Space Cadet Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What the hooey happened to Will? :huh: :stunned: His work on the new album is sooo good and so radically different from anything he's done before. It's almost as if he's been replaced by a clone. A clone with mad skills. He's always been the perfect guy for the band, always adding and never taking away imho. But all of a sudden he didn't take it up a level, he took it up about 20 all at once. Cemeteries, Lost, 42, Strawberry Swing, and others all have these incredible rhythms. And even the simple rhythms have little technical pauses and flourishes that were never there before. For me, it's really the defining thing that gives the album it's character. I LOVE it. :D :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPB Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Will got hand transplants. See last episode of Futurama for further info and you'll know what I mean:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotplay007 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I totally agree with that. Will is a monster now! He has gone mad at the drums and everything else he plays... it's really really really starting to show in the music. Goodness, he needs to calm down.... rest a little bit.

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 i agree, will TOTALLY amped up everything on this album! and to think he wasn't originally a drummer when he started out with coldplay...my god. if all of their future albums are like this one and IMPROVE on this one percussion-wise, i see will being in one of those "rolling stone's list of the 50 best drummers of all time" in the future :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually listening to hear something different rather than a steady rock drum beat and he's gone way beyond with this. It's nice to hear variation in rhythm at least from a band many people would consider mainstream. Favorites from Will on this album are: Cemeteries 42 Strawberry Swing But we all know every song is stellar. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasoKnight Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If anybody watched the Jimmy Kimmel skit, you'd see that the real Will has been missing for awhile. They just picked him up, and it's clear on this album that he's back. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitepanda Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Dude. Will has always been and will always be the man. He's a beast. He was totally the center of the show on the MTV Movie Awards for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazydrummer5 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I love what Chris said in what i think might've been the Q interview? Not sure. But anyways he said that Will was the most important part when recording the album because if he's not into it, the song doesn't work. He's got to be into it for anything to move foward. Anyways i can definitely tell that Will's into these songs ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Cadet Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 He's always been amazing! :cool:Oh, he has for sure. But it's not often you get to see an artist completely transform their style, and I think he deserves mega kudos for everything this time around. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombadil Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 He's a beast. He was totally the center of the show on the MTV Movie Awards for me. Yeah. He was very manly working those drums there.

Open-Politik Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Best thing about the album as a whole is Wills drumming. Not Johnnys guitar or Guys bass, Chris melodies/voice. No, its FCUKINg Will Champion, Champion of this album!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felicote Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 ^ yeah, Will Champion should ditch The Other Three and go solo. Or rename the band The Will Champion Experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
