Ravenor Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I expected many things from this song.. but not this ! pros : - experimental sounds - not as mainstream as I'd envisioned (which is really good : ) ) - Rihanna parts are quite enjoable cons : - ... lalalalalalala ( first paradise, now this ... plz coldplay let it be the last "such" song) - lacks energy or epicness .. lol Quite a good song :cool: .. but give us hurts like heaven already :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But superstars collabs usually lack some punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic spez Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 are you guys joking about the lack of epicness? This is a VERY epic tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewthecoolguy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think it's a really great song. My jaw dropped when Rihanna's line came in. Can't believe her singing. Really great. However, my assumptions were true: This will be the song that divides Coldplay's fan base in half. At least the fans who have been around since Parachutes.

UrbanBuckeye33 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If you don't think it is epic, you aren't playing it on headphones. If you play it loud, it increases its amazingness exponentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm not really feeling it, but I'm tired of despairing over Coldplay's "new direction," so I'm not going to be harsh or anything. But to me, it sounds to be in the same vein as "Paradise," which I'm not a big fan of--it sounds very Top 40 radio to me in the sense that I think it sounds a lot like the kind of stuff that's already out there. And whoever said it before I think was right: Rihanna feat. Chris Martin is the vibe I get, although I think she suits the song for what it is very well. All of this said about those two songs, I really love ETIAW, lest anyone think I'm just a huge Coldplay grumpus now. For whatever reason, I just don't click with "Paradise" and "Princess of China," and as long as the rest of the unheard parts of the album don't go the same way, that's fine, to have two duds for me. I think the thing I'm not a huge fan of is that I like the songs that have super catchy, sparkling central riffs, like ETIAW and CB of this era, and like "Clocks" and "Speed of Sound" etc from the past. "Paradise" and "Princess" are much more heavy-beat centric to my ear, in that the beat overshadows any of the riffs that exist, and that just doesn't appeal to me as much as something centered around a glittering central guitar or piano riff of some of their other songs. The riff in this song just doesn't do much for me, I guess, and I feel like the beat is the main point :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanBuckeye33 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Everyone is entitled to their opinion! haha. I only am confused as to why you think this doesn't have a catchy riff. The main riff is ridiculously catchy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getithom Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Coldplay RIP (1996-2010) Oh, so you've already listened to the entire album? Please, do tell. I mean, that's what you meant right? OR, you're judging 14 songs off of one song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main riff is ridiculously catchy... I guess I didn't mean that this song DOESN'T have a catchy riff at all, it's just not one that appeals to me as much as ones in other songs of theirs :smiley:. Also, I feel like no matter what the riff is in this song, the beat overshadows it a bit, in that the beat is more central than the riff. I edited my post a bit to reflect that. I'm horrible at describing the technical aspects of music, I really shouldn't ever bother :lol:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanBuckeye33 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Haha yeah, I see what you mean. They really are going for that "wall of sound" on this record, and in some cases the beat can drown other aspects out. I think in higher quality this will sound spectacular.

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Dutch radio is streaming one Coldplay song per day for the rest of the week. The schedule is on the calendar, which is sticky in the Mylo Xyloto forum, and evidently they'll also be streamed via iTunes as well, but that hasn't materialized yet.

ramonbucard Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 This is Coldplay. No more, POC is a trash who will reach the top, but will not be eternal like other songs from X&Y AND A Rush of Blood to the Head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-hwYjp7ZRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duke Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I liked it, it's different and still very catchy. I'd rank what i've heard (or heard a good enough live version of) so far as: Charlie Brown Hurts Like Heaven Every Teardrop is a Waterfall Us Against the World Princess of China Mylo Xyloto Paradise Major Minus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
