October 17, 201114 yr i'm loving up with the birds (great fucking ending, brought a tear to my eye) and u.f.o. (wish there were more like u.f.o.) .... don't let it break your heart was a surprise! it's pretty good! charlie brown is gonna be huge, i'd be surprised if it's not. princess of china sticks out a little, not in a good way, kinda feels a little squished at the start, the last half is amazing though. all the interludes probably could've been mashed into their respective partner tracks, up in flames could've used a little more reverb on the drums. hurts like heaven has some great moments, not my favorite, but definitely a great track. us against the world is beautiful, lush sounding i was stunned. and of course every teardrop, major minus, and paradise.. they're pretty good too, they fit nicely in the tracklisting and i've always enjoyed every tear... so yeah, overall.. OVERALL: MX (unrated) Hurts Like Heaven 8.5/10 Paradise 7.5/10 Charlie Brown 10/10 Us Against the World 10/10 M.M.I.X. (unrated) Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 8/10 Major Minus 8/10 U.F.O. 9.5/10 Princess of China 7.5/10 Up In Flames 8/10 A Hopeful Transmission (unrated) Don't Let It Break Your Heart 10/10 Up With the Birds 10/10 compared to older albums (which i know i shouldn't do, but....) Parachutes 8/10 A Rush of Blood to the Head 9/10 X&Y 8/10 Viva 8.5/10 MX 8.75/10 so i liked it a little more than viva, but less than a rush of blood... through the over-production and little mistakes i found myself finding tons of moments were i was just in complete awe. glad they took a kinda pop/electronic leap, but definitely looking foward to maybe an acoustic ep? ..... hey.. i can wish, right?
October 17, 201114 yr Dont let it breake youre heart is awesome, first listen was like meh, but its a grower =D CB>DLIBYH>HLH
October 20, 201114 yr For NOW POC since that what i heard so far instead of the singles... in the studio version ;) havent heard CB yet and HLH studio version
October 20, 201114 yr sound do don't let it break your heart is very energetic, I love jonny's guitar, and will's drums, and guy, and chris, great song i like it The intro left me stuck
October 20, 201114 yr Charlie Brown or Us Against the World. But... Up With the Birds might make its way to the top by the time its all said and done.
October 20, 201114 yr For me I can't pick out one song. There are definitely a lot of songs which could be my favorite but it would be a shame to name just two of three of them. The star ist the album itself, the flow and the way how every song bleed into the next. Coldplay created such a intelligent album from beginning to end and this is what makes it so worthy - beside some beautiful songs.
October 20, 201114 yr a hopeful transmission DLBYH and UWTB (i listen to it as a whole ,i consider it a big and amazing song :d ) then its charlie brown, UATW,major minus,HLH and others

The star ist the album itself, the flow and the way how every song bleed into the next. Coldplay created such a intelligent album from beginning to end and this is what makes it so worthy - beside some beautiful songs. This. It's impossible to chose separate songs, because a part of what makes them amazing is the context they play in the album. That's why DLIBYH is probably my favourite new song - it's because of the role it plays.
October 20, 201114 yr At this point it's UATW. I can't stop listening to it. I am going to play it over and over until they switch the song they're previewing on itunes. But I am super happy about that song!
October 20, 201114 yr Nearly all of them are songs that would be stuck in my head all day long. I had PoC doing the rounds in my head the day it was on iTunes, so when I got home I had to listen to it full-blast to fix that. But the songs I'm loving from my first 2 listens of the album are Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Up With The Birds, but I loved Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown already. However, as has already been said, the whole album fits together as one which is something Coldplay have always been very good at. Up With The Birds really does make you want to go back to MX and start again :D
October 20, 201114 yr i'd have tod say Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown, they both are such an amazing songs
