christopher Martin Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 ^ Well said, it's not like the first singles have ever been the best on the album either. Violet Hill, Speed of Sound, In My Place etc.. All good but not the best, this one is better than all those in my opinion. JUST RELAX GUYS!

jenshack24 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 its one song off the album. everyone needs to calm the eff down. i didn't really like VLV (altho Violet Hill is one of my favs and WAS released early too lol)...but the album ITSELF was pretty good...there are instances where the initial single isn't amazing, but the album is good. DON'T PANIC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleluvscp Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I agree, he ruined them. They wouldn't have made such a drastic change if he hadn't been telling them to forget everything they know and to do things in a completely different way. This single was the confirmation I needed.

matts05 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 the band is always praised when something is good, and the producer is always blamed when something is bad... don't blame it on eno. he didn't write the lyrics, he didn't compose the notes, nor did he have the final decision in saying "okay, good work lets release this song to the public". sure he may have influenced the song, but in the end etiaw is coldplay's song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eno wrote the song with them this time around, not only produced. (Apart from the credits gone to the authors of "I Go to RIo", of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Brian Eno isn't an evil dictator, I'm sure the band had their own input to the song. It is their song after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locust7 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Ok. So, Martin/Buckland/Berryman/Champion(/Eno/Dravs/Simpson/Green), what have you done? Did you try doing your masterpiece with this? Really? I hope this is a summer joke.. just hope, that's everything about it,l gentlemen You could've gone electronica (a la Wild Beasts or Postal Service) but not like this... Of all the paths you should've gone, going Guetta is the worst idea ever... Please don't try to lose fanbase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont lose the hope,i think that this is a summer single,made to replay it in the radio a million times.Is easy to listen,repetitive and catchy,ideal to mix in the disco and it has a summer sound.Is for promotion,dont worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 mmm I don't think it will be so far from this new song, it must follow a common line. so Yep, i think i can say goodbye.. but ok, I'll wait :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laga Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 We still don't know if ETIAW will be on the album...they have not comfirmed it :shrug: maybe it's just a song for the festivals. I'm still looking forwards to LP5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turn up the bass it sounds AMAZING btw, when the bass drum kicks in, epic. yeah i agree...it's been growing on me all day :D also i don't see why everyone's so negative..this is 1 song out of probably 10 on the new album so surely if people don't like this then it's not the end of the world? :inquisitive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technicolor Liver Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 June 1, 2011 - submitted by Matt, United Kingdom Q. The longer I wait for the new album, the more I fear that it will be a hugely over produced mass of electronica... Please tell me I am wrong. The Oracle replies: You're wrong.

woohoo37 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 42 is a perfect example of the overproducing. The first part is amazing and is up there with the likes of Trouble........then it just goes into utter shite and don't get me started on those "ghost" lyrics!

Raaj Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 You know after the abysmal lyrics and the abysmal cover art I can’t say i didn’t see this train-wreck coming but hell this was even worse than i expected. Brian Eno signed off on this….smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 it's very sad to read so many fans who are not happy with #ETIAW. In my opinion, they have their right, since the song is way too mainstream and cheesy using a very known sample. Hopefully, they will learn the lesson and won't do it never again.
