MancakesTheBand Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I thought, if people still felt to express their views on the album that we could do it this way. When you post, post one thing that you like about the album, and one thing you don't like about the album. I thought this could be a fair way to do this. Also, explain yourself, don't just put UWTB is amazing, or Paradise is shit. Bad thing: Vocals. Some places its great, some places they seem incomplete. The vocals for Charlie Brown seem to have something off about them. Also, in HLH, the way Chris says, "It's true, when you" towards the end of the song, it doesn't seem right. Good things: the Little things. Jonny's guitar riff right after Chris says "from my shipwreck I heard a call" on DLIBYH. The hint of "The Dubliners" at the second part of UWTB. The backing vocals on Charlie Brown, right before the "so we soar" (or whatever he says) part. The piano you can barely hear in HLH (during the song, not the outro). So, what are your good and bad things about the album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i'maveryneatMonster.' Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 No, you can't express anything negative in this forum or your real feelings towards it if people don't agree with you, you'll get this: I don't care people that doesn't like the album (lie, I care, but I won't try to change their mind anymore) but I can't deal with someone trying to make the OTHERS doesn't like it too. What's your problem? Go listen to (Fucking) Muse, (Fucking)Radiohead, if people LIKE the album there's no problem with this. The problem is on you. This topic should be deleted, and you should be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 One good thing: "You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart" One bad thing: Not nearly as many lyrics that pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good thing: Jonny is making quite the appearance throughout MX. Bad thing: Moving to Mars isn't on the album. It should be after Charlie Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good: Cohesive. Bad: Drum machine in Up In Flames. Bleck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taameen**sparks** Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 ^ Yeah seriously how out of place was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good: The varying limits Coldplay pushed themselves out of. Bad: Chris' voice seems behind everything else in Don't Let It Break Your Heart and I hate that. It's by far my favorite song. ^ Yeah seriously how out of place was that? Very. I thought the beat at Austin City Limits was fine. EDIT: I am changing my 'Bad'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumbersGirl Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Bad: Drum machine in Up In Flames. Bleck. I actually kinda liked that... :anxious: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayhebe12 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good: I liked how some of the lyrics were all about breaking out and being unique (sorta... :lol:) Bad: You couldn't hear some of the instruments as well as you could on the last 4 albums... it was covered up with synth and stuff :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauCH Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good : UATW, they tried something new, Charlie Brown, their performances of the songs live. Bad : Synth. Pop. Rihanna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will hate it forever and ever ;) EDIT: OMG I'm talking about POP and not MX. Just realised it could sound like I was hating on MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aschall Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good: if I hear one song, I want to hear the rest of the album. Bad: perhaps one more full length song would be nice. NOT Moving to Mars. and the lasting appeal on certain songs are non-existant. (Paradise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telepian Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good: Epic guitar solos by Jonny Bad: Annoying vocal effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisin Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good things: Almost everything, here i go... The cohesive-ness (i don't know if that's an actual word) of the album The way they balanced things between rockers, acoustic stuff and pop-y, sinth-y songs like Princess of China The fact that i keep finding out little details about the whole story in the songs, things that i had previously heard and now have a new meaning (for example, the 'all the kids, they dance' bit in ETIAW that i now know refers to the Car Kids gang) Speaking of ETIAW, i liked it when it was first released but, to be honest, i was a little underwhelmed by it but now that i've heard it along with M.M.I.X i like it a lot more and i actually think it's one of the best and most important songs on the album Charlie Brown Hurts Like Heaven and Us Against The World, enough said Up With The Birds as the album closer, i actually think it matches the likes of Amsterdam and Everything's Not Lost/Life Is For Living as the best album closers A Hopeful Transmission/Don't Let It Break Your Heart, pure Coldplay genius Bad things: That they left out Moving To Mars, i know it didn't fit in with the whole urban thing but i still like it A LOT, a little too much enoxification for my taste but i'm fairly certain that they'll grow this phase out and get rid of Eno eventually.

Pink Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Only one good thing? Sorry cannot do. Good: Its length - it's concise, cohesive and flows perfectly Sonic texture - the way a variety of sounds blend, using instruments, effects, vocals, etc. Upbeat - the songs make me happy Jonny Bad: Wish Will's vocals were stronger in UATW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (Sorry I want another go) Good: MX/Hurts Like Heaven is the greatest opening to any album since, well, Politik. Bad: The lack of piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Bad: The lack of piano. Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyMN28 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good- (I have few)- UATW & UFO are just amazing. Why? Chris sounds great in them, and I love the accoustic feel of both of them. Simply stunning songs. Bad-(I have a few here too)Will's vocals need to be heard more in UATW. And I dont care for the drum beat in UIF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatilab Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Good thing: energy and concept Bad thing: over production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatilab Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Just wished they'd dropped princess of china, up in flames and made the three instrumentals in to proper, interesting instrumentals!! And longer too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I'm not trying to upset anybody, and people's opinions are personal- this is just something that is irking me. When people say 'MTM isn't on the album', constructively questioning... why do you care since the song was released anyway? like, people moaning about songs that we heard about that didn't get put on mx or haven't been released yet i can kind of get since that would be fresh music to hear but I honestly don't get why MTM not being on the actual album bothers people when it's out there. It's a great song, but if they'd put it on the album we wouldn't have got one of the other songs on there and we'd still be a song short (I know, I know 'unless they released THAT song on the ep) but yeah... Just wondering why there are loads of people out there making that a con. (again not being mean to any individuals out there, don't quote me and call me a jerk. I have issues :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 - Good: Almost everything. - Bad: I miss a 5-6 minute song with lots of loops or without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
