This may seem insignificant to some, but I need to know if there are other people out there who are as excited as I am at hearing studio noises in this album. The pedal changes in "Violet Hill" and the little yelps from Chris in "42" and the shifting in "Strawberry Swing". It adds so much for something that many people don't even acknowledge. Perhaps is the fact that X&Y had none and that's why I'm so stupidly giddy at finding them in this album.

 

Anyone else feel the same?

Is this a new song, Strawberry Hill?:laugh3:

HAHAHA. Whoops!

One of my favorite songs is Proof, because you can hear Chris's foot on the pedals, his squeaky piano bench and even a bit of finger noise on the keys. Hearing those sounds makes a recording more 'human', and even though I haven't really noticed them on the new album yet, I likely will, because I listen for that sort of thing. It just reminds you there's a real person playing the instruments and makes a song so much better, imo.:)

I know, I love it. It's so great. I was listening to "42" for the bazillionth time and I heard Chris make some sort of noise that was definitely him yelping at Jonny or Will or someone. It made me smile a little too much. It just reminded me of "We Never Change" where someone says 'Yeah'. And the pedal shiftings in "Violet Hill" add so much to the beauty of that ending. Just like they do in "Politik".

i agree 100%.

 

The beauty of human reality in these moments baffles me. I think it's awesome that they didn't clean out these little Gems of reality in the music.

 

im not making any sense but thats ok. I feel you.

i LOVE studio noises! i'll have to go back and listen very carefully for the ones you're talking about in 42, but i love the opening to strawberry swing especially, when chris says something that sounds like "it sounds very flat." for some reason, studio noises have always made me disproportionately happy from any band. it's definitely the humanness, and it makes me feel like i'm right there with them :nice:

I love studio noises as well, gives us a tiny peek of how they record the songs... the one i love the most is the one in the beginning of I Ran Away when he says "one, two, three... will" and the drumming starts :)

^ thats classic

when i hear 42 i hear chris' yelp and i look around cause i think someones calling me(since i have the volume at full blast) :D

I think its Guy in Strawberry Swing because of the Scottish accent.

that happened to me too!!!! :lol: well... actually happened to me twice. those noises just make it better (if thats possible)

no, the strawberry swing is located on violet hill via the cemetery of london. you can't get lost, but watch out cos death and all his friends hangs out there at night... :stunned:..:laugh3:

studio noises rock. i love them so much

yeah theyre pretty great, it just makes it seem more personal, like the band isnt hiding everything from you. its the desired imperfectness that makes albums perfect. x & y seemed so manufactured, and by that i mean there was nothing like this. i think its a little bit of eno touch that it was so obvious, especially in strawberry swing

Haha, same :D

where exactly do u hear the pedal changes on violet hill? i can't hear them ://

I have heard some of the studio noises but I think I'll be listening to the album more closely in future!!!

Studio noises are part of the reason I love the outro of Warning Sign.

Also, apart from the obvious in Strawberry Swing, you can hear Chris say something seconds before he starts singing. Almost sounds like "f*ck" but that doesn't seem quite right...:stunned:

"giggle" One, Two..... at the start of Till Kingdom Comes:)

That's why I love 'The Goldrush' :D

I can't hear Chris' yelp in 42 :disappointed:

Well, I probably can but i just don't realise it :laugh3:

Anyone know when abouts in the song it is :rolleyes:?

 

EDIT: on no wait, I can hear them :lol:
