Chris and Rihanna sound awesome together, I'm really impressed. I didn't like the song when I first heard it, but now I've grown to like it.. Not bad at all!

As a Rihanna song, yes. As a Coldplay song, not so sure.

It's just a backing track, though. Who cares if it's auto tune?

 

And the vocal distortion...well I don't know what the fuck is with that. I kind of dig it though. It would be interesting if they released a version (or a demo or something) without it.

 

I think you need to edit this post.

 

It's not a backing track... and it ruins the whole fucking song.

tbh, rihanna sounded fine on it.

 

I thought Coldplay's music was generally 'spacey'. Like when you listen to it, you can feel comfortable and it doesn't make you feel all noisy in your head. I don't really know how to explain it.

 

Princess of China went against this thought I had of Coldplay.

I just listened to it.

 

Yeah, I really, really did not like it. Rihanna's part was WAY too prominent. Might as well have said it was Rihanna feat. Chris Martin.

 

The synth sounds were like 80's fuzzy synths.....and not in a good 80's synth way. It's the first song that I actually couldn't make it through. I do not have any desire to listen to this song again.

 

I'm very sad. ETIAW and Paradise have grown on me, but I just don't even want to hear this tripe again.

 

EDIT: It blows my mind that they made MTM.........and this. They really ran the gamut, didn't they?

I like the song but I don't like Rihanna's voice :(

 

I agree with you

great sound i like rihanna's voice

One again, Coldplay does not use autotune. Please do not make statements unless you are informed.

 

Yes they do, on the new record it is only obvious

it's not bad ;)

I don't like it. It doesn't sound like a "Coldplay Song". Something is unusual, I don't know..

I had mega-low expectations of this. I'm pleasantly surprised it's turned out so well. I'm not sure what's with all the RiRi hate. She's a strong singer, who has a good following and can do more than one style of music. People seem to have a rather hipster attitude about things.

 

I will say that I dislike all the extras production I've heard on many of the songs so far. Major Minus is a great song, except for the artificial sound of Chris and instruments. I feel like it goes with the theme of graffiti so it may not last.

 

Overall, I'm expecting to be pretty pleased with the album as a whole. It's no Rush of Blood to the Head but that's ok. I find musical adaptation rather interesting.

It's more like Rihanna feat. Chris Martin. Can't find any Coldplay in it.

I don't like it at all.

btw the part with stole my star is just retarded

When i first heard it yesterday night, the only thing that passed through my mind was "Coldplay, are u kiddin' me?". The worst song in the history of Coldplay, no doubt!

When I first heard it, I thought it was alright.

But now that I've heard it in context with the entire album...it doesn't seem right. :S

It's my least favourite song on the album. :/

we know you hate,seen it in nearly all threads in here...

my vote goes to

"yes i like it" :)

No, I don't like it at all. It just seems... weird. Not Coldplay-like at all. And it's not even Rihannas fault (even though I can't stand her), I don't think I would've liked the song even if she wasn't in it. Very dissapointed.

So basically; almost EVERYONE who likes it is a 'fake' fan. Of course we love Coldplay but hey don't let it BRAINWASH us, we decide if we like a song or not.

 

I hate PoC, period.

One word:

 

SHIT.

I LIKE PoC ♥

I love it! Those synths are amazing and the beat is cool too. It's my favourite studio version until now (I haven't heard the full leak, only Princess and the released tracks)

 

PS: Rihanna doesn't add too much to the song, Chris could have done it

I really like it now :uhoh: For me it's more of a Rihanna song and I think it's a good one, she sounds great and adds a lot to the song

I really like Princess of China - the build-up, Chris' and Rihanna's voices - alone and combined - the sound of it.

Didn't Chris say that he was thinking of Rihanna when writing Princess of China? So it is kind of a Rihanna song, and I guess that is why Rihanna has been allowed to sort of "dominate" that song.
