Hartroc Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I would argue that What If is BY FAR the worst single Coldplay has ever released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 What If and The Hardest Part are definitely some of their weaker singles, but they were singles released later in the game--not LEAD singles (as this is, technically, since ETIAW was more of a pre-album-announcement teaser). They were definitely trying to do something different by releasing Paradise instead of Charlie Brown, probably reach the Top 40 radio crew who've always hated more classic Coldplay before, but...if they're going to turn off a lot of already existing fans, especially a lot of the older ones, I wonder if their gains are as big as their losses, or potential losses.

MajorM Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I'm not really a fan of ETIAW...And I'm not really decided on Paradise...but I voted for Paradise on the poll. Actually I'm not exactly a fan of either of them, but Paradise is...I don't know. I just like it a little better. Both of them have too many repeats as their main flaw. But I adore the strings in Paradise, so it gets a point for that, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 ETIAW is ahead for me, though Paradise is growing on me little by little each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutgos Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 ETIAW but Paradise is growing on me. I like everything about Paradise except the typical beats...don't all songs today use that exact sound/beat? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryptophan Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 It's like saying which is their least worst (not counting PoC). So I chose ETIAW. Never thought I would, until September. ETIAW is a steady state dislike and Paradise is still shrinking on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I usually can't judge one CP song against another, but in this case Paradise wins it for me. Neither are bad songs, but I dislike the fact that ETIAW has such a reliance on a backing track whereas Paradise makes use of all the band's instrumental capabilities. If Chris had a piano part in ETIAW then I would like it a whole lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
