you have to have a myspace account to go on to it

I think it would AMAZING if on Lost!, they started with the acoustic version all nice and sweet and soft, then gradually went into the version on the album:)

I have been listening to that Album the whole day, works just fine for me. I can't stop. :D

I just put the whole album on my ipod and ran out in the rain blaring it! I swear, honestly, I felt I was running faster and harder while listening to it! It makes everything with color seem brighter! I don't know, it has this magical quality to it!!!

amazing album!!!!!!! :D i recorded it as one huge song...so i listen to the whole album every time and nto picking out certain songs :D

no I don't think I will :blank:

I have listened the the album 3 or 4 times and now I decided not to listen to it until it is out. The two songs that have stuck in my head are Cemetries of London and Lovers in Japan.

ironically, what I have stuck in my head is "those who are dead, are not dead, there just living in my head"

I can only read positv things in this forum... Am I the only one, who is dissapointed about the new album? What's wrong with me? Well, ok the have tryed to make a new style, this is creditably but.. I miss songs like "Fix you", "The Scientist" and so on.. I mean this kind of music of arobtth...

I just finished listening to the album and while it will take a while to fully sink in, here is my take on the album. By the way, it is a truly wonderful album. Powerful and beautiful yet not as immediately accessible as anything they've released before. This is a very mature album from the best band in the world today.

 

 

Life in Technicolor- Most are familiar with this song. A tad bit too short but great all the same. Instrumental track that goes into...

 

Cemetaries of London- This is a great, great, song. Interesting beats. Dark tones and mood. Great Buckland guitar. Atmospheric, delightful head candy. One of my favorite coldplay tracks ever and my most favorite off the new album so far.

 

Lost!- Another familiar song. This version is more funked out with a thick beat. I do like the addition of the guitar and heavy organ though the acoustic version, in the end, was the better version. Great song still.

 

42-What an opening. Gorgeous and reminiscent of old-school Coldplay. The breakdown at 1:35 is wonderful. This is a song that has it all. Guitar and piano. It is ballady and rockin' and lush and glorious.

 

Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love- Better than the acoustic version I must say. Eno production is sparkling here. Faster beat, beautiful vocals, piano, the whole deal. Reign of Love was a soft delicate ballad but I was not blown away. It was good but not great.

 

Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant- Great opening strings. I think this song will grow on me. It is almost bluegrass sounding. I do love Martin's lower register on this track though.

Chinese Sleep Chant I liked more. Great guitar riff which martins vocals glide over. Gauzy, great reverb, great sound.

 

Viva La Vida- great song, we are all aware.

 

Villet Hill- ditto

 

Strawberry Swing- A real sweet treat this one is. Very different. Almost sounds like a country song meets Fleetwood Mac meets Coldplay's majesty. Great chord changes here. Definitely one of the standout songs for me. Chills the whole time. Wow.

 

Death and All His Friends/The Escapist- Beautiful ballad and I love the guitars towards the end. A worthy closing piece though Amsterdam will always be the king of Coldplay album closers. Still this track is gorgeous and the Escapist revisits the wonderful theme of Life in Technicolor while adding the vocals that would have been nice as opener. Granted, this is still a great track.

 

All in all this album is very solid and a definite 9/10. Coldplay have progressed and did not go back to the same bag of tricks for this album. Not all fans will be pleased and again, this is an album that demands repeated plays to truly understand its greatness. This album comfortably stands in the ranks of Parachutes and Rush of Blood. I am glad that Coldplay sound as good as ever. We really are lucky to have such inspiring and beautiful music to get us through the long lazy Summer.

now i've got "you thought you might be a ghost, you didn't get to heaven but you made it close" stuck in my head! I think 42 might be the song I'll have embedded in my brain the most from this album

:laugh3: me too 42 is my favourite off the record :D I had jonny's guitar riff going through my head today aswell. The bit that comes around the same time as "you thought you might be a ghost..." Such a great song :D
