MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I listened to the studio version for the first time after kind of hating it, and I've discovered...it sounds...just right. Fancy that. Anyone else revisiting this song and enjoying it? Still hating the vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Osaka Sun Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I still wish it sounded more like the live version. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I've never really been 'against' the vocals. I disliked them a bit at first, but now I find that they seem to fit--plus Major Minus is just an awesome song. :wacky: Osaka Sun, I have to say that I agree with your signature 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanif94 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I really prefer the studio version than the live version, but I would have loved if the ending had those echoed guitar notes of the live version. :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I love the voice effects in the studio version, but it would have so much better with the live instrumental. Like, SOOO much better. Rawer and richer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the yellow of ur life Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 They have other songs for lyrical depth, this isnt one of them and i dont care, its an awesome song love everything about it, live and studio versions. Major Minus will never be with there elite songs (yellow, clocks, scientists, in my place, speed of sound, fix you, viva la vida, lost!) but this song is just...so...electric, high energy, love the guitar.

lotrobsessed101 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I listened to the studio version for the first time after kind of hating it, and I've discovered...it sounds...just right. Fancy that. Anyone else revisiting this song and enjoying it? Still hating the vocals? I found myself feeling the exact same way after a couple months and many listens. The vocals don't bother me at all anymore. They seem to fit right into the song for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobW Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I absolutely loved the live version when I first heard it. Then the studio version came and I didn't like it at all, but now I listen most of the time the studio version. You get used to it and I like it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Love Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Its interesting that most of the new songs are grower. There are lots of people who complain about it at the beginning but later they have to say that the songs grew in them. That shows how different the tune of Coldplay is now. It was the same for me with Paradise. Firstly I hated the song, now I just can't resist to push the play button again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isrlns Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I really like the vocal effects after analyzing the lyrics. The song has a paranoia/conspiracy feel, and the vocals sound as if Chris was singing it trough a phone to warn you about "them" going after you. I think it fits really well. And also, if you look at the tracklist, it's after ETIAW, it's like ruining a happy part of a movie with a sudden script twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I get it how it fits in with the album and somewhat get it, but as a stand alone song I still don't like it all that much. Charlie Brown MX/Hurts Like Heaven Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Us Against the World Moving to Mars Paradise Major Minus Princess of China is still a wildcard. I've only heard a half decent quality version and it seemed unfinished. Odds are those Lalalala parts were Rihanna's parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonsu Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It's a pretty rubbish song by Coldplay standards imvho, be it studio, live or whatever. It's just a poor song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I actually like the vocal effects for this... really makes his voice an instrument during chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebeo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The first time I heard MM, I hated it. I thought it was horrible, like ETIAW and Paradise. But now I actually likes it. If different, but I likes the music, and Chris' voice just fits in perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I really like the song (the guitar solo :D), it's one of those amazing rockier moments on theire discography, like Politik and Violet Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
