Rihanna - Mylo Xyloto - YouTube[/ame] ------------------------------------ If you haven't already heard the leak: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89311 The Pros: 1. It's VERY experimental! This is a good thing because it's a chance for the band to explore new sounds. 2. The instruments sound amazing! It has an epic chorus with buildups which will have the fans drooling! 3. It is guaranteed to be a hit! Which means well for the band. The Cons: 1. Too much Rihanna! It seems as if Chris Martin only sings one verse. 2. Jonny is barely on the song! I understand if your exploring new sounds but don't leave out a band member! Even though I hate some parts, I think its a great song! what are YOUR thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admnistramation Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Pros: -Rihanna is mmm mmm good on there. -DAT SYNTH -Chris' voice isn't cracking and falling flat everywhere like I feared -Lyrically better than ETIAW and Paradise Cons: -Chris isn't as prominent, but that's not a terrible thing -There is little to no bass -Brian Eno does not condone the use of bass -Oh god how horrifying Guy you are still my favorite and idgaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasoKnight Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Not sure what everyone's talking about w/r/t the bassline. There's a ton of bass in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Big Con: Way too overproduced. I have my fears again for the rest of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafaelchampion Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I just think Chris should sing "YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE PRINCESS I'D BE YOUR KING", cause in the end it's a male speech not a female. Just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viva la justin Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 PRO: Sounds absolutely boss on my iPod even in the low quality leaked form :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 That's my biggest problem with it. I love love loved the Chris only version. Rihanna's voice works well with Chris's though. I just wish it wasn't so overproduced :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonnyIanni Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 I never said Rihanna was bad in the song. She is a terrific singer and does an amazing performance for the song. I just happen to think that she is more prominent in the song than Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_escapist Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Rihanna's voice is one of the best ones of the music industry right now. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellendianelopo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 So my husband says I am over reacting... I won't say I hate it but the part of too much Rihana and less Jonny bugs me. And Top hit fits more to if it was a Rihana song with Colplay not the other way round as it is :s Ok, I think that for now TO ME it has more cons...

Kiame Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Actually for me Rihanna is a PRO in this song Agree. Her voice sounds beautiful. :nod: Helps the song quite a lot. I can see why the boys went with her. Rihanna is a pro at this kind of music - there is no one better in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienbob Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 This song can't be a single. It's too weird, imo. It's really good, but it's just like, for most people, it'll be like: "WTF IS THIS?" in a mystified kind of way. It's a very strange little song.

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I don't think it's overproduced. It's overblown but deliberately so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasoKnight Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's not like there's some level of production at which point a song becomes "over-produced." The amount of production needs to be appropriate to the type of song. This song is shimmery and loud, but it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
