Now that you've heard the album, rank the songs

[Amsterdam33]

After 10 or so listens of the album I think i've got a pretty concrete ranking all out of 10 stars:

 

1. Mylo Xyloto/Hurts Like Heaven- 10 (Wasn't sure what to make of all of the effects at first but I absolutely love it now)

2. Up With the Birds- 10

3. Charlie Brown- 10

4. Us Against the World- 10

5. A Hopeful Transmission/Don't Let it Break Your Heart- 10

6. Paradise- 10

7. U.F.O.- 9 (should have been a minute or so longer but this is a truly simple yet great song)

8. Up In Flames- 9 (Great song but it does annoy me that the chorus is very repetitive)

9. M.M.I.X./Every Tear Drop is a Waterfall- 8.5

10. Major Minus- 8.5

11. Princess of China- 8 (I wish it had another chorus line towards the end but otherwise a great collaborative vocal part on this song)

1.HLH- Great Song, one of Coldplays best

2.CB- Another great song again one of their best.

3. MM- Yet another great song but production is messed up, better live and raw.

4. UWTB- Brill

5. DLIBYH-Good but lacking something.

6. UIF- Sounds half finished, needed more work.

7. UFO- Nice song but more b-side material, really worthy of an album?

8. UATW- Good song but doesnt really go anywhere.

9. ETIAW- Catchy but not great.

10. Paradise- Dobt mind it but again not great.

11. POC- Oh dear.

 

All in all a strange album some really great tunes like HLH and CB but some really bad ones like Paradise and POC. It all sounds a bit too polished, sickly sweet, radio friendly and over produced.

Album review:

 

Album is not that nice then i thought, i think the expectations were to high.

The first songs we heard for the album they played it in june in rock am ring, thats 5 songs, they started to early showing the new songs. Why: I likED the songs so much that i played them so much that its broken now:(

 

Also there are to many accoustic songs, i dont like slow/acoustic songs.

 

What involves most : I played the songs broken like HLH, CB, ITIAW, PARADISE, MM.

Time between first album song release/Showing m live = to long.

 

Sorry Coldplay:(

1. Princess of China.

2. CB

3. MX/HLH

4. Paradise

5. AHT/DLIBYH

6. MM

7. MMIX/ETIAW

8. UATW

9. UWTB
