Parachutes will just always have a special place in my heart :p

 

It's always hard for me to pick favorite Coldplay albums because they're just different. I love all the songs in VLVODAAHF. ... but then again I love all the songs of every one of their albums!

GAH! I cant choose which I love most at the moment... Maybe its cuz all of them have different sentimental value... Each song's a different journey for me.

 

But VLVoDaAHF is brilliant, amazing, fantastic. Totally shocked me by how different it is.

Parachutes is flawless. Don't forget that.

song vs song comparison (PS: Like in VLVODAAHF Reing of love is not hidden I'll add it as track 6 so both albums have 11 songs)

Dunno know about the album version Lost!. I think I like the accoustic Lost? so much better...

 

Are you kidding? That beat is SO COOL. It's like being in a stadium with sports fans stomping or something.

 

I'm in the club, Semy. Best two albums eva.

clocks vs lovers in japan

for me this is tide also.

Yeah it is a hard choice but I'm still with clocks

Haha, if you want! I might have to think up a slogan for this :P

 

I don't think I'll do any siggy changing tonight though, its been a looong day.

your sigs are always cool...

Sheeeooot. I dont hate Lost! now. Theres alot of noise in it. Good noise but it detracts a little from the lyrics for me.

 

In My Place vs Cemetaries.... Thats TOUGH....

 

TOO TOUGH.

I'm more of a parachutes / viva la vida army :P

 

viva la parachutes!

YAY this might be the best thread of this forums.

Count me in.

Politik > Life In Technicolor

In My Place > Cemeteries Of London

GPASUYF < Lost!

The Scientist = 42

Clocks > Lovers In Japan

Daylight > Reign Of Love

Green Eyes < Yes/CSC

Warning Sign = Viva la Vida

A Whisper < Violet Hill

AROBTTH = Strawberry Swing

Amsterdam = DAAHF/The Escapist

 

But because these songs contrast so much when they're compared in order, if I could make a mixed album it would look something like this...

 

(LIT synth intro)

Politik

In My Place

Lost!

The Scientist/42

Clocks

Lovers In Japan/Daylight/Reign Of Love

Yes/Green Eyes

Viva la Vida

Warning Sign

Strawberry Swing

AROBTTH

Amsterdam/DAAHF/The Escapist

Interesting,.

 

aRbtth agains Viva la Vida, hmmnn. At the mo honestly id choose Viva la Vida! Parachutes never really worked for me as an album. Dunno why but maybe bec i wasnt around when it was out! Have bought it later on!

 

But still im not 100% sure if any of the new songs will beat Clocks!

^ That mixed album would sound cool :D

 

Here's how I think the 2 albums compare:

 

Politik = Life In Technicolor

In My Place = Cemeteries Of London

GPASUYF < Lost!

The Scientist = 42

Clocks > Lovers In Japan

Daylight > Reign Of Love

Green Eyes < Yes/CSC

Warning Sign = Viva la Vida

A Whisper < Violet Hill

AROBTTH < Strawberry Swing

Amsterdam </= DAAHF/The Escapist

for me=

Politik > life in technicolor

In my place = cemeterie of london

GPASUYF < Lost!

the scientist = 42

Clocks=Lovers in Japan

Daylight = reign of love (i dont like both)

Green eyes<yes/csc

warning sign <viva la vida

a whisper < Violet hill

AROBTTH < Strawberry swing

Amsterdam = DAAHF/The escapist

 

RESULTS: AROBTTH =1

VLV =5

warning sign tied with viva la vida semy? I disagree with you, captain.

I think we could change our signatures :P (yeah I took the idea from the bunch of pervs around here)

and it seems that nobody here likes god put a smile upon your face :cry: it's the strongest song of the album

Reporting for duty... Even though this is more difficult then reviewing any album. Comparisons are harsh I went ahead and listened to each.

 

Politik < Life In Technicolor

In My Place = Cemeteries Of London

GPASUYF > Lost!

The Scientist > 42

Clocks = Lovers In Japan (Impossible! Only VLV and maybe SS beats Clocks 4me)

Daylight > Reign Of Love (this was easy and daylight the 2nd weekest on AROBTHH)

Green Eyes < Yes/CSC (By far, green eyes is aweful IMO)

Warning Sign < Viva la Vida (I hate these 2 paired up. I love warning sign)

A Whisper < Violet Hill

AROBTTH < Strawberry Swing

Amsterdam < DAAHF/The Escapist (Another Tough Choice)

 

AROBTHH + VLVODAAHF = us! > sliced bread... :D

Viva la X&Y :P

I couldnt really compare RBTTH straightly song to song with VLV...

 

Mission impossible for me cos the albums are so different....

 

I think that overall this album has got so many new dimension in it to compare with any other earlier Coldplay. yeah sure you can hear it s CP but its surely got some new spice in the sound....And thats even if compared with X&Y.

^ That mixed album would sound cool :D

 

Amsterdam </= DAAHF/The Escapist

Ha exactly, mixed is so much better than comparing/contrasting the albums. They're practically a half a decade apart as far as age so why not combine the two different generations of the band to make an UBER ALBUM? :wink3:

 

And I like what you did with Amsterdam and DAAHF/Escapist, that's exactly what my brain was trying to type! I love Amsterdam, but there's just something about DAAHF. Its like Coldplay went back to Amsterdam, stole the song structure with the piano intro and the big finale, and took it one step further. The two songs are even in the same key! (Eb :P)

Thanks :D

 

I'm hoping maybe someone includes a comparison of those two songs in a professional review. And hopefully its someone who knows Coldplay's previous material fairly well.

 

I think that by making the finale similar to AROBTTH its a nice little treat for those of us who want the band to keep (at least) a little bit of their sound that brought them to where they are. It sure does put a smile on my face whenever I hear that last minute or so of DAAHF... :nice:

Hey guys.. can someone tell me where I can find the transparent PNG of VLV? I can't find it!

make it a VLVODAAHF/AROBTTH/X&Y army and I'll join.

I'm afraid that won't be happening too soon :P
