Sounds great!! Totally different from Violet Hill, and at the same time different from any other thing that Coldplay has done. I'll be waiting for the complete song.

I'm glad I'm not the only one too. I'm a HUGE Geneses/Gabriel fan, so this make my day!

 

If you listen to the instrumental piano version, the chords are so Tony Banks it makes you cry.:)

 

Is there a live bootleg, or am I confused by this post?

something is telling me that i won't like the album as much as the others..

Although I'm a bit disappointed about "Violet Hill" so far, I have to admit that I like "A Spell A Rebell Yell". But you cannot judge a song while listening to it for only 30 seconds. Somehow it reminds me of U2's "Lemon"... :)

Love it, love it, love it. :)

oooOOoooh... Its definitely different from anything they've done before, and it sounds very... synth-filled... Could they finally be stepping out of their comfort zone? That would be amazing.

 

Yeah, I agree that it sounds like U2, only cuz he's singing in a Bono-ush voice... I cant judge about the goodness of the song, though, I'll have to hear the whole thing. :)

It sounds like Vangelis+Enya+U2 (it reminds me a lot to Joshua Tree's Mothers of the Disappeared)

Im starting to think this is great . Its soo different but only 30 secs but I do have a feeling its better than VH, and I also think even though I like VH, that VH will be the worst track on the album which is a good thing!

A Spell A Rebel Yell sounds more interesting to me than Violet Hill.....but at 30 seconds, it's kind of a tease, don't you think? And making the song a vinyl only release in a magazine that is hard for people to obtain here in the US is the biggest bunch of crap.

its hard to obtain for everybody outside the UK, so get on to ebay :-)

i'm sure it will appear on the vast information superhighway somewhere. :D

when is the single out, Rebel ?

I didn't really like what I heard in this short clip, but then again I really enjoyed Violet Hill.

that is an excellent way of looking at it

I have posted a lot of negativity about Violet Hill recently, but hearing this has given me hope about VLV. It sounds very odd, but that is a good thing. It's a lot less mainstream than VH.

 

The vocals sound very 'Echo & the Bunnymen', as someone pointed out to me.

 

If each song on VLV is as different to each other as VH is to ASARY then the album should have a bit of something for everyone on there!

 

There is hope yet.

 

Exactly! Even though, this song is ONLY a b-side, it sounds much, much better than VH. Maybe there's a logic in it? Maybe they want b-sides to be better than songs on longplay? Nevertheless, ASARY gives me hope.

i love voilet hill:o, but this b sida dosent sound wery great!:( i dont like all the synths. this song sounds like a bad pop song while voilet hill sounds like real music:P! thats my opinion :cool:

I've enjoyed a lot the snippet, sounds very promising to me.. somewhere between Mother Of The.... on The Joshua Tree and One Step Closer on How To Dismantle.. by U2

 

Plus, I can hear a little touch of Beatles " Tomorrow Never Knows " & Within You Without You "

 

And also " Who Feels Love " from Oasis...

 

Geeeez, I'm so desperate to listen to the full song that my imagination sees or hears stuffs when there's only a 30 seconds snippets....

 

LET IT LEAK :o)

Double post

that is an excellent way of looking at it

 

Thank you!:) I dont get that quite often:laugh3:

I'm not entirely sure I like it but we'll see.

Doesn't it sound a bit like My Bloody Valentine too?

I bloody love synthy Coldplay!

I think it sounds like Mothers of the Disappeared too

someone can rip it again plz because it doesn't work

Hmmm...exciting...and I cant wait to hear full song! I hear in it something, that reminds me of chinese or japanese traditional music, don´t you think so?

Yes it definitely sounds like Mother's of the Disappeared from U2's Joshua Tree (an album which Brian Eno produced).
