The Lonely Martian Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Same rules as all the x vs. Ghost Stories threads, but this time up against "Atlas", which never appeared on a Coldplay album, although appears on a one-track single release. I'll start! Atlas vs. Always In My Head Atlas vs. Magic Atlas vs. Ink Atlas vs. True Love Atlas vs. Midnight Atlas vs. Another's Arms Atlas vs. Oceans Atlas vs. A Sky Full of Stars Atlas vs. O Yes, this is both a parody of and a semi-serious x vs. Ghost Stories thread. Enjoy! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 :lol: Atlas is way better than anything on the album except for Midnight, ASFOS, and O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Atlas would probably only beat True Love for me because the first two minutes of Atlas are so dull. Instant skipper when it comes on shuffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I still do not understand the love for Atlas. It's perhaps one of the most dull and most average songs Coldplay has ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The vocals are a bit dry/dead I'll admit, but the piano is really good - quite unique and not sounding like...anything else really. And the slide-ebow combo that Jonny does in the choruses genuinely harks back to Oldplay in a fresh way. Will and Guy have solid contributions of course, and the piano-guitar interplay at the end is really unique and cool sounding - both good lines. Moreover, it just has a sense of 4-dudes playing music that is additionally supplemented by a couple simply electronic things (noises in the choruses, vocal production at the end, atmospherics on the drums).

RiotFever Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 imo Atlas loses all of those except Magic and True Love :sneaky: Oh, and AYF, GS and O2 kill it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
