September 12, 201114 yr Please dont buy Mylo Xyloto. It would be a shame for Coldplay when people like you here will own it... As I said. I don´t care if someone doesn´t like that song. But comparing them to pop musicians and say its crap is just stupid. Viva La Vida is not better at all. The whole album will have many songs we will love that will not be played at radio one time...
September 12, 201114 yr Man they're playing a song with Rhianna on the record...my hopes have dropped.
September 12, 201114 yr Okay I like ETIAW better. This is just NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Dear Coldplay, please get back in the studio, write better lyrics make better music, I don't mind waiting for another year! Just do something like you did before.
September 12, 201114 yr Guys you are incredible... This song is still Coldplay and even THIS is more complex than Backstreet Boys. Just for naming these two in one sentence should be a reason for a lifetime ban here. You don´t like it? Okay. But seriously, its good. A single is for the mainstream for buying this album. And the mainstream will like it. Viva La Vida ist even more simple than Paradise and in my opinion Paradise is better. AS ALWAYS the Coldplay fans will be listen more to those songs AROUND the singles, like Charlie Brown, Hurts Like Heaven. Now stop that crap... its not even funny anymore. You don´t like it? Well, no problem. But stop being childish... ^ +10000 I see some kids here. If you say Coldplay now sounds like a pop band, just stop hear it. If you like more BSB than Coldplay, just listen it. If you wanna say all the day that Coldplay now is a shit because they sound pop, say it, it wouldn't make you a better person and it wouldn't change the new Coldplay style. Criticism is ok. But being childish is a shame to be a Coldplay fan. If you aren't a tolerant person, go away and read some books about objective and subjetive way to think. My opinion: This is NOT pop. You have to analyze the structure of the song and the influences that contains. It's the same alternative mode that they use, plus some of the sound influences of VLV, and the hip-hop mode from this new style about graffiti, street, etc. I like so much this song, the final is amazing. Maybe the Jonny performance would be before in the song, but it's fine. And again, if you prefer BSB pop than Coldplay alternative mode, go away and listen it. Stop being anoying here.
September 12, 201114 yr Actually, I think Viva la Vida is fantastic :heart: Me, too. But Paradise is at least the same level :)
September 12, 201114 yr Seriously GTskilled, you don't need to get so defensive about Coldplay and start saying things like 'Please dont buy Mylo Xyloto. It would be a shame for Coldplay when people like you here will own it...' You saying that we should stop being childish is so hypocrit. to be honest, when I heard the intro of Paradise, the first thing that came into mind was ... WTF IS THIS FUCKING BACKSTREET BOYS? And just like Lore I used to be a BSB fan years and years ago. It's not bashing Coldplay, it is just a honest opinion like everyone is entitled to have one. That you think it's good, doesn't mean that all others in the world think the same about it. I admit that this song just needs to grow on me, but I don't believe it will and I feel dissappointed by it, because the snippet sounded somewhat promising to me and I think Coldplay has made far better songs than this one. And yeah, I think Paradise sounds like a BSB song.
September 12, 201114 yr Decent song, but clearly not single material. Too much effort to make it sound big and important, ruins the song. Get rid of Chris Martin. This has him written all over it. If Coldplay were to crash and burn after this album (metaphorically), I wish Will Guy and Jonny would do a Beady Eye type thing and return to the amazing songs :)
September 12, 201114 yr this is not the same band i fell in love with. and yeah, people will say, "oh, they evolved, they're changing their sound, blah blah blah". they haven't evolved. they're regressing. from "amsterdam" to this, whatever the hell it is. i can't. i just. agh. i want to feel music in my bones when i listen to it. or something. i don't want this superficialish bullshit from a band that i generally expect thoughtful music from. Agreed. And it's not like they must always come up with a song that will make you cry or put you in a wistful, melancholy mood but Paradise is a kind of song unable to elicit any other emotion but scorn. I'm like :blank: now. All I remember after listening to it for few times is the para-para-paradise bit. From the albums where you could find only a couple of songs that you don't really like they turned to making one where you can barely find the ones that you can listen to (UATW, hopefully another one we haven't heard yet but that's high expectations) without wanting to say to the band : "What were you thinking on that one?!"
September 12, 201114 yr I never want to imagine Chris Martin's pasty penis doing anything. I don't even want to imagine it existing. wibble wobble wibble wobble
September 12, 201114 yr Why does this feel like a terrible dream? I go from "don't make a big deal yet, we've still got an entire album to listen to," to "WHAT...IS...THIS" in less than a few hours. Ugh.
September 12, 201114 yr you can stay under my umbrella ella ella ella eh eh :blank: :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:
September 12, 201114 yr Me, too. But Paradise is at least the same level :) VLV is better than this song in my opinion so no, it's not "at least" the same level. BTW, how can you say it's "at least the same level" when you just said... [Viva La Vida is not better at all. :huh:
September 12, 201114 yr Viva la Vida is a masterpiece compared to this, I'm sorry. I actually want to listen to ETIAW right now. Paradise is that bad.
September 12, 201114 yr Agreed. And it's not like they must always come up with a song that will make you cry or put you in a wistful, melancholy mood but Paradise is a kind of song unable to elicit any other emotion but scorn. I'm like :blank: now. All I remember after listening to it for few times is the para-para-paradise bit. From the albums where you could find only a couple of songs that you don't really like they turned to making one where you can barely find the ones that you can listen to (UATW, hopefully another one we haven't heard yet but that's high expectations) without wanting to say to the band : "What were you thinking on that one?!" Totally agree :nod: The only use I see in this song is to keep you awake when you're driving at night because it's loud and annoying and doesn't distract you with any meaningful lyrics. This is a sad day :sad:
September 12, 201114 yr Listened to it 4 times now. It's a decent song but come on, if you compare this to all of the songs on parachutes & arobtth....
September 12, 201114 yr Has anyone mentioned the similarity of that bridge melody with that Natalie Imbruglia song he co-wrote, Fun?
September 12, 201114 yr VLV is better than this song in my opinion so no, it's not "at least" the same level. BTW, how can you say it's "at least the same level" when you just said... [ :huh: Ehm why not? I said its "at least" ( maybe at least doesn´t mean what I thought it would mean :D I wanted to say that Paradise is as good or even better than VLV ). Viva La Vida ist pure mainstreamness... its a good song, yes. But I don´t think Paradise is really worse... But I can just say it again: Wait for songs like MX, Up in Flames, Dlibyh, etc... those will be the good songs, I mean the really good ones. It´s always the same. But I am also a bit worried at the moment, because this Rihanna thing is making me sad :( I didn´t want to listen to Up In Flames and other songs first, but now I really have to when they play them live... I need to see if MX really is the masterpiece Coldplay wanted to create. I still think it will be.
September 12, 201114 yr Author sorry but you fangirls have the rest of the subforum to be annoyingly blind so stop complaining because some people doesn't like the song and we're talking about it. Guys you are incredible... This song is still Coldplay and even THIS is more complex than Backstreet Boys. Just for naming these two in one sentence should be a reason for a lifetime ban here. You don´t like it? Okay. But seriously, its good. A single is for the mainstream for buying this album. And the mainstream will like it.

