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 )

fix you reminds me a bit of amsterdam.....dunno how many people agree..... :embarrased: :P

fix you reminds me of everythings not lost

some drum beats on Square one reminds me of a Foo Fighters song (first single of their new album). I forgot the name of the song.

X&Ys strings = Pyramids songs strings

Is anybody reminded of songs from 007 movies, especially How You See The World?

X&Y and Twisted Logic...The Beatles!... :cool:

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.

Really? How does the rhyme go? :D

twisted logic reminds me of a wolf at the door.

talk reminds me of kraftwerk's "computer love"

talk reminds me of kraftwerk's "computer love"

 

It was their inspiration.

^ 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

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.

- Twisted Logic Opening melody "Some light..." - Hunchback of Notre Dame theme song "Someday..."

-

 

YES!!that's it, thank you,I was going crazy.

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?

- 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:

*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.

THANK YOU for thinking of Karma Police when you heard X&Y

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.

Speed of Sound piano - Clocks piano.

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

"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)

"Twisted Logic"'s bass line reminds me of the Beatles' song "Something"

The first opening of Swallowed in the Sea, that low synth sounds exactly like the first couple of seconds in No More Keeping my Feet on the Ground...yeah its only a few seconds but hey :P
