Nah, it's way too Coldplayish to be compared to Radiohead.

 

To me the guitar isn't loud enough live. On the studio version it's Jonny who carries the song, live it's Chris. I like it better with MOAR GUITARRR.

 

And I do think it's pretty edgy and dark, but I seem the only one. Dark for a Coldplay song I mean. So, more like twilight. :rolleyes:

It's a paranoid song.

Right now I listen to Major Minus under earphones and listen to that bass and this vocal effect and I simply love it. Thanks for sharing this song with us, Coldplay!

Bump. Just wanted to say that I'm happy this one made it to the album.

Me too

Me too! Absolutely LOVE it!

It would was far better in the live version, but is my favorite out of the major minus, moving to mars, and every teardrop is a waterfall

I find the thread title amusing. My first thought upon hearing this song was that it sounded like it featured "The Edge" (U2).

 

Was the OP making a joke? I don't have time to read the thread...

How does it have a Radiohead sound to it? I basically find it more U2 ish than anything.

 

Agreed. U2 circa 85-89.

I'm reading 1984 by George Orwell and the song is making so much more sense now :nod:

 

 

Actually, I would recommend 1984 to anyone who hasn't read it before--I love it :D Thank God for AP English!

 

See now you get it :3 (I'm new but I'm so glad someone else figured out its not anti-illuminati entirely or other conspiracy nonsense.)
