NumbersGirl Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I like it but I think R42 hyped it a little too much. I want to hear the studio version because it was kind of hard to tell what the guitar part at the end is "supposed" to sound like, it just kind of got muffled together.

Famous Old Painter Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 3. It's got to be my least favourite MX song so far. Perhaps the studio version will be an improvement but listening to that song at the moment is like fingernails down a blackboard. I can't stand it.

Abracadabra Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 7 from me. What I find repellent in this song is the repetition of 'Up in Flames', Chris's falsetto is not successful this time but rather makes me cringe and there's a bit of that boring feeling to it. The studio version is likely to get a higher rate, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humma Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 What's with all the repeating? It sounds nice but a bit boring. Sure the full album version will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The chorus is too much like Paradise's. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplay3277 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 solid 5...Boring & Repetitive just like the new songs LOL i dont have high hopes for this album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Kat Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The beats sound like the milking machine at the farm :blank: But I'll give it a 5 because it would be unfair for me to vote it less than Paradise or ETIAW, it's ok but nothing special to me.

akindofmagic Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 4 Because it's too flat and repetitive :( I agree with you. The melody in the first part sounds a bit like the last words of "A Message" ("and i love you, please come home"). The chorus melody is pretty uninspired.

foxeh Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 It's so annoying how everyone wants "MX" to be like "Parachutes". Guys... "Parachutes" is over just like "AROBTTH" and "X&X" if you like "Parachutes" more than "MX" listen to the old Album now it's 2011 MX Era get over it...God damn.

johnnymax865 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 the most emotional of the new songs so far... for me it may be the 4th single after ETIAW, paradise and CB! beautiful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look around the forum, nobody is saying they want Parachutes II. All they're saying is that they don't like the new direction the band are taking. Stop putting words in people's mouths. Viva certainly wasn't Parachutes II but almost everybody loved it anyway. Evolution is fine, regression is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It did not get me I must admit...I think it´s a bit boring, but I thought Fix You was boring too when I first heard it, so I´ll give it a chance once I hear the studio version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, people like you are convincing yourselves that everyone wants MX to be like Parachutes so you can use it as an excuse to refute people's disliking of new songs. Get over yourself, that's not the reason why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution is fine, regression is not. A few people in the forum come across as saying they want stuff like Parachutes: simple, acoustic and/or organic instrumentation, etc, so I guess that´s what the original poster meant.

Li_cold Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Rating is so cruel... :P I don't thing I'm able to give it a number, but I can say I really like how it sounds, mainly because of the piano part. Like some people said, it's simply and beautiful, but, at the same time, I think something is missing on the lyrics. The repetition of "up in flames" kinda takes space of something that could be more elaborate, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmotor Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Coldplay - Up in Flames (live) by foxz0rd on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free[/url] The Song is absolutly Simple.. a few words.. only decent Instruments with Chris beautiful Voice. Perfect? The "up in flames" part also gets me. All in one...i adore this simply Song. I give it a good 8. did anyone know you can download the song via this soundcloud player. (just sayin) But yeah i give it a 7 for now,i want to here the actual studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxeh Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sorry i should have said "it feels like as if everyone wants MX to be like Parachutes". I dont mind Opinions about that they might dont like it, my Problem is.. that a few Prople say stuff like "Coldplay did the worst they could do i hate/dont like ETIAW, Paradise and Up in Flames" even though "Up in Flames" sounds alot like Parachutes they dont like it because it's "boring..."? I could ask them, if they like the Song "Parachutes", if they would say "yes" i really wouldn't get it. And some just keep saying in all the Billion Thread against MX how bad it is. Why dont they listen to the old Albums only then? Coldplay try to change their Style just that's how it Works.. i think even if they wouldnt EMI would of forced them to do it. Coldplay tries their best to satisfy their Fans they cant hit everyone's taste. Just thank Coldplay that they still do Music. did anyone know you can download the song via this soundcloud player. (just sayin) But yeah i give it a 7 for now,i want to here the actual studio version. For the Prople who dont know. Yes, you can download it just click on the Arrow.

QuestionsOfScience Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I like this one quite a bit. The piano's lovely and likewise with the guitar, drums are rhythmic and lush and the bass...well I'm guessing it'll be nice and smooth. Can't really make out the lyrics, but the "up in flames" bit does get slightly repetitive and I'm getting that vibe with everything from this album so far, although that's not a major put-down, repetition can be good! It does get slightly boring, but once the guitar comes in at the end, it's excellent. The intro really gets me, it's just brilliant. Contrary to a lot of people, I don't think it sounds like anything from Parachutes, if anything A Rush Of Blood, it's a little darker and closer (y'know). I gave it a nice 8, it could be better, I think the studio version will be absolutely fab, but the guitar could be more prominent with more in it.

Choldplayer Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 To be honest I don't think it sounds finished. It sounds like half a song. Not bad but doesn't reach any great heights 6/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yeah I dislike the slight unfinished feel to the song, but maybe that's on purpose in context of the album. If something has gone up in flames, then it disappears before you want it to right? I like the drums, and the vocal-guitar interaction at the end although the sound is not good quality on the recordings. The chorus is repetitive, yes, but I think both studio and future performances will at least have Chris singing on the mark better. I just wish the guitar was more prominent, especially in the choruses. I feel like Jonny could definitely do something like the live versions of Fix You where he does that echoey da-na-na in the choruses. This song reminds me a lot of Proof, actually. And I LOVE the ending. I listened to it just now and it was just chilling the way the guitar and piano do that little fade-out thing. It's kind of like the end of Trouble actually. All that said, I gave it a 10 because Coldplay songs without synth are far and few now, and I feel like once everything sinks in, this could be one of the most haunting songs of the album.

Alien Radio Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Why does everyone hate: "Up in flaaaaames, up in flaaaaames, up in flaaaaames." But no one hates: "Youuuuuu areeeee, youuuuuu areeeee, youuuuuu areeeee." ? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
