I love it! WAAAAAAYYYY better than ETIAW.

 

I've listened to it 3 times already! The only thing I dislike is the whole "para-para-paradise" bit. Too corny.

 

I love the beginning and the instrumental bridge in the middle (not the Johnny's solo).

I'mma punch Chris for including a line about 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall'. And repeating the 'para' as he did with 'wa-wa-waterfall'. Does he have a hidden stammer or something? It's actually gimicky and annoying.

 

If it wasn't for these two bugbears it would be a lot higher. For now I'm going to give it a 7 because I actually like it and it's not an offence to my ears unlike ETIAW.

 

ETA: I'm probably rating it higher than I would normally as it is so much of an improvement over ETIAW that I feel happier than I would if this was the first track I'd heard off Mylo Xyloto

I didn't like ETIAW at once, but it has grown on me throughout the summer, and I love it.

 

Paradise is just huge. The band has changed quite a bit musically since the Parachutes days, and so has my taste. This was what I wanted. This is paradise :)

Absolutely loved the studio version. I didn't vote 10 cause I never do but I voted 9. THOSE STRINGS! And the way bass & drums appear through the song, the vocals, the electric vibe... Amazing to me. So sorry there are people who don't like it, I hope it will grow.

 

But I really hate the comments that said there was 'no work' or something like that. You might not like the song, but this is almost disrespectful.

Okay, I've listened to it four times so far. I find the melody quite intense, I really like the piano, it always sticks out as a particularity of Coldplay to me. No need to say that the Para-para thing is annoying. The lyrics is maybe a bit poor (?) - ETIAW quote included. Anyway, I gave it 7 for now - there's always a bit of excitement in the first vote, so... we'll see.

Listened to it twice. Second time, I mentally replaced all the Para Para bits with one long Paradise. It was much better :)

Honestly, a little too much on the pop side. The song also doesn't flow as much as usual in a Coldplay song, it seem to be in bits and pieces.

All in all though, decent song.

Kinda worried that they think this is single material when they have CB and HLH, but oh well.

Also, I like how Will has more and more backing vocals. Hopefully he gets a solo part somewhere on the album :)
