It's time to eliminate X&Y! One of the more polarizing albums, some see it as a perfect follow-up to AROBTTH, while others see it as bloated and self-indulgent. In other words, this should be a very interesting elimination! ;)

 

Songs a hundred miles long:

Square One

What If

White Shadows

Fix You

Talk

X&Y

Speed of Sound

A Message

Low

The Hardest Part

Swallowed in the Sea

Twisted Logic

Till Kingdom Come

Things I Don't Understand

Proof

The World Turned Upside Down

Pour Me

Sleeping Sun

Gravity

How You See the World

 

Double eliminations to start and will continue until we reach the top 6! Personally, this is my favorite era of Coldplay, so I don't exactly have a least favorite, but I'll go with Low. Even though it has that spoon solo. ;)

These 7 words just made me like you a lot, lot, lot more. Seriously !!! :D

 

I like Low because of the lyrics and the spoon solo :)

I'll pick How you see the world, somehow it's the song I like least from this great Era.

ELIMINATION #3: X&Y

 

My favorite album. [emoji173]️ i have to vote for poor me.

What, was I not likable before? :P

 

Btw which lyrics of How You See the World do you prefer? No. 1 or No. 2?

I didn't say I didn't like you before, all I said was that I like you MORE now :P

 

about the lyrics, not sure....

I'm also going to go with How You See the World...

I only have #2 on my phone, so maybe thats why I'm eliminating it....the sound just doesn't fit with the rest of X&Y.....haven't heard #1 in a while, so I'll give it a listen and maybe I'll change my vote ;)

 

Edit: Still sticking with my vote

How You See The World

Pour me

Pour me

 

That's gonna be my vote next round if it isn't eliminated

I have to go with Pour me too

Pour Me.

 

(poor you, pour me)

Poor Pour Me and How You See the World, one the greatest punk moment in Coldplay and the other a very nice b-side. :cry: (yes, you're gonna hear me complain a lot in this thread :P)

Btw, did you guys like having only single eliminations like in the AROBTTH elimination or should we stick with using the old system of having double eliminations until the top 6?

I'd prefer double elimination for the first three rounds to not make it longer, then single ones to give a fair chance to each song. And I think How You See the World deserves to last a little bit farther, there are a couple of songs I would like to see eliminated first.

Pour Me

 

It's good but perhaps the least interesting X&Y b-side for me. How You See the World deserves to last a little while longer so I do hope it doesn't get eliminated right away.

 

Btw double elimination for the first few rounds is a good idea just to quicken the pace until it gets harder to decide.

Yeah, I'd go for double elimnations in the first 3 rounds only.

Ok then! Only the first 3 rounds will have double eliminations!! :)

Poor Pour Me... I'm gonna vote for Pour Me too !

My favourite era too... around 2005 they were on the top of their career imo.

Never understood that thing tbh. The screaming at the end puts me off especially.
