Blockflote Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I love that roughness! I don't hate it, but I think it doesn't fit with the theme about "the princess". i love this song' date=' but why "China", i dont hear anything sound like China in this song :\[/quote'] In the part of the synths, there are some type of chinese arpeggio with some type of chinese instrument.. Also the guitar riff is influenced by chinese sounds.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R23 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 The instrumentation is really nice. Sexy beat, fresh synth, all it's missing is the bass. What he said! I really like this song because of this beat and it's mysterious sound. It's different compared with the rest of the album. And Rihanna sings most of the song? She sings the second verse and the chorus. After that it's all Chris and Rihanna together, so I don't see a problem. I also do think Rihanna did an excellent job.

para-para-parrotdies Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I hate how people are so negative about this album seriously........ Why do you hate the fact that people don't like the album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiame Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Why do you hate the fact that people don't like the album? Probably because she feels the hate is either unwarranted, overblown or irrelevant. If it's either one of those three, then I agree. Or maybe she's just sick of hearing a bunch of negative, smug hipster pseudo-intellectuals beat a dead horse to death about how this music isn't "real" or is too "mainstream". To be honest, that's what most of the haters are like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Martin, however, I think it's just one bad song on an album full of gems. But, I agree with your paragraph describing the "haters." I share this same view.

The Final Track Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 That's a pretty harsh and unfair generalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-para-parrotdies Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 That's a pretty harsh and unfair generalization. Admittedly, there are some people who do have generic comments like the new album is bad because it's "mainstream" (whatever that means :rolleyes:) but I feel for the most part, the "haters" have been detailing the reasons why they dislike the album - at least the people on the World of Music forum have been.

ivet Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 ...that's because we're being unbiased towards this album. We're not just gonna love it because OMG EVERYTHING COLDPLAY MAKES IS GR8!!!!!!1!!1! I, myself, like it... But I understand where the hate is coming from. And you just gotta deal with the fact that this album is not that amazing and sucks the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imke Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm honestly sick of being called a hipster and a hater. If I were a hipster, I wouldn't listen to Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryptophan Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm honestly sick of being called a hipster and a hater. I know right? People who spread their hate about the album and diss the people who do like it, piss the "likers" off, and as a result the opinion of a "disliker", even of those who are constructive like me, isn't taken seriously and becomes irrelevant.

EdPlay Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I like the LA LA LA LALALA LALA part and the OHHHH OHHHHHHHHH OHHHH, it was very creative. But the best part is the final second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimas4 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I was very pleased with the song. I may have been one of the few that actually liked Rihanna's involvement since the announcement. It is by far the most experimental song Coldplay has done from a sound perspective, but I thought the sound gave it a good kind of edginess. The lyrics were fantastic and reminds me of AROBTTH writing. I really liked the clear and crisp voice of Rihanna coupled with Chris's own edgy voice. If there is one complaint I have with the song, it would be simply not enough duet between the two singers. I really really liked their duet and there simply needed to be more. Rihanna definately does the lions share of the singing but overall it was a very enjoyable song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I liked it more than I thought I would. Little disappointed Chris didn't get as much singing in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekchic Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I was expecting it to be much worse! I still don't really like Rihanna on the track, but it's not too bad. It'll probably fit in the context of the whole album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ennosuke Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I like the song. But maybe it is too much Rihanna and too much ohhhhh ohhhhhh. Really good is the part with this typical asian sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viz94 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Somehow, I like this song very much. Possibly my favorite song of MX. Sure, it's more Rihanna- than Coldplay-like, but as I already symphazised with Rihanna's songs before, I never had any doubt that this song would be something great and special.

42JTR Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I like the song, it's a nice one. I always get happy when I hear it, the same with ETIAW. But it's not one of their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Room Safety Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yes, awesome song. My second favorite off the new album after Us Against The World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haruka Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I actually like it, their voices combined completely but it should be released as an EP, separated from MX. PS: Chris rapping slyte in the first verse = AWESOME :laugh4::clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladypro615 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Better worded: It's more like Rihanna and the Coldplays featuring Chris Martin. :laugh3: I love the sound of "The Coldplays" Yes, awesome song. My second favorite off the new album after Us Against The World. I think we got the same ears :P :awesome: This song LIVE is gonna be AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance: I agree!

Destrokk Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It doesn´t sound as bad as I thought. She held her froggy voice, but It just sounds so wrong and all I could think of is how they started changing and this is their breaking point where it doesn´t even sound familiar...

MichMoch Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's more like: the best Rihanna song, and one of the worst CP songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
