gentleparachute Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 What other music does X&Y remind you of? Here's my list: :D - Square One Will’s snare at 2:30 – Radiohead’s Hail To The Thief. Song “There, There”. Last 2 snare-rolling motifs - Square One The guys singing “O-o-oh, Who-O-o-h…” at 2:20 – Kasabian’s singing style on title album e.g. “Club Foot” / “Reason Is Treason” / “Processed Beats”. - X&Y baseline, especially around 3:00 - Karma Police (Radiohead, OK Computer). "I lost myself..." part baseline starting from about 2:45 - The Hardest Part "I could feel it go down..." - Wild Honey (U2, All That You Can't Leave Behind) "You could go there if you please... Wild honey" - Twisted Logic Opening melody "Some light..." - Hunchback of Notre Dame theme song "Someday..." - How You See The World the 3-chord "la ti do" guitar progression just before "It's how you see the world..." in the 2nd half of the choruses - A Beatles song: Imagine? (somebody help me... :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugadawg5 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Chris said this in an interview, but the end of What If was taken from the end of the Beatles' A Day In the Life. Also, the opening lyrics of Swallowed in the Sea remind me of a mother goose rhyme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentleparachute Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 ^ Does anyone here actually have the song (Computer Love) or has listened to it? Is it anything like Talk? You guys, keep posting :angry: I can't believe X&Y doesn't remind you of anything... I still have like another half-page list. Or maybe you guys think its :rolleyes: and :snore: :embarrased: Aww, come on. I know you can do better :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam528 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002GYI/qid=1122556353/sr=8-2/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-7763732-0215968?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 Listen to the preview on the bottom. The first riff is exactly the same. The second riff isn't featured in Talk. Other than that, the songs aren't close to similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah87 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 - Twisted Logic Opening melody "Some light..." - Hunchback of Notre Dame theme song "Someday..." - YES!!that's it, thank you,I was going crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racheld Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 the White Shadows part where he sings, "Maybe you'll get what you wanted..." always reminds me of that Prince song... I'm not sure of the title but he sings something like, "maybe you're just like my father.." I dunno, anyone else know what I'm talking about?

gentleparachute Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 - Twisted Logic Opening melody "Some light..." - Hunchback of Notre Dame theme song "Someday..." - YES!!that's it, thank you,I was going crazy. Haha... I know. That was the first thing that struck me when I heard that song. But I rather think the similarity was unintended though coz I can't imagine them trying to imitate a Disney song :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertNite Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 *Sunlight opened my eyes ...Rivers will run...(.then the bass comes in )reminding me of the "Beatles" in parts throughout the whole song. *When something is broken...Trying to repair it anyway I can. Ooh ooh...oohooh ooh, ooh. Makes me think of "The Beach Boys" with that vocal style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Twisted Logic reminds me of Radiohead a lot. The lyrics about computers and the future are something you would hear on OK Computer, and the music too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentleparachute Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 THANK YOU for thinking of Karma Police when you heard X&Y Haha... the thing is, I only got OK Computer AFTER I bought X&Y. I was nicely settling down to it (OK Computer) and then all these things on X&Y started popping up... that baseline is unmistakeable :lol: I love the similarities between these two albums- they're so different yet so alike :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackled Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 "White shadows" reminds me of "Politik" because of the energy, the effects, the strings and, above all, the last part of the two songs: they have the same harmony in a different key; they are soft and very deep. There's another thing about Coldplay and Radiohead: their first albums(Parachutes - Pablo Honey) were followed by much better ones! (A rush of blood... , X&Y - The Bends, OK Computer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
