Galaxy6013 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Worst song on the album as far as I'm concerned. The only part that is "ok" is the short 20 seconds Jonny has his guitar playing. The electronic drum beat is annoying, and the lyrics are too repetitive for my liking. I had a non coldplay fan listen to the album with me, and even he pointed out that this song was the worst one on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Good in its simplicity, but the drum beat gets annoying. The lyrics aren't bad, but the chorus gets on my nerves. But it is not the worst song on the album (by far), and Jonny's riff at the end is great (even though it's too short, IMHO) so I'm giving it a 6.

LightsWillGuidex Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 This is one of my favorite songs on the album. It is quite repetitive, but there's something about it I really love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 8. One of the weaker songs on the album. The piano should have been more elaborate... BUT, as I was listening to MX for the first time, I thought there should be more bass, and then PoC and UiF came along. And then the heartbeats in DLIBYH... :awesome: (Well, artificial bass, but still - boom, tah, boom boom, tah. :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Man Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Up in flames hit me like Fix You . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnel16 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I gave it a 6. Not because it's a bad song neccessarily but I find it so simple that in comparison to Coldplay's other amazing songs it almost sounds boring. It's probably my least favourite from MX. I don't understand why the band have been playing it live so much recently.... over DLIBYH?? Just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Up in flames hit me like Fix You . Really? I actually like it very much now. The hard bass kinda sounds like fire (flames). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#42vera.inês Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I gave it a 7. I didn't really liked it when I first listened to this song :\ Now I like it more, specially the live version and Jonny's riffs in the end :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I can't listen to it... its too sad.. if you've gone through something that you know needs to be over... this song hits you in the head and says Hey its over, get over it... you don't want it to be over ,,,so you say can we put some water on? (to stop it from going up in flames) I always have to skip this song and go to the next one.. can't listen to it... of course its a nice song,,,but not for me..:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randorolian Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It's alright, but I think it's too boring. I personally think Moving To Mars would've made a better 11th track. 5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Don't like it. One of the weakest songs on the album and I always have the urge to skip it. Should put Moving to Mars instead of this in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carefulwhereyoustand Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think Up in Flames is actually one of the best on the album. It's a clever use of the electric drums. But I definetly think MTM should've been on the album instead of MMIX and A Hopeful Transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyloge Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 One of the best song in MX. I imagine this song on the romantic scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0wxo2 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I still absolutely love this song.... I have noticed at shows though that a lot of people don't like it, think it's too slow, and end up sitting down. Still one of my favorites from the album.

the scientist is dead Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 i think it's a piece of art... specially the last line: can we pour some water on? and the beautiful piano at the end...the music sort of just fades away in a nice way...

tom043 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I like it but the chorus is what i really dont like about it, the repetitive up in fleeeehhhmmmsss . Could have bee better because i like the 'theme' / message the song is trying to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karmen Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think it's one of the best in the album. I can spend hours listening to Chris with the only company of the piano. I just close my eyes and get lost in his voice. But again, I'm a Rush of Blood to the Head freak so... I love the intimate songs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
