PG15 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 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. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffire Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 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.

eFlat Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfloodhive Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico il Pazzi Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 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! BORING !!! You must be kiddin' This is the most typical Coldplay fingerprint in this album !!!! Parachutes is boring too.

- DAN - Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FixYougirl Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 42 is one of the best songs of the album. I prefer Viva la Vida though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
