F1-77 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Well now that it's out, let's discuss it! I think it's awesome, the double tracked vocals and spacey and distorted guitars are awesome! I'd give it a 9/10, on only one listen! What does everyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikie Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 one of their best album openers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin Z Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Not feeling it right away, think it'll take a few listens :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odvan Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It's ok, but live is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jye91 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It sounds a lot different to the live version. I think I prefer the live version, although it'll grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjef Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 LOVE IT, that raw guitar riff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Absolutely love the live versions but this seems way too overproduced. Hopefully it'll grow and I'll get used to it but not really liking the opening to this album too much so far :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor!42! Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Love it!!!!! i absolutely love the studio effects! Chris' voice is so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristalain Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 REALLY but REALLY overproduced. With a simpler production it would have been 10/10, seriously, but I think there are so much noises and zero space to breath in it... Shame. :( (Is it me or the drums sound way too much?)

Major_Love Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Beautiful! Perfect! Of course we can't compare live and studio versions. Such rock songs works always better with a crowd and on a big stage...nothing new. Still a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nails Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I love the effects, I never thought I'd say that some months ago. But I love this song, they couldn't ruin it if they tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R23 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I absolutely love HLH album version. After the epic MX opening (which is even better than live) it really kicks the album in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeincoldplaycolor Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 btw MX made me lose myself its such a beautiful song brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobabe Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 blown away. that's all i've listened to so far off the album. i didn't expect it to be mixed so weird and awesome. eno really did a good job. he's making coldplay sound edgier yet without sacrificing feeling.

TwistedPolitik Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It sounds too clean but other than that, love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingtoseehere Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It does sound too clean. I prefer the raw sound the live versions had. The robot Chris voice will probably take some getting used to, but this song is still one of the best off the album, in my opinion! ETA: MX sounds soooo good.

the_gloaming09 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 They ruined the studio version of that song w/ those stupid auto-tune/synth vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyloto Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I like it, and it will probably grow on me more, but it just doesn't "sit" right with me yet. I think it lacks some of the urgency and punch of the live version. I quite like how it seems to build towards a climax, but the first half is just slightly "hollow" for me at the moment.

DukeNewcomb Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Definitely too many effects in it. If it was as stripped and raw as the live versions, as a single it'd have gone Number 1 without too much effort, but as it is I don't think it would fare too well.

The Duke Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Had they just left the vocals alone it would have been great, I don't like what they did with those all that much, still a great song though. I love what they did with MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
