Sonic85 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 After the first hour, Strawberry Swing, Yes and 42 are my top 3. I'd really love to hear the whole album in its entirety before ranking all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malcolmataylor Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Obviously, I've only heard these songs a few times each, but so far: Life In Technicolor - 8.5 Cemeteries Of London - 8 Lost! - 7.5 42 - 7 Lovers In Japan/Reign Of Love - 9.5/8.5 Yes - 4.5 Viva La Vida - 9 Violet Hill - 5.5 Strawberry Swing - 7 Death And All His Friends - 6 As I expected, this album is almost certainly the best thing Coldplay have ever done. Even better than A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Without a doubt. If you listen to that album now, the number of weak tracks far outnumber on this album. Plus, musically, this album is LIGHT YEARS ahead of anything they've done before (except for a few moments on X&Y). This is the album X&Y should have been - this is Coldplay's Great Leap Forward.

Magnus Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Opinions about the new album thread Ok, to sum up all threads saying you like it or not, how about a unified one. What are your impressions of the new album (for those who heard it ofcourse)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeIsOnYourSide Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 wow thats all i can say at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FedEx Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I think it's a good album, certainly a lot more experimental than their other stuff. All the songs are different though, something for everyone, but as a result I can't see why it would make a difference whether or not you listen to it all the way through or in pieces. Also I don't like the combined songs in that you can't listen to them individually, or skip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUSCHE Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Definitely the album X&Y should have been. Obviously can't compare to the first two albums till I've heard it a few more times but I am very happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRYSTAL Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 nothing more just wow! edits: well Chris himself was born and brought up there in britain. so he can definitely and must get influence to sing about Cemeteries of London.(and yeah i love UK and english too).beautifull piano ending too. Strawberry swings(this was one of my favorite songs ever since in the prospekt they've given that it'll be one of the songs on the album). Reign of Love/Lovers in Japan so light and beautifull especially LIJ. Life in Technicolor wow my favorite definitely. Chinese sleep chant: i just died when i listened to it because i am a asian that too indian.we asians always want to listen to stuff like that well.(its my sentiment well).just like every others has a likening for their own places in the world. Violet hill: its just my love and that video too.:love: Yes: so wow and that too Chris singing again <3 Lost: wow so beautifull piano playing and song too lyrically.

Also I don't like the combined songs in that you can't listen to them individually, or skip them. I agree. I think it's a great album but it's not a 'classic' like some people have been saying. I'm not being negative i love the album and I love all the experimental eliments to it I just wouldn't say it's my favourite Coldplay album. But saying that I've only had it 2 hours :laugh3: 42 is a stand out track for me most defo! I think I've listened to that track more times than any of the other tracks :D Death and All His Friends is another highlight aswell :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroyalty Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This album is intriguing. No filler, every track is interesting and yet none of them takes me high...Though the songs are really different, the album is surprisingly very homogeneous, very solid but I cant say it takes me to the places more simple old Coldplay songs take me to.

shunmander Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Chinese sleep chant has to be one of the most ambitious songs they have ever written.The fact that you cant hear the lyrics makes it even better.Probably the best track on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic85 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 After three listens in order of favorites: Strawberry Yes 42 Lost Violet Viva Cemeteries DAAHF Lovers Chinese LiT Reign The Escapist And I'll say this: It's an instantly more enjoyable listen then X&Y which was bogged down by a few songs of filler.
