anitarita Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Love Charlie Brown. The first and best track. Really miss the acoustic Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 No. I find it's quite overrated to be honest. :laugh3: But there are many Coldplay songs out there (including their B-sides) that are better than CB in my opinion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitarita Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Charlie Brown...the best Coldplay is like a very fine Bordeaux. In your face @ first, then let it open up. It is full bodied, layered, smells and tastes Old World. Us against the world, Charlie Brown. It is so rich is sound, I almost rejected it @ first. I certainly hope they will not outsound themselves. Brian Eno is fantastic, seems he's taken over the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tams Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I'm not sure about being all time best but definitely the best from MX. I totally loved Moving to Mars and expected the song to be included in the album, but it never happened :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauCH Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I love CB, it's my second favourite off the album after UATW... but it will never beat Clocks and Politik to me. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderXyl42 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Is it really possible to pick a song to be Coldplay's best? I mean really, how can you choose. You start to think one song is their best, then you hear a new one and it's like 'holy crap, this is awesome!! new best song!' not to mention everybody has different tastes; some people prefer their slower, more acoustic work (sparks, us against the world etc.) whereas others prefer the faster and more complicated (Viva la vida, ETIAW etc.) if everybody had their way, there would be at least 15 best coldplay songs ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monibitencourt Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Not even close... It's beautiful, but it's not that epic for me... The Scientist, In My Place, Shiver and Moses are one of the best so far, in my opinion... actually I can't choose the best Coldplay song ever, because they are all master pieces... VIVA COLDPLAY!!!!! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisin Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Not their best song ever (for me, that's Yellow) but it's a damn good song, one of their top 5 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christa42 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Happy Birthday to Charles Schulz, the creator of Charlie Brown and the Peanut's Characters. He would have been 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The only thing that slightly disappoints me about the studio version is the fact the backing vocals get very little exposure. For example the 'ALL THE HIGHS, ALL THE LOWS' part really should have been brought forward a lot more. You can hear it much more clearly on this user made instrumental at around 2.30. Pretty sure Brian Eno's one of the voices here. I think Eno's magnificent on this record. The little bleep bloop electronic gizmos that sit behind a lot of the songs are wonderful. I wish for a record to be produced by just Eno next time round. Don't think they need Dravs, Simpson or Green.

Mrk Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 ^yeah, those alien voice played backwards at the beggining and the middle of the song is one of Eno's genius ideas. And yes, I can tell that he's singing some backing vocals in this song :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I can tell that he's singing some backing vocals in this song :wacko: I feel his work is desperately under appreciated amongst many fans of the band. Even though MX is probably my least favourite album I feel his influence does somewhat save it from being a complete flop on my part. I wish he had harvested the 'seeds he had sewn' as Will Champion puts it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisin Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 When i first read the title of this post i thought it was just a knee-jerk reaction to a really good song but now that the dust has settled, i really do think that Charlie Brown is the perfect Coldplay song. It has everything a Coldplay song should have: it's catchy as hell, it looks and sounds amazing live, Chris' voice is perfect in it, the lyrics are some of their best and that ending suits it wonderfully... i think it just might be their best song ever :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitamin Z Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Didn't think so at first, but now I think it's certainly a contender. It's basically classic Coldplay, but incorporating everything they've learnt over the past few albums. And I think it definitely is THE best song live. The only disappointment with it is I think the studio version could have been much better. Without comparing it to the live versions, it's great - but Johnny's guitar sounds lifeless and dull on the studio recording, and Chris' vocals (especially the 'Light a fire' bit) don't convey the epicness. In comparison to the live versions anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupermassiveCPnerd Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 A true Coldplay fan could never name "the best CP song ever". A true CP fan could NEVER choose an absolute fav or "the very best". Only someone who isn't a true fan would or could ever even think about implying that at least 97% of ALL things Coldplay has EVER done is anything BUT the BEST!!!!!
