The 'Thank you Brian Eno for ruining a potentially brilliant album' Thread

Featured Replies

Thank you for editing Chris Martin's vocals to the extreme as if he's some random man off the street who can't sing. We all love Chris' voice.. seriously why would anyone with common sense think it needs 5 different pitched dubs over the top as well as some autotune :(

 

Thank you for killing the drums in every track. The bass sounds are good but it outdoes the drums on almost every track.

 

Quieter tracks like Us Against The World and Up in Flames need hardly any production on yet again Martin's vocals drown in stupid effects.

 

Thanks Brian :(

You're crazy, the album is excellent.

SO TRUE!

first of all,please stop calling people crazy and non-fans if they don't like this album...second of all, I believe that Chris is the one who can say NO , I don't want effects on my voice, thank you. So, all in all, blame it on the band too ...

This album is perfect ... only thing i would have changed is a Major minus version more like the original !

first of all,please stop calling people crazy and non-fans if they don't like this album...second

 

THIS

You do know Eno isn't a producer on this. *** Also Strawberry Swinger - where are those yelling 'you no fan' in this page?

Chris sounds like the robot of Bassie&Adriaan lol

exactly. I sometimes think that Chris is too nice. He needs to stand up and say that they are here cause they deserved it. I sometimes think he doesn't realise how good they are as a band...

So true. I like the album but it could have been excellent.... not just good - and it's for Brian Eno.

 

It was unnecessary, but like.. REALLY unnecessary!!

The Brian Eno haters piss me off so much. He is a genius and Coldplay are lucky to be able to work with him.

LOLFUL!

I find this thread slightly pointless and I havent even listened to it yet. The threads should be created for constructive reasons and not destructive reasons. We aren't gonna achieve anything by slagging off Brian Eno. No matter how bad you thhink the new album is, he still provided us with the masterpiece that is VLVODAAHF!

Well to be fair most of it's light hearted criticism. I'm a bit disappointed with the album and the way it's produced but it's their album if they and other people like it then that's all that matters really. I'm sure they won't get offended by me.

 

Just in my opinion I can almost hear brilliance but it's overdone and is frustrating.

how can you even say that? you don't even fucking know him

 

 

 

jeez, relax, it's not like I am talking about his sexual performance... he always is too humble in interviews and stuff.. EVERYBODY knows THAT.

LOLFUL!

not this one, but others about MX... too many new threads, they kinda blend and I am sure we all read all of them ... :p

To start with.. don't blame Brian Eno for this, better to blame the engineer who worked on the process after Brian Eno put his hands on it.

Brian Eno ofcourse probably had some ideas for background instruments.. however it's now only WHAT you add but also HOW you add it!

No he is not the one who can say no.. ofcourse he has some things to bring on but not the last word on it.

They can jump around if they want to stop the overproduction.. but it's not on them to decide how it will end up in the stores.

:laugh3::laugh3:

Look at my other quotes.

jeez, relax, it's not like I am talking about his sexual performance... he always is too humble in interviews and stuff.. EVERYBODY knows THAT.

And what EVERYBODY does NOT know, is that they are not allowed to say everything in interviews.

To start with.. don't blame Brian Eno for this, better to blame the engineer who worked on the process after Brian Eno put his hands on it.

 

It doesn't work like that, and Brian Eno was in the studio with the engineer when the album has been mixed.

I like the album, but damn... I don't know, I was expecting something better :blank:

 

EDIT: Brian Eno is weird.

Brian Eno is a great producer, I have a lot of respect for him. But Mylo Xyloto is far from being a good production, though the album have a lot o great tunes.

The reason people are disappointed is nothing to do with Eno, it's because we've all become so accustomed to almost every song from the album. Playing stuff like HLH or CB live so often months ago meant there wasn't much to be surprised about when the album came out.
