I'm not sure what to think about this song....

I like it... but is not good enough for be the 1st single, at least until now... I think I have to listen the song more times

i have to say that when i was listening the first time on BBC1 this morning, i was like "oooooh this is so vintage coldplay" until about 0:53 (on the DL version, not the radio edit...so like 0:20 or something on the radio edit), when jonny comes in with that chord of distorted guitar. then i sat up straighter in surprise and instantly rethought my expectations.

haha, that makes me laugh now in retrospect.

 

i also loooove the way that chris sings the last word of the verses, like "low" and "below", like they have three syllables. that's my favorite part of the whole song :D

I was listening to that as I read it. Spooky :stunned: :P

I don't know what all the negative fuss is about, this song is great. The best single I've heard from anyone in a while. It's fresh, it's new, it's the dawn of a new era for Coldplay. Well done boys.

 

+1

 

Couldn't say it better myself!

 

And awesome sig and av, btw. :P

I totally agree with you on that one :wink:

i can't stop listening. all other coldplay seems almost cheap to me right now. chris's voice at the end is so pure and brillant NOTHING can match it.

The novelty of Violet Hill has gone.

 

At the end of the day the lyrics leave a lot to be desired, the song structure is boring and poorly edited leaving a bass line that would fit nicely on any Kaiser Chiefs song. Before you think that's a good thing, it isn't - Kaiser Chiefs are shit.

 

Violet Hill was a safe bet for Coldplay, leading nicely on to 'bridge the gap' between X&Y and Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends.

 

If this was the influence Eno had on the band I am starting to wonder what else VLVODAAHF has to offer. Be afraid, be very afraid.

 

It pains me to say it but this was not worth the wait.

 

Coldplay are old, tired and have run out of ideas.

 

I guess I always have Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood To The Head.

The bit at the ("I took my love down to Violet Hill...") is lush. I've played the song 18 times today!

hay un = y un numero eso añadilo al link

I know I might have already posted my opinion on this song, but I was wondering... does anyone think it would stand much better when listened to in the context of the album? Don't get me wrong, I really like it, but it feels like we've been thrown in the deep end a little bit. Its almost like releasing Twisted Logic as a single for me - its dark and quite heavy, and it has a similar kind of grittiness to VH. But it doesn't seem like single material. I don't know, what do you guys think? Its kinda hard for me to explain.

 

I still love it though :D I think I would currently give it 8/10.

 

I agree. I think one of the reasons this was the first single is because its barely over 3 minutes long (not including the synth intro). It's not very often a CP song comes along and it's under 4 minutes.

everybody think what you want. its a great song.

When Jonny's guitar really kicked in I had that same smile/grin. I was just like "Yeahh, this is Coldplay, but on a whole new level". I'm so happy for them. Even from just this one song I can sense they've evolved as musicians so much from X&Y. I can't contain my excitement and I'm just so happy for C, J, G, W right now.

I LOVE it, 10/10 :D

btw info about violet hill being a free download and their free gigs was JUST on my local news station! :shocked2:

along with something else about Britney Spears...

I knew it! Your local news station ALSO thinks Violet Hill sounds like Toxic! I told you guys!

 

(lol)

By far the worst part of the song is the solo because its the same thing over and over.

 

but its still a good song! 8.8/10

i think Britney is not much listened these days saffire!

 

But coldplay is listened among haters and fans too!

 

i think its the difference there!:P

Can someone please post the link to the Youtube video of Chris and Jonny talking with Jo in the studio? I can't find it. Actually I'll post this in Multimedia and say that I love this song again.

I don't know...I like the lyrics and I like that it's loud...and there is nice guitar...but Chris's voice is kind of...ugh?

 

I have to listen to it a few more times.

They either need better mastering, or Chris needs better diction because all of us are having a hell of a hard time figuring out all the lyrics! :laugh3:

i don't know what to think. I mean it's great to hear a new song, and i think the lyrics are very good. I think since this feels like their going in a new direction i don't know really what to think, so i'm a bit confused and I think having to only hear one song just adds confusion because i have nothing to base it off of.

 

I do like the song with the lyrics and how it's darker, but i think listening to it more and getting the album will make a difference

Ooh, yeah, hearing the song off the unreleased album is sort of like reading a random chapter from a book you haven't read.

 

Maybe it'll make more sense and sound better with the other songs.

 

It's sort of growing on me, though.

This is one of the few Coldplay songs I can headbang... ever so slightly to. :laugh3:

 

Headbang isn't the right word tho, I don't think. :laugh3:
