jc90 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Guise, its happening...I'm liking it more and more! edit: My conclusion 1- Chris stop crying and acting about your personal issues and it is all over this album which is not. 2- you should have an Oscar on the performance of that interview with Zane, all the pause and silence and acting weird it is all a part of the acting your a doing. 3- you gave 65% for X&Y. However, it is sooooo much better than MX and GS so far, and a lot of people love it. 4- Wish someone else handle the talking instead of Chris. 5- the only truth he said: he is a bieber and 1D fan which explains it all (dont tell me he is makeing fun of them, because he is not).

rrpjdisc Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Mmmm this is my opinion about ASFOS. First, I was so excited when I heard midnight which was different but lyrically deep and then came out magic which was average like all MX album. Later, we heard ocean and a bit of O. In general, all the songs we heard so far had very simple "in a bad way" lyrics (except midnight). I have read true love and it is as simple as just talking to a friend or chatting on with someone over the phone. Today, a sky full of stars came out and I wish it never came out. It is worse by light years than princess of china and waterfall. There is no creativity, nothing new at all, repetition repetition repetition. So stupid song maybe bieber or 3D direction could make it or make better than this. Remember people as Chris said it should be personal album with a lot of support from his band mate and family. If he thinks this is the most difficult time in his life and crying about it in the interview, and this as personal as he can get, he has problems. How come it is personal? while it is very shallow ( I don't say please reveal everything it is not my business, what I mean it should be emotional and more mature lyrics). Stop acting you don't needed too, people going to buy it no worries. When I heard the 1 hours and 1 min interview I was so confidence it is going to be emotional album full of lyrics that is to deep or at least deep enough that it came from difficult times. 16 years old girl/boy with broken heart from any life reasons can 100% write better lyrics than your whole GS album so far. My conclusion 1- Chris stop crying and acting about your personal issues and it is all over this album which is not. 2- you should have an Oscar on the performance of that interview with Zane, all the pause and silence and acting weird it is all a part of the acting your a doing. 3- you gave 65% for X&Y.

Blakexy1125 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 You know what makes coldplay amazing, they can have the weakest lyrics in the world (they don't though) and Chris can still sing it with such emotion that makes you feel with him. "I don't care, go on and tear me apart I don't care if you do Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars I think I saw you" These lyrics aren't good if you read them without the context of the song. But the way Chris sings them is just fantastic. He has so much emotion in his voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Voted 10/10 I wish I could vote 20/10. Flawless dance pop rock song. They blended their sound with EDM very well. I'm obsessed with the song and I can't stop playing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invertedblue Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think I'll need to hear this in the context of the album before making a final judgement. It stands alone good enough, especially for casual fans. I'm not huge on EDM but this is an enjoyable track anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted__Logic Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I don't like it.. 3/10 It looks like chris would love to leave the band and go solo and make collaborations with massive pop artists. I think that will happen. hopefully not soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup! I will still be there! One song doesn't effect my view on the band! It is even kind of catchy! It will be great to dance too in the concert!

You have to be kidding me?? Are you serious?? How is Chris acting in his interview with Zane? People usually take pauses to form their thoughts. And he probably wanted to give an honest answer to those questions, like he does in almost all of his interviews!! And if you fail to recognize the beauty in simplicity, then i'm sorry for you. Good music is not all about heavy lyrics, there's this other thing call melody!! That's why Magic is so beautiful, because of its simplicity. And the lyrics are just right, they convey the message of the song very well. He doesn't have to say everything in detail for us to understand. Wow i can't even handle your comment.

glangloi Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 When Chris sings "I don't care, go on and tear me apart", through his voice I can feel that he really means it. I felt the same thing. It really added to the song, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlipBack Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Here's a conversation I had with a friend when I showed him this song. He generally does not like very "poppy" music, i.e. avicii, rihanna, beyonce, one direction, t swift, etc etc. I got him hooked on Coldplay about 2 years ago, his favorite Coldplay album is AROBTTH followed by Parachutes. He does NOT like MX, except he says Charlie Brown does something really cool with changing time signatures and he likes UATW. He is a quite musically gifted person (plays guitar, bass, piano, and trumpet) and tends to prefer music that is complex and technical. His favorite band is Dream Theater. Me: *link to asfos* Me: don't think youll like this one so many Him: well the first like Him: second Him: was fantastic Him: and im really liking it Him: 15 in Him: still good Him: 25 still good Him: damn this album is gonna be really good Me: it kinda becomes like Him: im prolly gonna buy it Me: avicii + rihanna's we found love Him: minute in Him: still good Him: maybe i wont like the chorus? Me: maybe idk Me: maybe you'll like it Him: still sounds very much like coldplay Him: minute and a half in Him: this is like Him: almost better than magic I even said things to try to get him to not like it, and he still liked it quite a bit.

IneedYou23 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The song is decent and a grower for me. I know that Chris seems to be heavily influenced by pop music so I guess I should not be totally surprised that they would eventually release a song like this one. For me, as long as this is the only track on the album that sounds like EDM music, then thats fine. It is a big contrast though from their previous stuff when you start to compare it with their back catalogue. I personally think Chris vocals don't sound very strong on this track, they almost sound a bit strained. Anyways, I sound like a walking contradiction, I guess I'm trying to convince myself to like it, which I'm sure I eventually will. I always tell myself that the boys are trying to grow and expand their palette musically, so I respect that and try to walk in stride with them.

Kingzilla Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 As an indivisual song, I enjoy it. It's not amazing, but I personally don't like EDM music too much. But i've been saying for a while that this will work well in the album as the climax. So it works imo, though I need to actual listen to the album truly feel it.
