twitchy517 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 So as a way to be positive and negative at the same time, what is your biggest disappointment, and biggest surprise from the album Disappointment: Hurts Like Heaven. It was absolutely my favorite of the live set, but lost something in the studio version. That's not to say it was bad, it just didn't live up to my expectations. Surprise: Princess of China. Rihanna scared me, but I think it turned out really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Disappointment - the complete destruction of Chris Martin's vocals on HLH Surprise - Princess of China isn't quite as bad as I feared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hux90 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Disappointment: I think MTM would've fit better than PoC, not that the latter is a bad song. Surprise: The second half of the album is absolutely epic :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R23 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Biggest surprise is definitely Princess Of China. I know not everyone likes this one but I really love the lyrics and the beat is also nice. As for Rihanna, she really surprised me. I also really enjoyed the studio versions of Mylo Xyloto, Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown and Us Against The World. And the end with Up With The Birds is absolutely epic. What a beautiful track. The second part, when the guitar kicks in, kinda reminded me of Paul McCartney's Band On The Run. I am really disappointed in Major Minus, especially placed directly after Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall. This one just doesn't seem to grow on me. And I'm still a bit disappointed with Paradise, but I do think it fits the album. Overall the album is better than I expected. I would give it a 8/10.

Tugatrix Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Biggest surprise: The second half of the album, it's absolutely brilliant, much more acoustic and have much more soul and feeling... Disappointment: Princess of China, just don't make sense on the album, is just out of place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Disappointment: How the album lacks cohesion SO MUCH!! And it's way overproduced. And Rhianna sucks so hard. I'm prepared to slaughter this album. Surprise: Us Against The World is better than the live version, really impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevedes Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Dissapointment: All those short songs... :\ Surprise: Definitely UATW Edit: I also forgot to mention PoC as a big surprise too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viki Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Dissapointment: The lack of THEM in PoC :/ Surprise: the "Fix You" buildups from that article are soCOLDPAY but yes, definitely overproduced I'm fine with Major Minus though, compared with other things it sounds pretty Coldplay to me I really do love the overall extra Guy and Johnny in most of it :DD I'll stick by my 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 why does chris sounds like a robot, even the instruments...i can't hear chris on hurts like heaven...the songs are great, but the interpretation is totally f** up...please god let friday be a good day with a different soundtune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor!42! Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Dissapointment: Lack of CP in POC, also, even though i like the song, like "tauiwi", it seems out of place... Surprise: There were so many for me......UATW, the mix of "classic" and "evolved" CP, DLIBYH being amazing, CB being awesome, HLH sounding great.....so many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor!42! Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Dissapointments:Almost all the tracks. Suprise: UWTB. Why is it that nearly every time i see a post of yours, it's always negative?? It's almost as if you did just come on here to hate. At least other people who dislike songs actually like the band in some way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephRengifo Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Surprises: M.M.I.X., U.F.O., A Hopeful Transmission, Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Up With The Birds. All new songs are amazing. The second half of the album is better than the first one though (except, off course, of Princess Of China). Dissapointments: The auto-tune in the voices and the over-production of a great part of the album. Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown... I was hoping something better from those incredible tunes. I read somewhere that Chris Martin wanted this to be a master-piece... Well, this is far from being a master-piece, but has great tunes anyway.
