James. Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 So does Chris only dislike the studio version of THP? Because that would make sense if he only likes playing the piano version live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate_ Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I like THP a lot, makes me a little bit sad when I listen to it, but I like the lyrics, and guitar sounds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyan Kat Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I liked the Hardest Part a lot when I first heard it but it has grown very tiresome along with Speed Of Sound which I can no longer stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I don't hate it. But since X&Y is kinda too long, THP would be the first to go. The only "problem" I have with it is the fact that it was a single and it had a video. White Shadows and Square One singles/videos should have come next after Talk. I kinda feel that they didn't want to release it but the record company made them. And they made the WTF video as a kind of "fuck you" to Parlophone/EMI. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 *the fact **should have come ***release it ****WTF video Never before in my life have I made so many typos in a single post. :D It does seem like they did that, right? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, it seems likely :lol: If it were up to me I would have left THP off X&Y, then maybe released the piano version as a B-Side to Violet Hill or something? That would cut some of the length off X&Y, and another single could have taken its place like White Shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry Swinger Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't hate it. I especially loved the live,slow version.It is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I love the LRLRL version, but that girl who screams at the end really pisses me off. I wish they had edited her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintergreen Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 And they made the WTF video as a kind of "fuck you" to Parlophone/EMI. :D That's the first explanation I've heard of for that video that makes complete and total sense to me :p. I love "The Hardest Part" (genuinely do, I love the chorus and the way it's sung, and the sorta alt-country-ish feel of the music), but the video for it is just weird as all get out and not...my...thing at all. I also agree with you about X&Y being a bit too long. It could definitely do with some editing down. I think it's a good album, there's many songs on there I love. But yes, it does have some flaws. Course, I also am sorta aware of the whole story with the mess and problems surrounding the making of X&Y, so there were a lot of other factors at play with that, too. Which is a shame, 'cause, like I said, there is a good album in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristal Siderglace Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love it...maybe because of the lyrics or because is a very important song for me and my life...I don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 X&Y is one of my favorite albums of all time. I must have listened to it 1000s of times, it just really speaks to me. The Hardest Part is great. Its a great "angsty" part of the album! It's a great story of love and getting it all wrong as it slips from your hands, as well as learning to let it go when its dead and how hard that can be. Yeah, I love it!

Yu-tong Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I love the hardest part!(The video is great, too.) It's a good song from X&Y. X&Y is perfect. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novocaine89 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Agree on that, X&Y is my favourite album, too! And I connot understand the negative attitude when it comes to The Hardest Part either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedPolitik Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It reminds me of R.E.M. but not as good obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospector Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I don't like it, the R.E.M style piano riff is the only thing I accept, the rest is rubish, the guitar is beyond annoying, the chorus is maybe the worst thing Chris ever wrote. The video is OK, but weired, the lady scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawr Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think it's really bad. I remember seeing an interview where Chris said it was a regret of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 As I said, it's not that bad. The reason for all the hate is because it was the fourth single. It completely murdered the X&Y era. If it were left aside and the video weren't made it would be just another marginal song. It's embarrassing considering they were the biggest act of 2005 and X&Y was the best selling album worldwide. White Shadows and Square One would have solidified their position. Meh... coulda, woulda, shoulda... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedPolitik Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I actually am listening to X&Y now and this song is on atm. I think it's a pretty decent song. A nice little R.E.M. tribute. Not amazing but it's nowhere near one of Coldplay's worst song. It gets a hard time from people on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainplay Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 X&Y always gets a lot of hate on here too..Buut, I think that The Hardest Part trumps most of MX :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
