Italian Plastic Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Swallowed In The Sea is fucking awful. ETIAW > SITS Their best would either be Death And All Of His Friends or Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplay_is_louve. Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Anything before this era I pretty much love. There was some stuff on Viva la Vida and Prospekt's March I wasn't nuts about but it still sounded good. It still sounded high quality. They're kind've going the opposite of that now. :bigcry: I enjoy "Hurts Like Heaven" and I love "Us Against the World". Other than those two, I'm pretty sure this album's going to be pretty damn bad. :sad:. I don't know what happened. When "Christmas Lights" came out I was the happiest girl in the whole world. I was giddy for this new album. 'Cause I was thinking "If this is the kind've new music they're making, the whole album is going to sound wonderful!" Apparently, they decided real drums aren't cool anymore and Lady Gaga-like lyrics are good and synthesized sound that drowns out any sort of singing or musical beat is the way to go. Holy fuck, are they wrong. I mean, there's "electric" and there's "laziness". Coldplay's become the latter. Anyhoo, there's a lot more I could say but I don't want to get in too crazy of a rant. I haven't listened to them in a really long time, to be honest. Mostly from sheer frustration and disappointment in this new sound. It's just, it's not fair. I don't think I've ever seen a band collapse as hard as they did and of course, it has to be my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 In reterospect Christmas Lights was the directon they should have taken. They came pretty close with Charlie Brown, but they're probably gonna ruin it in production. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Amsterdam ( :dazzled: ) vs Spies ( :dazzled: ) - I can never decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I legitimately liked Christmas Lights. Nothing amazing but felt more stripped down and focused than a lot of the overblown tracks on Viva. Unfortunately, they ran in the opposite direction after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I seriously think X&Y is then most underated album EVER MADE! It's fantastic, the flow is great, and every song is great. It's real space-rock which I love. I seriously must have litened to it all the way through well over 100 times. Just a fantastic album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Christmas Lights? It was lovely as a stand alone single but if Coldplay stuck to that sort of level they might as well not bother anymore. If they did go that way you'd still get the same people moaning about what they've done and saying it was totally wrong. There really is no pleasing some people any more which is absolutely fine because we all move on in our tastes and such. You can try and succeed and you can try and fail. But at least you've tried. I think they've tried on this and I think they'll succeed. Bar ETIAW I have really enjoyed all the other songs I've heard from this era. Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown in particular are just two songs that are blissful to listen to. They are fantastic pop tunes that are honest and even fun. For me at the very least it keeps things refreshing but at the same time keeping features which are still so obviously Coldplay. As the BBC put it it's a change in dynamics rather than the dynamics of change. It's encouraging seeing the Beeb and the likes praising the album and it has certainly raised my hopes for the record.

harrisonrules Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 many reviews have touted charlie brown as one of the best things coldplay has done. there's no really big change from the album version to the live version. that alone will make fans happy. charlie brown is going to be epic!

Caroline Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Swallowed In the Sea :dazzled: That song is perfection. I wish they would play it! They only play one song from X&Y, the least they could do is add that and Square One to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakedee010v2 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I won't make judgement until I have heard it all. I like all what I heard so far, but, who knows. They could mess it up in the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admnistramation Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'd like it a lot more if my family would fuck off and let me listen to it. Not even thirty seconds in and my mom comes home and jumps my case about everything I didn't do today and now I have to help my little brother with his spelling. It needs more bass IMO.

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Princess of China is pretty bad.... It sounds weird. And it doesn't make much sense to me the Rihanna collaboration. Baffled, head scratching and all. And yeah - it needs more bass. But boy if you didn't like ETIAW you will NOT like this. I can see why people will like it but I can see why people will despise it! It will send people into a fit of absolute anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It's alright for a song I was dreading. That said my itunes just shuffled it's way to Don't Panic after it finished. Wow the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
