Danny Boy Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Still not on the Japanese iTunes Store. I guess they must be planning a simultaneous worldwide release like with Christmas Lights. Well, except for the UK. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxwatcher Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Every time I listen to it a few parts standout. The piano is beautiful, haunting, and although simple arpeggiation, it still sounds nice and Coldplay-like. I love Chris going to his lower register, then building up to his falsetto. The guitar refrain that comes during "I'm about to explode" is surreal. Also the little sound heard after "Carry your World" is so uplifting. Although the buildup is very slow and predictable, it leads to the most beautiful chorus since Death And All His Friends. Jonny's guitar work is at its finest at the end. Whatever the other instrument used at the end is, that is also what makes the ending one of the best Coldplay has had. I still wish it was longer though.

Majda Xyloto_95 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Mashup with the trailer shows how closely the song actually fits some of the themes of the movie: http://daveedgamboa.tumblr.com/post/60403126195/in-case-anyone-was-curious-what-it-would Just perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walewein Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I would like to call Atlas an example of post-Coldplay. Its haunting beginnings go back to Parachutes but towards the end there is that grandeur resulting from five years of stadium rock, but it is used sparsely, not in a distasteful ETIAW way. The soundscape is beautiful. To me it is a good sign that Coldplay have chosen to give wide exposure to this single as opposed to Moving to Mars, this other gem which had more or less the same vibe but was removed from the MX EP in the end. Viva post-Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miha Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well, if the song originally had roots in 2010 (judging from the piano ending piece from that Xmas concert in Liverpool) that bit didn't have anything to do with The Hunger Games. But I guess the band just completed the song based on the fact that they knew it was going to be Hunger Games related - that's what it shows in the lyrics. I think it's a great song to be honest, I was disappointed by the preview but this is really incredibly good, especially when you turn up the volume a bit, you can hear the atmospheric sounds beneath. I'm giving it 9/10. :) If this is the way Coldplay are going to go, we don't have to fear for LP6, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miha Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 However, I don't think it would translate so well into live setting. Moving to Mars being the perfect example of not doing it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplaySheffield Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Chris' vocals are beautiful, nice and mellow, and as with many Coldplay songs the tone of the song seems to raise the further it gets towards the end. The bit directly after the lyric "I'm about to explode" where the drums come in and some heavy piano playing from Chris sounds great too! And as for Jonny's solo at the end, well, that's just Jonny Buckland at his best isn't it? The end of the song, particularly Jonny's guitar, reminds me very much of the Viva era; it has a touch of 42 & DAAHF with the guitar (in terms of a big crescendo from Jonny and then back down to normal level if you know what I mean?). It gets a thumbs up from me! Very impressive I must say :D! But what else did you expect from Coldplay? They aren't the greatest band in the world for nothing :D!

TraceOddity Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 If I have one complaint, and it' a minor one, it'sthat I wish it was longer! And I totally agree about Chris using his lower register and building the vocals. Jonny has Just grown and evolved so much over the last few years...and his guitar work here is STELLAR! As good as Major Minus and moving To Mars in terms of their recent work. Unlike ETIAW, which I honestly didn't like but it grew on me, Atlas was love at first listen!:D Edit: and every time I heard Will's high hat build. I just want to jump out of my seat!

Jedi Leo Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 So I have decided to wait until radio premiere this evening, before listening to the song in its entirety. I enjoy reading your comments though :) It seems like a lot of you like the song and it sounds like it is vintage Coldplay, however I would not take that as an indication of the direction coldplay will take with LP6. After all Atlas is completely unrelated to their album and it has been crafted especially for Hunger Games, so it can also sonically match the tone of the movie.
