(If I had to grade them' date=' I would give Parachutes an 8 or 9/10, Rush of Blood a 9 or maybe even 10/10 if I'm in the right mood for it, and the new one, I dunno, it might be as low as a 3 or a 4. But numbers are stupid. Let's just say it doesn't compare.)[/quote']

 

I wish you'd listen to the acoustic set of Swallowed In The Sea and the live version of Fix You (storytellers) a couple of times and - without comparing with anything - give me three good reasons why this isnt even (what youre saying) half as good as any of the songs on the last two albums :) The only good reason for you to not like X&Y (unnatural bad production) drops in the live and acoustic versions... So Im wondering if youd change your mind about the quality of the new songs after listening to these.

7) Swallowed In The Sea

8) Speed of Sound

9) Kingdom Come

10) Square One

11) What If

It'll probably be completly different in a matter of an hour. That's one reason I love this album so much. ;)

1 - Fix You - THE most beautiful song I have ever heard and probably the one most likely to get scarves in the air at festivals.

 

2 - What If - VERY decent track with solid words and a powerful message. Chorus is a little weaker but hey, it's still brilliant.

 

3 - Swallowed in the Sea - the 3rd most beautiful song ever written, behind The Scientist and Fix You. Stunning.

 

4 - The Hardest Part - How can you NOT love it? It's easy to sing along to, very catchy, and though the words are slightly less powerful than some others, it's still a very good song.

 

5 - A Message - Grows on you, and when he sings "And I love you, please come home", that line is emotional beyond belief.

 

6 - Speed of Sound - probably so low because of it being a single and the fact I've listened to it over and over. For me it's the anthem of my AS-levels, as it's all I played that week on mp3 player. Live at Glastonbury, their 2nd best track behind Scientist.

 

7 - White Shadows - Again, could have been higher, a potential single, amazing up until 'Maybe you get what you wanted" which just takes the buzz out of it. Not bad though.

 

8 - Talk - Maybe I demonstrate my age by not knowing this is not an original, but it's a great song. Just lacks the edge and rememberability.

 

9 - Square One - I'll be honest, not the best start to the album, a little too instrumental for my liking, and it sounds too electric, if you know what I mean. The end of the song is fantastic though...'Or if you're stuck in square ooone'

 

10 - Low - As I sit here, I can't remember what this one goes like, exactly why it's at number 10, HOWEVER, now that I've remembered it, it should be higher! Just lacks the punch for me.

 

11 - Decent but not their best effort, I can sit and listen to it and it relaxes me but it's in no way exciting.

 

12 - Twisted Logic - I'll be honest...WTF?! Just odd, unusual, maybe it's supposed to be weird, I don't know, but it makes no sense at all and the instrumental isn't anything to shout about.

 

13 - Kingdom Come - Dull. Simple as. It has of God Put a Smile about it for me, but I liked GPASOYF because it had a louder, exciting chorus. This doesn't.

 

Overall I can see why some people don't like this album. Unlike AROBTTH and Parachutes the tracks are a little bit...samey at times. But overall, it's still a fabulous album, and it's staying on my CD rack for the rest of time.

A bit late but here is it.

I love the best songs for their beauty, honesty, simplicity, cathiness, and/or happiness.

 

I dont like the production of 'Square One' and 'White Shadows' and I cant get into these nor 'What If?' when they start off. 'A Message' is just not catchy and memorable enough for me. 'Low' is too bland and un-impulsive and suffers from the same type of production as 'Square One' and 'White Shadows'.
