coldplayisawesome Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 ^ I hear A LOT from their recent work on the track. Chris' lower register at some points (Yes, Moving To Mars), the tack piano (CB, Lovers In Japan) by the end, the background synths (Violet Hill), the simple chorus (Paradise, Hurts Like Heaven), the drums by the end made me think of Chtistmas Lights, the bass of Paradise and Death and All His Friends piano. So I don't see that much of old Coldplay. that guitar riff has Spies written all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 that guitar riff has Spies written all over it It really reminds me of Edge's riff from U2's Unknown Caller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 How come, recently, have all these one-off releases become insta-classics? (referring to Christmas Lights, Moving to Mars, and Atlas) Why couldn't MX have been this consistent? I am dissapoint. Whether you like the album or not, I don't see how you can class MX as stylistically inconsistent. All the songs have more unity of style and structure than any of their other albums.

All the songs have more unity of style and structure than any of their other albums. I wouldn't say so. X&Y is so stylistically consistent that it is actually the album's biggest flaw. Parachutes also has a striking unity of style, but that doesn't bother me as much. I'd say MX is still more diverse than these two, but I do see what you mean.

All the songs have more unity of style and structure than any of their other albums. I'm talking consistency of quality, not theme or style. Every song off MX is a mixed bag amongst fans. Where as the tracks I mentioned were just insta-hits with the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 The tinkling of the ivories reminds me of the guitar arrangement in I Bloom Blaum. It came to me in my sleep last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecortazzo Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 This is the first song since the Viva La Vida Era that I have just fell in love with. I honestly lost all hope on the band's last album MX. But to hear this new song is a great feeling. I have listened to this song literally at least 50 times now and it's still great every time. The song is a 10 out of 10 rating with me. Let's hope that the band will make more great music like this in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as the tracks I mentioned were just insta-hits with the fans. Fair enough. Though I would contend that Charlie Brown and perhaps UWTB are as close to universally acclaimed by the fanbase as anything they've done in the last decade or so. Other then that, yeah I agree, mixed bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arantza Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I didn't have any expectations, good or bad, because it's a song for a movie and I thought it would sound very different to what we are used to hear from Coldplay. But I was very surprised, in a good way, I really liked it and I think that it is very good. It's like you took something from the AROBTTH era and aged it, and it aged very well! I hope we can get some of that for LP6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 To me. Christmas Lights has more variation with sounds its more layered. The same with Moving to Mars. To me I Ran Away is there best track. With the best final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but all of Coldplay's recent one-offers seem to be following the same style. The band should take the hint that this is the style seemingly everyone likes :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, they are more dynamic, but to me, Atlas is like a slow jam with all those good Coldplay feels.... :dazzled: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Not everyone. :nod: The reaction here has been great, the iTunes ratings are even better, but there is also some negative criticism of it being "zzzzz" and "too nice" which I have to agree with (Chris' "exploding" can barely constitute a minor fart). So while this is fine I'd also like to hear something edgier and less goop approved on LP6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage of their career, they don't really need hits, or even to shift records, so it's only natural their going to do what they like at the moment, even if it's less popular. It happens to a lot of bands once they no longer have the pressure of worrying about money or acclaim. Coldplay are making music for the fun of it at this point.
