So does anyone have any alternate tracklisting for X and Y? It's currently my least favorite Coldplay album - not that it's bad, just when I have to rank the albums I like it least. So I was wondering if an alternate tracklist will change that.

What you mean, make an alternative list up? I can do that:

 

1. The Hardest Part [because it's personally my favourite song from the album.]

2. Speed of Sound

3. The World Turned Upside Down [Taken from the Fix You single]

4. Sleeping Sun [Taken from the Talk single]

5. White Shadows

6. What If

7. Things I Don't Understand [Taken from the Speed of Sound single]

8. Twisted Logic

9. Fix You

10. Talk

11. Swallowed in the Sea

12. Square One

13. Gravity [Taken from the Talk single]

14. Low

15. Til Kingdom Come

16. X&Y

17. A Message

18. Pour Me (Live At the Hollywood Bowl) [Taken from the Fix You single]

19. How You See the World No.2 [Taken from? I'm not too sure, I just got it off of iTunes under the compilation album "Help: a Day in the Life" it is apart of that era though as this is the B-side of The Hardest Part Live at Earls Court]

20. Proof [Taken from the Speed of Sound single]

It's the only Coldplay album I regard as actively bad so yea I'd like to change the tracklist:

 

1. Square One

2. White Shadows

3. Fix You

4. Talk

5. Sleeping Sun

6. Speed of Sound

7. Swallowed in the Sea

8. The Hardest Part

9. A Message

10. Til Kingdom Come

11. Gravity

7. Swallowed in the Sea (different lyrics if possible)

8. The Hardest Part

10. Til Kingdom Come

11. Gravity

 

You know, if you have those songs, and have some blank CDs, you could burn that list onto the disc on your computer, I do it all the time on Windows Media Player. I like to get my favourite songs and burn them to disc. It can be pretty fun experimenting what song blends in better in a certain order if you get what I mean?

Haha the only thing I'm sure of for my personal tracklist is that Fix You must be later in the order. I'm of the opinion that it's the emotional center of the album (kinda like Viva La Vida or A Sky Full of Stars) so I'd like for it to be the emotional climax as well.

 

Also Square One as the opener still. :)

1. Square One

2. Speed of Sound

3. What If?

4. Talk

5. The World Turned Upside Down

6. A Message

7. How You See the World

8. The Hardest Part

9. Swallowed in the Sea

10. White Shadows

11. Fix You

12. Til Kingdom Come

 

X&Y (the song) should be replaced with The World Turned Upside Down, which should be called "X&Y"

 

Put Fix You at/towards the end, even though I love Swallowed in the Sea there too (and Til Kingdom Come)

 

Speed of Sound towards the front

 

Replace Low with How You See the World; get rid of Twisted Logic

I've changed my mind:

 

1. The World Turned Upside Down

2. The Hardest Part

3. Sleeping Sun

4. Things I Don't Understand

5. Speed of Sound

6. How You See the World

7. White Shadows

8. A Message

9. Twisted Logic

10. Square One

11. Low

12. Swallowed in the Sea

13. Til Kingdom Come

14. X&Y

15. Fix You

X&Y (the song) should be replaced with The World Turned Upside Down, which should be called "X&Y"
