Am i the only one who thinks the description of Violet Hill sounds awfuly similar to a certain opening song on X&Y? Opening and closing sequences included.

As soon as i read locust7's description of the song i was like..that's Square One, surely!

Time will tell lol

:thinking: "Long Coldplay"?? :P

 

 

 

Ehm, not exactly, hehe, ''viva'' means ''long live'', so it would be ''long live Coldplay''. ;)

I'd love to get a sneaky listen to Violet Hill today. "Sooner than you think"-thingy. It's my birthday today! I deserve it! :smug:;)

How does it sound? Answering what the song sounds like, seems in the vein of an opener as Square One or Politik, but the sound is different as I explained.

 

Where as Square One was full of synths and Politik was more orchestral, Violet main part is "instrumental", and piano, guitar, drum and bass are the main combined parts. Just slight synths on the beginning and end. Seems more organic but visceral.

 

For the guitar parts think of the central part of the three parts of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android", but with shorter and heavier guitar riffs, but this time combiend with a piano riff and a well defined drum and bass, when guitar and piano end.

 

Well, the song doesn't really sound like Radiohead, it's just an approximation on the kind of guitar you're going to hear. I think that's the main difference, but not only...

 

The important part is that it sounds great, and doesn't sound like anything before. Maybe just "A Whisper" but the song is not continuously like that. It has serious break "wow" moments. Pink Floyd "Dark Side" songs sound more like this.

they like the wham-bang openers, don't they? i was kind of hoping for something a bit different, but hey, if it's good, then i don't care at all. but i suppose a nice ease-into-it sort of opener like "don't panic" would have been nice too.

For the guitar parts think of the central part of the three parts of Radiohead's "Paranoid Android", but with shorter and heavier guitar riffs, but this time combiend with a piano riff and a well defined drum and bass, when guitar and piano end. .

 

 

:dance:

thanks for the added description!

 

i'm actually REALLY surprised this hasn't leaked yet... if it's on someones ipod, there must be a decent amount of people who have it/have worked with it and im just surprised its not out there yet.

^^that's what i've been thinking too.....we need that song....:thinking:

I'm suffering overwhelming impatience.

 

Every morning I wake up thinking "Today's gonna be the day!" And it never is :\

Does anyone notice the constant referencing to previous material already released about Violet Hill? r_________r

 

:lock:

:thinking: "Long Coldplay"?? :P

 

Like Magnus said - don't think Viva means "Long" - When people that talk spanish say Viva it actually means "Long Live"...

 

Locust keeps confusing me! Violet Hill sounds like "A Whisper" - that's one of the worst Coldplay songs - or like Chris would say: it's shit!

 

The locust compares the song to Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd??? Call me an idiot if you want but I don't understand!

 

And if you heard the song one time - how can you recall so much details? do you have it on your iPod!!! UPLOAD IT PLEASE!!!

 

cheers

Mariono the administrator of this site has verified that this is 100% legit, as you can see on the main page.

 

Yes! This description reminds me of a Whisper as well.

Exactly.

 

Ian only puts it there because it's news. Doesn't matter if it's true or not - same thing happened with the alledged "Viva La Vida leak".

hopefully we get a Prospekt soon...

ok ian said it's legit. he put the viva la vida link on the news WITH a question mark and never said it was a definite link. stop putting up the dancing lock and just relax. even if this isn't legit it makes no difference... this person description isn't going to affect when we hear the song or how good it is. it just makes us more excited which is a good thing.

Wow, I haven't read the whole description til today and I'm even more excited to hear Violet Hill now! Thanks for that!

WOTEVAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry I ever doubted you, sir!

He was very accurate....

So he was telling the truth after all!

 

No-one else seems to have spotted the Green Eyes connection yet?
