Strawberry Swinger Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 ...who finds this song nothing special? I risk to be buried alive here I know,but I've heard it 100 times and still it seems mediocre to me. It is however far more original than Paradise and ETIAW to me, but I just... I don't know, I find it not good enough. It's just not a song that stays in my mind,it's not very authentic to me. Not trying to make people hate the song (i don't hate it either) but I just wanna see if someone shares my thoughts, before the Rihanna version appears and then some go against it...? EDIT: wow,I just see how many times I've said "to me" but I strongly wanna point out that is my opinion and not facts of course :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Love Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Its okay and we have to accept your opinion. Its your taste, so no problem to post it here. Princess of China for me is another song which will polarize the community. I predict lots of "oh my god this is so overproduced and not Coldplay" comments and on the other side lots of "oh god this is soo good!" comments. When you don't like the song, its ok but hopefully the studio version will be mind-blowing for you and you change your opinion about this song (which I really love). ;) PS: Personally I think this song is another one which is so different but a bit more melody based than Paradise. For sure I see some similarities in these songs but I definitely am more excited to hear PoC. Its a song which shows the in my honest opinion great developement of Coldplay. But thats just my taste.

Strawberry Swinger Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 yeah I too hope that I will like the studio version more, despite it having R... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Yeah, it's nothing special to me either. But, I can't judge because the only versions I've heard have been distorted with bad sound. I couldn't distinguish any melodies really. I'll just wait and see when the album comes out.

joecortazzo Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I agree. I don't like the song to begin with, and to put rhianna on it, is like punishment for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 You aren't alone. I've honestly only listened to it about five times, and while I can see the potential, it just seems average. Maybe the studio recording will sound better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Im not fond of the crappy live version but I'm giving it the benefice of the doubt until I hear the real thing. You must really hate ETIAW and Paradise if you think that the bootlegged, hurt your ears, cat screaming version of POC that has nothing special for you is still better than those songs :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42rock89 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Not for me, stands out as something very different and special (in a good kind of way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorEye Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I think that Princess Of China wouldn't be that much of a highlight from Mylo. Personally, I think the song will be great, knowing that Rhianna will be on there. She is my favorite featuring artist. She is crap as a solo artist, though. Like Ludacris.

Skin&Bones Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'm ridiculously excited about it. I'm less ridiculously excited with Rihanna and all... but I'm still ridiculously excited. The crap-quality live version is still amazing. The bass drops, the synthesizers, the chord changes -- it's all beautifully structured to me (unlike Paradise, which I think of as Princess of China's annoying, half-retarded, less adept sibling).

rainplay Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I agree..I only listened to it like twice, and I found it a tad dull..But I;m sure the studio version will be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the Song but cant share the feeling that it's so very Special. It's way better than Major Minus - which is in my Opinion the "worst" Song.

Schröder Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Major Minus is one of the few actual rock songs by Coldplay. :thinking: Hence it cannot be the worst. Go for The World Turned Upside Down instead :sneaky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for The World Turned Upside Down instead :sneaky: In my Opinion. The Song is ok but wouldnt listen to it a few times. It's just their weakest Song of the Era til now in my View.

Coldplay3277 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 kinda bland to be honest the lyrics arent that good at all either and the "llalalalalalal's" really annoy me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie O Sullivan Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The better quality live-versions sounds quite promising to me ! But i will judge when i heard the studio version although i think even now that it is one of the three best songs on Mylo Xyloto...my opinion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matan Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Actually I can not tell you my opinion of the song that's not what I understood how it sounds I can not find good enough quality that probably we'll have to wait for the studio version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
