X&Y's "A Whisper"

Featured Replies

now..i know many of you are going to hate me for saying something about "A Whisper"...cuz a lot of you liked it alot....

 

 

but alot of us didn't really care for it that much

 

....i sorta do like it...but i usually skip

 

X&Y doesn't really have a Whisper track....I'm not really seeing me skipping any of these to get to the next...

 

they all are incredibly awesome

i skip tracks: "a message", "low" and "the hardest part".

 

i also skip "SOS", but only cause i hear it enough as it is.

 

good album

A message is my fave on the album !! I do quite like Low too but Hardest Part hasn't quite grown on me and I still love SOS. The track I haven't got to like yet is Swallowed In The Sea - just a bit toooo sickly for me. I i've got a love/hate relationship going with What If ?

i dont skip any, i agree that speed of sound would be the one to skip, but only cos i have heard it millions of times already... well certaintly about 70...

even if i was able to skip any tracks (havent gotten it yet), but i still wouldnt skip sos. I actually like it. Surprisingly, i would skip til kingdom come, but that's at the end...

I don't even dare to skip a track :sick:

i don't skip it, cause i know it'll grow on me, but a message is the only song that i'll have to put my foot down and say that the song would have been better without the synthesizer. it only works at the very end of the song, and i feel the song loses it's touch because of the synthesizer. it's the only song i feel would've fit perfectly with a more parachutes-esque backdrop, but that's just my personal opinion... :confused:

I won't say skip, but I listen to "What If," "Fix You," "Talk," "A Message," "Swallowed in the Sea," "Twisted Logic," and "Till Kingdom Come" more than the other songs on the album.

 

I listen to SOS too, just have heard it way too much.

I think they should have left 'The Hardest Part' as a B-Side and added Proof in its place. It would work well after 'Low' and it's a much better song than 'The Hardest Part,' which is the weakest song on the album. IMO that is.

yeah, "the hardest part" is the only song on X&Y that i dont love. every other song besides that is so badass, even like swallowed in the sea is badass. therefore making every other song more badass by default.

Jon, you should've compared it to Daylight, and not A Whisper...

I've only heard Twisted Logic twice since I bought the album last night and I must say I dunno if I'll ever get used to it or even listen to it again cuz it's kinda creepy... And I've only heard Till Kingdom Comes once... Doesn't really stand out.

And I really think the rest of the album is absolutely fab. I love every inch of the rest... :blush:

I was going to say the exact same thing about the topic title being 'Daylight' instead of 'A Whisper'.

 

In the history of my musical experiences, I have yet to find the perfect album that I don't skip at least one song. If all I'm disappointed with is one song off of an album (The Hardest Part being this one), then I consider the album a success. Even OK Computer has a song that should have been left off (Fitter, Happier anyone)?

Skip a song by my favorite band? are you nuts?

well... maybe one or two :P

sorry...daylight was just too freaking musical and emotional for me to skip...

...esp. when done live..and chris would sing with jonny at the end...that was ace

For me..."LOW" is the worst track of the album. Period :P.

Well, for once I really like "A Whisper" but I didn't like "Low" at first. Listening to it more however, it is definitely a great song and I like it a lot more now.

I think it takes time to get used to a brand new CD anyway, knowing you already love so many songs from their other CD's. Maybe it's just me. I always skip "The Hardest Part", it's my least favorite. On Parachutes I always skip "High Speed" - I despise that song.

oh my..me love high speed...again another musical wonder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok not wonder...but you get what im sayin...(sorry muscian...blah)

I guess I'm the only person that liked A Whisper but always skipped Green Eyes...haha.

 

For some reason I never really listen to Swallowed in the Sea. Or SOS...because I've already heard it a million times.

"The Hardest Part" and "Low" are tracks in the future I would skip like "A Whisper"

I rather skip "Daylight" than "A Whisper" on "Rush of Blood" :)

But the tracks I skip on "X&Y" are defenitly "Low" and "Hardest Part" ... why didn't the SOS B-Sides or "How you see the World" make it on that record :huh:
