LP7- "A Head Full Of Dreams"

Radiohead say hi :)

It's great that Coldplay change their sound every album, but they're far from the first to do so - and they've never really moved that far away from pop structures etc. Brilliant? Yes. Revolutionary? Not really.

 

I have yet to hear the performance of Amazing Day - do you, or any anyone else, know where I can find it? I find it hard to believe you could perform that song in such a way for it to be anywhere near good, but I hope to be proved wrong :)

 

Agreed, certainly not revolutionary! The core substance is essentially the same but they've continually found ways to reinvent their style through which they do it. It works wonders for them and it's somewhat remarkable given the nature of chart music when they started out with Parachutes to what it is now. Unrecognisable (remember the good old days when you'd go into Woolworths and buy the single?) and yet in that whole time, Coldplay has been the only constant presence in popular music. Just to put it in context - I was 9 years old when Yellow and Parachutes took the charts by storm. I'm now 25 and Coldplay are still more or less in that same position! :o

 

They are very much the musical chameleons of our time!

Did some digging on the official website and found these.

This pic is named "kaleidoscope"

These are called "clouds"

And "trees"

 

While the latter 2 may not be relevant,

the "kaleidoscope" one definitely caught my attention:mellow:

it may not have anything to do with the song though

I click on it or "touch" it on my mobile phone and it linked me to the AOAL video on YouTube while the cloud showed me a picture of one of the posters taken at Baker Street station.

And we still don't have an album! LOL :laugh3: atleast we have a date and official news now which is more than what I would have predicted a few days ago. :P

Really do hope that amazing day will be the worst song of the album. Its not that I don't like it but close to clocks or other gems its just so... mediocre, its just an ok song for me. If something is worse than amazing day so it will be bad a thing haha.

[jc90]

If you're comparing a random song from LP7 (Amazing Day) to THE BEST of Coldplay (Clocks), of course that'll be hard to top!

I like Amazing Day, I find nothing bad with the song. Why do people got to find negatives in a good song. Like I said, I find nothing wrong with Coldplay Songs and I like all the albums. I got nothing bad to say about any of the Albums. If only people didn't do that. Oh well.

Well, lets not act like Coldplay are perfect, 'cause they certainly aren't. I mean, who is?

 

Personally, I can look past the flaws since the rest of the song generally sit well with me.

 

But some people just like to nitpick and point out flaws. That doesn't make them bad people, its just a glass-half-full/empty situation.

i assume female? then beyonce?

 

Wow. Great guess man.

Edit:#14000!:loveshower:

 

Probably because they have nothing else to show yet. I wouldn't be surprised if the one called trees will link to the video for Hymn for the Weekend once that song is released.

[Jamesfish]

When do we get the music video, I hope this is not the last time we hear from them.

Well I only said how the song made me feel. Its a good song but I like when coldplay do something more unique and creative, its not that I do not like the song its just that I don't find it a "woooo what a awsome song, eargasm, Im crying cos that is so good!!" kind of song. Just see for your self how clocks sound so more perfect on that last show than amazing day. Its just that amazing day its a good track.. but oh.. well when put byside of clocks it really looks like its way more just an ok song, nothing especial. That is the thing, amazing day doesnt feel special to me and that is ok. It happens, I'll always say what I think of a song even if I admire the band a lot, its not wrong to say what you don't like in a song.

^ I must agree, you can't really compare Amazing Day to a masterpiece like Clocks but in my opinion I really like Amazing Day. It's a good song to me. However, it certainly isn't Coldplay's most unique and creative song before. It kind of sounds like that song that you've heard before, no? I love the melody, it's gorgeous. But again, it's not among Coldplay's most creative. In fact, I'd argue that it's one of Coldplay's least creative songs. In most songs they seem to experiment with different sounds and beats, and the melodies seem really original, and everything together seems lkie a brand new, completely original song that hasn't been heard of before. Most of their songs seem to be "fresh" and "creative" in that sort of sense, and that's what I love about Coldplay. Their discography is so diverse and varied that... there's always something to listen to, because most of the time, they come up with really original ideas for songs, and since they are all so varied there's always a song for some particular situation. I just find it so puzzling and bizzare how Coldplay pulls this off... most of their songs fit into the "creative" and "original" category that really sounds like a song you haven't heard of before. It might remind you of other songs but they still "feel" original, you know what I mean? Back to Amazing Day, that song is one of the few songs in Coldplay's discography that doesn't "feel" original. Not to say that I'm disliking Amazing Day for it, because it certainly is a great song. I just feel it lacks creativity, because it's something like you think you've heard before. But I still really love the song. But I also agree with you. If this is the worst song of the album, this album is going to be freaking amazing like nothing ever heard of before. But that's just my opinion, if this is in fact the worst song of the album then this album is going to be great! (At this point though it'll have to be 2nd worst, since in my opinion, while AOAL is definetely superior in creativity and uniqueness to Amazing Day, I just feel that it's not as good a song as Amazing Day. I still am loving the song so far though. :thumbsup:)

That's it. You said everything that I believe too. I don't have to say nothing more haha. And that is exactly what I said about amazing day being the worse. It being the worse will be an awsome thing, cos that means that the album will have some.real.piece of gems.

[IcebatofvalikinRRBZ8]

Ok then.

[gacbrandao]

Ok then.

 

And let's hope the album will be awsome haha

[gacbrandao]

Cp3176.that' is just the thing haha. That "feels like something new even if you KKIIIND can relate to something" its so amazing, that feeling. And there is the ones that is really.hard to relate it like daylight. Wow the first time I listen to white shadows or daylight I was blown away.

Speed of sound is that song that you can relate to something but still feels fresh and creative and original. How I miss that haha *----*

[jc90]

Speed of sound still feels fresh and creative and original

 

Im nit picking, but SoS is basically Clocks

[gai]

going with jc90, all i can say is, x&y overall is not the most fresh lp coldplay put out. i feel like they were trying to recreate the magic in rush of blood as is and that's why they got such a blow back. but that was a good thing. this lead to viva! all in all, coldplay has done derivative things from early on in their career. the degree to which it is done may have changed now, but overall, they are not the most revolutionary, evolving, fresh band in the world. but we all absolute LOVE coldplay. either for similar or different reasons :) in this case, it looks like for different reasons and/or expectations.

 

edit: that being said, i don't like amazing day much either. there is nothing to add to their discography to me. but it may be a lovely little song live if it catches on, going by the tfi performance.

[gacbrandao]

Im nit picking, but SoS is basically Clocks

 

Yeah but it has some others thing in it. The guitar is totally different than clocks. The effect. And has bigger bridges than clocks too

[gacbrandao]

I prefer clocks but speed of sound is more.interesting and more well.constructed

Thats actually what the band themselves said. That they tried to make an album everyone expecting from them. They were out to please everyone and it fell flat.
