Where do the new songs rank against Coldplay's previous work?

For me, Charlie Brown is one of their best.

For me CB is also one of their best, it's already a classic along with Yellow,Clocks,In My Place and VLV, but most people forget Paradise, I think it's one of their best songs, and maybe even Chris thinks that... remember that he once said that he might have given his best song ever to Natalie Imbruglia? Then listen to ''Fun'' . And compare it to Paradise. It has similarities like the main violin riff and the piano.

For me, Mylo Xyloto/Hurts Like Heaven and Charlie Brown would definitely be included in a "best of Coldplay" mix. Undecided on any of the others at this early stage.

I think MX/Hurts Like Heaven, Charlie Brown, Us Against The World and Don't Let It Break Your Heart deserve to be considered among their best work :) this is such a good album as a whole but it has some really great individual songs also

Up With the Birds is without a doubt one of the most powerful pieces they've ever written.

I don't think any of the songs from the new album are as epic as Yellow, Clocks or Fix You but a few of them (especially Charlie Brown) will become classics in my opinion.
