KatePT Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This is sad... I mean, all I've been hearing lately about this song is that is wonderful, the most beautiful on the album and then I read this feedbacks and I'm just like??? What can I expect? :inquisitive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojanchick99 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 ok, so only MX fans will love it... I may just appreciate it I think MX is Coldplay's weakest album, and I think Paradise is maybe my least favorite song on that album. However, I instantly connected with ASFOS so you never know.

grids Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ok, so from what i saw and heard today i can tell you a couple of things. But keep in mind 1. it was live 2. i listened to it once 3. i was full of adrenaline. Don't put too much in what i'm saying. The beginning is very similar to ETIAW. The hole thing has ETIAW in it. The hole song sounds very poppy. It will sure be a great radio song. And i just can't help myself, as i heard it i thought it sounded a bit like rihanna and 30 seconds to mars. Hard to explain why but they just came to my mind as i heard it. The song is different from what we have heard from GS so far. The lyrics are right at GS level, not very good to be honest. I probably could have written that lyrics myself. Very simple, just like Magic, Anothers Arms or You Are Always In My head. Right now, after hearing it once its just to poppy for me i'm really not loving it,(yet?). It's too little Coldplay and too much, something else. EDIT: It will for sure work great in stadiums. mmmm will see if the rest of everyone is going to like the song or not.. I really cant wait for this!!!!

RhysBP Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Without doubt, the most hype I've ever heard for an unreleased Coldplay song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grids Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I think it's quite unusual that Coldplay is kinda giving us surprises at this time. Unlike previously with their previous albums, they announced concert dates publicly without a doubt. But look at everyone now, so frustrated if couldnt get the tickets and since the band will be emailing through the mailing list, and not everyone will be there on time to check emails. I really dont know why the band is doing this. One assumption might be the album title, considering it's called "Ghost Stories", their strategy to schedule dates with surprises (especially today at Baden) will be like behind the shadows (and I dont know why I'm thinking about shadows) too, and I guess the people who got tickets for today at Baden will be so unexpectedly very lucky! Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyrott2 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I am getting more and more nervous for this song after reading all these reviews!! Comparisons to ETIAW and Viva La Vida make me a bit hopeful, but it is clear the lyrics, like on most of the album, are, erm.... as simple as simple can get? Plus the comparisons to 30 Seconds to Mars, Rihanna? I like both artists to some degree but not when compared to Coldplay. I feel like both are at the center of teeny-bopper pop music today and that is somewhere I want Coldplay to mature away from. Plus, Rihanna ruined PoC for me, her lovely voice is just way too dramatic to take seriously with those lyrics. Undoubtedly ASFOS will be a radio explosion like Paradise or Clocks which still seem to get some regular airtime, and that is too bad, IMO. I was hoping Magic was going to be the most pop oriented track on this album which would leave the rest of the songs uncharacteristically alternative when looking at MX in the rearview. But I suppose two radio friendly tracks is far less than 4 (Paradise, Charlie Brown, PoC, ETIAW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Why does it seem, from all the reviews, as though that this song will stand out like a sore thumb on this album? Comparisons in sound to ETIAW and DLIBYH (good song ruined by terrible production) are setting very low expectations for this tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayrn43 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 sounds great. I'm only listening to this once though. Gonna be a SMASH hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Love the vocals. Chris hasn't really done anything like some parts of it before (I'm thinking 'I don't care if you wanna tear me apart'). I think that clip is missing the start of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingzilla Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The sound was bad enough not to ruin the song for me. With that said, I wont listen to it until its released or performed lived publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayrn43 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Oh and that instrumental at the end is the same thing that we heard a bit at the end of the gig today, pretty sure it's part of O or O reprise or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