AS ALWAYS the Coldplay fans will be listen more to those songs AROUND the singles, like Charlie Brown, Hurts Like Heaven. Now stop that crap... its not even funny anymore. You don´t like it? Well, no problem. But stop being childish... OPINIONS. A single for the mainstream? doesn't mean it has to be crap. I think the childlish people is the one acting like OMG PLEASE STOP TAlKING BAD ABOUT COLPDLAY THEYRE PERFECT :heart: OMG ^ +10000 I see some kids here. If you say Coldplay now sounds like a pop band, just stop hear it. If you like more BSB than Coldplay, just listen it. If you wanna say all the day that Coldplay now is a shit because they sound pop, say it, it wouldn't make you a better person and it wouldn't change the new Coldplay style. Criticism is ok.

Maybe the Jonny performance would be before in the song, but it's fine. And again, if you prefer BSB pop than Coldplay alternative mode, go away and listen it. Stop being anoying here. This is not pop? lol. Go and listen to more music. What is this then? rock? best joke ever. We care about coldplay and that's what we post our opinions if they release bad stuff. Amazing? lol but hey, that's what you think, I don't care about that. Seriously GTskilled, you don't need to get so defensive about Coldplay and start saying things like 'Please dont buy Mylo Xyloto. It would be a shame for Coldplay when people like you here will own it...' You saying that we should stop being childish is so hypocrit. to be honest, when I heard the intro of Paradise, the first thing that came into mind was ... WTF IS THIS FUCKING BACKSTREET BOYS?

And yeah, I think Paradise sounds like a BSB song. :) Yeah I don't even mean their popular hits, I mean these slow songs that no one remembers because it weren't that good, just like Paradise. Why does this feel like a terrible dream? I go from "don't make a big deal yet, we've still got an entire album to listen to," to "WHAT...IS...THIS" in less than a few hours. Ugh. 2 bad singles in a row, that's all. No one cares if there's great songs in the album if they're showing to the world all the bad songs they make. But I can just say it again: Wait for songs like MX, Up in Flames, Dlibyh, etc... those will be the good songs, I mean the really good ones. It´s always the same. But I am also a bit worried at the moment, because this Rihanna thing is making me sad :( I didn´t want to listen to Up In Flames and other songs first, but now I really have to when they play them live... I need to see if MX really is the masterpiece Coldplay wanted to create. I still think it will be. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE SONGS YOU MENTIONED? you can't say "oh wait for songs we haven't heard." from what I know Paradise could have been a masterpiece but it was shit.
September 12, 201114 yr I think you guys are feeding off each other's hate for the song... Sure, it's not spectacular, but if you don't pay too much attention to it it's actually not bad. I think it will flow well with the rest of the album. Hopefully it will be kind of lost between HLH and CB, two excellent songs.
