Saket Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Luke Pritchard, lead singer of The Kooks recently mentioned THIS in an article: "I'm really not a fan of the new Coldplay stuff, but this is genius. One of his best songs ever, in my opinion. How could they leave this off the album?! It's like Louis Amstrong meets Pink Floyd! I met Chris Martin for the first time in Paris while we were doing Tarratata about two months ago and I mentioned this song. He looked genuinely disappointed that they'd left it off. Bound to be a bootleg classic though. The entire article: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/luke-pritchard/kooks-new-song_b_1134004.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystaline Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 AGREED. That was pretty much the only complaint I had about MX. Moving to Mars should've made the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liu273420683 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 feel the same. they should have combined m.m.i.x and ETIAW and put MTM in the album so that they could have 3 songs starting with M. Fcuk the 45mins rule!:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 AGREED. That was pretty much the only complaint I had about MX. Moving to Mars should've made the cut. and Princess of China should have never been recorded :escaping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^ I liked POC but Rihanna ruined it. Damn you Rihanna :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liu273420683 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 and Princess of China should have never been recorded :escaping: POC is actually not bad. The fact is that Chris should've done it alone and gone another direction with the production. It creeps me out eveytime i hear the electronic background sound :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanif94 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 and Princess of China should have never been recorded :escaping: This. Or at least without Rihanna, or with less synths and more instruments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isrlns Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^ The only thing I like of Princess of China is the bassline. I honestly think that if they hadn't already recorded it with Rihanna, it wouldn't be on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 ^ i should hope :sick: It's one of the few Coldplay songs that I actually can't stand. But yeah, they should've swapped PoC with MtM :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Moving to Mars = Boring. Sorry but I am really satisfied they've left it of. And I like PoC too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzanafg Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I really like MTM. I hope they play it live again. Its lyrics are very good and so is the melody. Though I kind of like PoC, I honestly think Coldplay can do much better than this. I'm not saying this because it features Rihanna (I said elsewhere that I like what she did in that song), but because I know Coldplay can write better lyrics. I also think that PoC, like other MX tracks, are a bit too full. The synth stuff doesn't generally bug me as long as it's good and I probably can't say that about PoC.

astero Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 one of the best song in the album..really disappointed for lefting this out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It fits perfectly between Major Minus and U.F.O. So for me it isn't left out, I play it with the rest of the album. :dozey: I think it's my favorite song that's formally not on a studio album. I also think it's inspired by Wall-E.

OMG it would fit so well ! (I'm picturing in my mind a clip from Wall E with this song right now :awesome: ) I'm torn: it's a beautiful song and it would indeed fit perfectly between Major Minus and UFO, but I just...I'm not that into it...I gotta admit I'm a bit bored by this song, I don't feel it. EDIT: DAMN! I missed my 600th! The same happened 100 posts ago ! :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I know! :awesome: Mylo is Well-E and Xyloto is EVE and they're moving them to Mars etc. :sad: When I first heard those 3 songs from the ETIAW EP i was completely indifferent. :| I was such an idiot...

ColdplayFanatic16 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Awwww. I feel so bad for Chris... I love that song and POC but I think they should have put MTM, but regardless, I love MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarlow Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Moving to Mars = Boring. Sorry but I am really satisfied they've left it of. And I like PoC too. Agreed. Probably the most dull Coldplay song I've ever listened to. It fits nowhere on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I love the song too, but, MTM would have not fit in the context of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Agreed. Probably the most dull Coldplay song I've ever listened to. It fits nowhere on the album. So I guess u guys think Up With The Birds is equally crappy? I love the song too, but, MTM would have not fit in the context of the album. Well yeah, it's way too dark in a way, but I think it fits nicely between those 2 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 MTM is one of their strongest songs. And in my opinion, one of their best too. :) I was hoping that Mylo Xyloto was going to be full of "strong" songs like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 So I guess u guys think Up With The Birds is equally crappy? MTM is anything but dull. I <3 it. Well yeah, it's way too dark in a way, but I think it fits nicely between those 2 songs. I'm going to try it out now. EDIT: Yes. Yes it does work.

robsmith7 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yes, Moving to Mars should have been on the album. It should have replaced Up in Flames, I think that's the dullest track coldplay have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
