Best Coldplay song ever, straight from the first listen. For everyone really, a soft piano part near the start then the hardest rocking coldplay have ever done after the middle :D

 

Who agrees?

I've only listened to it once so far (waiting to get access to my Sennheiser headphones), but from what I remember it was among their best songs ever. It's not nearly as sweeping and epic as the reviews made it seem, but that's not a bad thing at all.

 

I absolutely loved it.

I... LOVE IT!

pretty damn good, dunno about the best though

What's the bit rate of the new songs?

Not sure, gotta be at least CD quality though, pretty good.

Not the best, but it's definitely great. I prefer Yes and Strawberry Swing.

I was going to say it's snoozer but then it picked up. mmmmm reminds me of the steadiness of Daylight.

I think on first listen this is my favourite on the new record! :D

Its amazing, I love the song. I'm not going to pick an album favorite until I've heard the album a few more times though.

yeah, definitely one of the best songs ive ever heard from coldplay. Love it!!!

its just wow!

 

but my personal favorites are

 

Lost!

Yes!

Chinese sleep chant

42 ofcourse

strawberry swing

violet hill

 

still hasn't listened to Life in technicolor though:(

i love the beginning part a lot, but not so much the latter bit when guitars come in, because the guitar riff reminds me of "go to sleep" which is my least fav. song on radiohead's Hail to the Thief

 

not to mention the way chris sings one line sounds exactly like "cuttooth" by radiohead

 

blehh

everything in this song is perfect, but I REALLY like the last part, after the solo... brilliant!

still hasn't listened to Life in technicolor though:(

 

The album version of LIT didn't leak yet, I think.

The beginning is absolutely beautiful.

Death and all his friends and the album version of lost! have not leaked yet right?

They have.

^Where i can get them???!!!

wow wow wow wow!!! I just love it... one of the best songs ever ever

I REALLY like it! I think its one of the strongest songs on the album :D

 

I think I'll have to write up one of those extensive rambling review of the album later this week, because there's so much to say, and so many re-listens to be done!

do I have to say again how amazing it is? this song baffed me a lot... the preview was bad but the full song It's gorgeous

Meh, I'm hoping it'll grow on me because everyone seems to love it but I don't. Feels like I'm missing out =(
