RA-D Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 OK, you have the album tracks and b-sides: how would you arrange the tracklist for the X&Y album and what would you leave for b-side material? Rules: 1. You must leave at least 3 for b-sides, so 15 album tracks as maximum (there's some bad math for you) 2. No ballistic weapons you have: Square One What If White Shadows Fix You Talk X&Y Speed Of Sound A Message Low The Hardest Part Swallowed In The Sea Twisted Logic 'Til Kingdom Come Things I Don't Understand Proof The World Turned Upside Down Gravity Sleeping Sun How You See The World (1 or 2) go! (PS: If you're really bored, say which you'd release as singles (not necessarily personal favourites)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The World Turned Upside Down (called X&Y) 9. Twisted Logic 10. Sleeping Sun 11. 'Til Kingdom Come 12. How You See The World (2) 13. X&Y (w/ different title) 14.

RA-D Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 if you were to design the Album of X&Y, using the songs that Coldplay have recorded in 2004/2005, how would you choose to do it? Which recorded tracks would you include on the album? Would you prefer one of the b-sides instead of one of the tracks on the released album? Do you think the tracks could be arranged in a different order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTaF Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Exactly as is, only without the hardest part and white shadows to be replaced by how you see the world and sleeping sun. Then the singles should be: Square one (b-sides: the world turned upside down and proof) X&Y (b-sides: gravity and white shadows) A message (b-sides: things i don't understand and pour me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix You (b-side; Low, How You See The World 1) Last Single. White Shadows (b-side How You See The World 2, X&Y) Square One would easily be the next single if Id have picked a 5th.

RazorEye Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 You know White shadows can't work unless it's gaplessly behind fix you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 What's with all the dislike for The Hardest Part? Anyway mine would be: 1. Proof 2. The World Turned Upside Down 3. Square One 4. What If 5. Swallowed in the Sea 6. Gravity 7. A Message 8. Things I Don't Understand 9. Speed of Sound 10. The Hardest Part 11. Talk 12. White Shadows 13. Fix You I'm not so much a fan of X&Y, Low or Twisted Logic so left these out. I love Til Kingdom Come but it doesn't really fit anywhere so also left that out and Sleeping Sun doesn't work either. I always feel albums should close better as well as the open so finishing with Fix You is a good way of going out with a bang (well the ending part is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
