Jaytheblue Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 ^Umm, that wasn't a b-side. It was released as a single so... + What a great throwback to the oldplay days. It's the "The Scientist/Fix You" song of the album. - I think a little more practice time with the vocals would have made it alot better. The electronic drum beats bother me too. I replaced this song on the album with the live version. Army Of One Oh oops I meant not on Viva I don't know why the hell I said b side. + they brought back the organ sorta, good guitar throughout. Nice concept of 'Army of One', good medley - slightly forgettable, a lot of 'goods' but a not a lot of 'greats' Talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefter Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 + I like existential crisis Chris lyrics: 'when you feel like a puzzle but you can't find your missing piece' I get you Chris - takes too long to get to Jonny's crazy solo Wish they'd play it live again! I loved the techno Talk/GPASUYF they used to do on the B Stage Birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftrightleftArchi Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 + Absolutely Love this song! My fav. Out of AHFOD. Reminds me of the Pre-Night Visions Imagine Dragons somehow with a bit of HLH magic. - Terrible, TERRIBLE ENDING. All the excitement that builds up to the finale as you listen is tossed away and leaves an ugly aftertaste. Murder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 + Love the melody and the "waltz-like" rhythm. Haunting vibe. - Lyrics are bit too morbid hehe also I think its slightly too long. Lhuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp3176 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The Hardest Part: + Gorgeous melody, everything flows very nicely together, piano sounds amazing, great guitar work by Jonny. overall just a really beautiful and nice track. Top 5 in X&Y for me. - As beautiful as it is, I find it hard to remember anything about the song except the first minute or so, so I have to listen to it again. Most of the lyrics are very good, however, some could be better. Now that I've listened to it again, it kind of sounds weak for some reason. I don't know what it is... however it has a strong enough melody and guitar work in the second half of the song to still be in my Top 5 for X&Y. It's also really repetitive.

I ran away Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 +like the line "For you I waited all these years" - the melody really sounds as if I've heard it on more then one folk song before; don't like the instrumental sound too much; I also would have preferred Twisted Logic to be the album closer Murder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why I love Til Kingdom Come and it's melody, I haven't heard it a lot and love the so relaxing. But if maybe I heard more folk tracks I'd not like it as much but I want to like TKC XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe folk was the right word, but I really feel I've heard the melody previously in "traditional" songs here. Also, I'm really angry at it preventing Twisted Logic from being the closer, becauseTwisted Logic for me is the perfect closer and fits better to the mood of the album. (Same with Amsterdam and AROBTTH, by the way.) OK, then: Amsterdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthamic Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Amsterdam + can't really explain; it's just a very beautiful song :dazzled: - not the best choice for a closing track imo Charlie Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arushofjacktothehead Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Charlie Brown + Great intro and piano outro, gets everyone up and jumping, I adore this song - This song should be before Paradise on MX, a tad short imo Swallowed In The Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, then: Amsterdam Interestingly enough Twisted Logic is the perfect lead-up to the closer in my personal opinion... it's the best job that Coldplay ever did to lead up to a closer, besides DLIBYH. But yes everyone has their own opinions :D Also I don't really feel like that with Til Kingdom Come, I think the melody is nice and relaxing and original (although Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground is essentially a rehash of Til Kingdom Come so maybe that's why you feel like you've heard it one to many times) but for me the instrumentation is very relaxing and suits the song perfectly. However one song where I feel like I've heard the melody before is Amazing Day. I really adore the song and is the second best of AHFOD IMO but it just sounds so unoriginal and a little bland to be honest... the melody throughout the song I feel like I've heard so so many times before and it's a little bland up until the "ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh" part (that part and after that is so freaking powerful, and that's why it's the runner up to my favorite song IMO).

appleguyjoe Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Swallowed In The Sea + Has a lot of emotional meaning to my life and how it applied to people in my past. + Vocals are sung simply yet sweetly, the instrumental, I feel, comfortably coincides with the vocals nicely. - One of my favorites of theirs, so really my complaint is that it ends lol O (Fly On) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastwars Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 + it's very heartfelt + it has a good melody - lyrics are not that good - vocals don't intrigue me, even thought they quite fit with the ambience Bigger Stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp3176 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 + Vocals are great, sound very different from today, definetely a very different song from what you'd expect today, great tune to rock out to - Don't know, except that it'd probably be my least favorite out of the "early days" era (pre-Parachutes) Life in Technicolor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyrott1 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 X Marks The Spot + It is definitely Coldplay experimenting with a new genre, and the production isn't all that bad. Jonny's hip-hop guitar is a nice touch and Will's (So I Race for it.....) is the most prominent Will part on the album. Decent beats, nice glitches. If you hate this song, the instrumental isn't that bad. -Lyrics....are.....:mask:..... I can't help that "I got a rocket, eyes on the prize." is incredibly immature. Also, the bass lines are a clear rip-off of Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pools.... Chris Martin is not a rapper.....Also, this is the song before Amazing Day??? Talk about a song that does not fit into an album. Spies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
