is a future single, the worry was that it wouldn't have as much effect on sales since it had been in the public for so long?
June 3, 200521 yr I'm not digging the new one too much. While the old one sounded good, I thought it was a little... I don't know, repetitive for some reason. I wish they added more of the old song to the new one, but blah... oh well.

Do you think Martin was mad that it was leaked and changed it in response, or do you think that since it is a future single, the worry was that it wouldn't have as much effect on sales since it had been in the public for so long? I was wondering the same myself... Just couldn't figure why they changed a perfectly good song. Well, I must say the new Talk fits the whole album better (although a change midway through the album in the form of the old Talk probably would've been good for the album). I heard they weren't too happy with the song being leaked though why they had to totally change the song. I don't know... They could have just tweaked it. It was near perfect already. Actually I think I would've been far happier (for now at least) if the whole album sounded more like the old Talk.
June 3, 200521 yr I did like the old Talk more, but after listening to it again, I think the new one is alot better.
June 3, 200521 yr Man. The hatred towards the new "Talk" continues to grow................................. :disappointed: :cry2:
June 3, 200521 yr Man. The hatred towards the new "Talk" continues to grow................................. :disappointed: :cry2: I wouldn't call it hatred... Or even dislike. Just very high expectations
June 4, 200521 yr the old talk sounded wayyyyyyy too poppy. the new version's bridge is fucking amazing, especially the part where the band rocks it all out right before chris sings the old corus. this album's the real deal, guys. there's no turning back now to the long-gone brit pop sound.
June 4, 200521 yr The newly added beats and the guitar riff at the end make the overall sound of the new TALK better than the original's, but the new lyrics are terrible, possible the worst ive ever heard by coldplay.l
June 4, 200521 yr ya I have to admit im now getting accustomed to it and i fink im starting to like it better than the old Talk...

June 5, 200521 yr Coldplay has definatly changed their sound. There wasn't much piano work on Parachutes, but there was more on AROBTTH. I like the direction in which they are going. I think their new sound is great.
June 5, 200521 yr oh ya and one fing i like is it at the end where Chris sings the original chorus...or the chorus that was on the old Talk....maybe he sung it throughout this official version and i didnt notice it but ya
June 5, 200521 yr Okay which is the new Talk? I just downloaded one that says: "under the great north star" I guess that's the old one?
June 5, 200521 yr Yup that's the old Talk. The new one should start with "Oh brother I can't believe it's true..."
June 5, 200521 yr Okay, here other quest. In the old version, what is Chris saying before that "I'm trying to sing a song In a language I don't speak" is he saying something in other language? what does he say? who can answer me that?
June 5, 200521 yr he's not singign in another language. when i get the lyrics ill post it. he's jsut saying it metaphorically, jsutgenerally speaking. not aactually singing in another language
