Let's get the credibility stuff out of the way first: Fan since Speed of Sound. Two favorite albums are AROBTTH and VLV. Love the early stuff: Careful Where You Stand, For You, Bigger Stronger, etc. I've been on the forums for every launch since X&Y. Without exception, the new albums are met with disappointment.

 

I think AHFOD is good, not great. Definitely better than GS and X&Y. Probably equal to MX.

 

Some classic songs are apparent already: Title track and Birds especially. Everglow drags a bit, but most of the songs are edited well and well produced. Chris's vocals are beautifully raw, and Guy is beastly.

 

The weakest tracks are Army of a One and X Marks the Spot. The latter is atrocious. Definitely a flow killer and borderline offensive.

 

If you like the album, ignore the negativity and enjoy the music. The tour will be awesome.

I PMed the link.

 

YES, THANK YOU!

So, it's confirmed that the video filmed in India was for HFTW?

 

Children jumping around singing "and I'm feeling drunk and high"... :lol: :laugh4: :lol:

I know it's about being drunk with life (as it says life's drink), but I hope everybody (critics) get the meaning and don't attack the video.

 

 

Wish it was for AHFOD :(

I don't know if you want to listen. You're an X&Y era kid

Lol.

 

I'm actually a Blue Room era kid. Bands evolve. I love all the new songs so far excited AHOD, WHICH I don't really mind.

Don't you dare saying AHFOD is better than the album that contains Fix You, White Shadows and 'Til Kingdom Come...

Lol.

Yeah, X&Y is great, legendary. MX is ok at best.

yeah, which is why I dont get why ppl are asking for PMs.

 

Because some of us dont know which ones are trustworthy and/or some sites dont work on mobile.

Thank you.

I know I'm not supposed to post MM links here but is something I made (non-Coldplay my original) to cleanse X Marks The Spot out of our minds:

that guy who was in india said it's like violet hill ? seriously ? remind me of how someone said that ASFOS is the new yellow .. can't decide what worst ??

Oh that's awesome.

I've only heard the live songs so far. Please tell me it's better than MX!

 

Yeah, X&Y is great, legendary. MX is ok at best.

 

I literally despised X&Y as an album sorryyyy. Sure I mean fix you is amazing but the rest... Meh... MX was alright I guess too... Better live than anything else.

I think it's better. Just do yourself a favor though and skip Army of One. If you really want to hear it, skip to Amazing Day after 3:24.

I'll keep that in mind.:)

AVOID X Marks the Spot AT ALL COSTS. AT. ALL. COSTS!!1

Loved both albums live, but it's a different experience.

 

Still love Parachutes, AROBTTH and VLV the best. GS grew on me.

 

Ahahaha I mean it was an alright album but definitely my least favourite. When I talk about Coldplay albums being not so great it doesn't really mean they suck it just means it's not assss good as the others imo.

 

Yeah, X&Y is great, legendary. MX is ok at best.

 

I'm too old to engage in this fight. :) X&Y doesn't do it for me, but I won't yuck on your yum. Plenty of good tracks there. Square One, White Shadows, Speed of Sound, Low.

DAY ONE "MX vs. AHFOD" COMPARISON

 

My favorites from MX:

-Hurts Like Heaven

-Paradise

-Charlie Brown

-Us Against the World

-Every Teardrop is a Waterfall

-Don't Let It Break Your Heart

-U.F.O

-Up With The Birds (best in MX)

 

My favorites from AHFOD:

-A Head Full of Dreams

-Birds

-Adventure of a Lifetime

-Army of One

-Amazing Day

-Up&Up (best in AHFOD)

 

Other Facts:

-MX' production is pretty good. On the other hand, AHFOD's sucks.

 

Winner: MX

 

p.s: This is a Day One review. I am pretty sure that as the days pass, AHFOD will get better and better in my ears.

i'm a fan of Coldplay since AROBTTH and I'm really enjoy this more than GS and X&Y

 

really curious for the critical reception to see if you guys have been harsh or what ? so far MX and GS are the most hated albums in this forum and that really match with Media reviews as it the lowest rated albums on Metacritic

 

but I'm quite positive on this one

Oh hey i finally downloaded it. Yay!

X&Y was their best album if they removed The Hardest Part for a B-Side
