June 5, 200818 yr I was actually disappointed when I first heard; I had thought it would be epically epic like, say, Viva La Vida, but even bigger. That's not what I got. After a few listens though, I love it. I think a few more listens are needed. ;)
June 5, 200818 yr It's obvious the reviewers of this song were totally not paying attention while it was playing and made up some bullcrap about it sounding like Rammstein and there being three parts and a full orchaestra and a huge chorus. The only thing missing from their fake review was the sounds of a marching parade combined with all the mating calls from the Philadelphia Zoo animals.
June 5, 200818 yr this song is very good but it would be evening better if the hole song was the piano like in the beginging..................
June 5, 200818 yr Umm has anyone else heard the talking during the song at about 1:45? Or is it just me? It sounds like Chris saying something. Its not much but I was wondering if anyone else had caught it. Haha it scared the living shit out of me when I was rocking to it on headphones... :P
June 5, 200818 yr I love the song... the beginning sounds like something muse would have made. beginning sounds A LOT like "Ruled By Secrecy"! :stunned:

Haha it scared the living shit out of me when I was rocking to it on headphones... :P I heard that too!!That hella freaked me out!!I was listening to the song in my room in the dark with my eyes closed and i jumped when i heard that haha!
June 5, 200818 yr I heard that too!!That hella freaked me out!!I was listening to the song in my room in the dark with my eyes closed and i jumped when i heard that haha! Haha YES!! :lol: I was just listening to it before the Kimmel performance in the dark with my TV turned down and it scared me silly! He only says like one word, any idea what it is?
June 5, 200818 yr I love the song. It's a lot like their old stuff, so I like it all the more. Pure brilliance. Makes me think of a book I just read.
June 5, 200818 yr This track is Epic. The start and the end especially. Amazingness. Any clue as to why its called '42' though?

June 5, 200818 yr Some people on youtube are saying the end part sounds like Barely Legal by the Strokes which it does but who cares
June 5, 200818 yr Not sure if it's THE best ever, but I definitely think it's one of the best things they've ever done! It's absolutely sublime.
June 5, 200818 yr yeah it def. does sound like the strokes but that doesnt take anything away from the song, its great
June 5, 200818 yr I like the first bit, I like the second bit but I don't like the end section as much....don't like the lyrics that much. hmmm.... yeah
June 5, 200818 yr I'll be honest, 42 is probably my least favorite song on the album. I dislike the beginning and the end. Just very boring to me. but to each their own!

You must be kiddin' This is the most typical Coldplay fingerprint in this album !!!! Parachutes is boring too. Mmm, tell you something, Coldplay sucks :P
June 5, 200818 yr 42 is an amazing song, it is among their best for sure. The opening, with Chris and the piano, is superb. Then the build up and sudden switch to the robotic 'Radiohead' type loop is SO refreshing and unpredictable. The beat is menacing. Onto the third part of the song, again as unpredictable as mid-section, seems to be more from 'The Hardest Part' than anything else of theirs I have heard - although it seems to fit so well. Then to finish off with Chris and the piano, the icing on the cake. I love this song, with each listen it gets better.
June 5, 200818 yr I;m disappointed in this one so far. I was really looking forward to it. Gonna give it a proper listen when the album comes out though :D
