The Adversary Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I also don't like the backing vocals. It sounds to me at the moment to be "Too fly, dry" which doesn't belong on a Jay-Z tune, never mind Coldplay. Jonny and Guy make the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make out what the backing lyrics actually are saying, but the are indeed awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lonely Martian Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It seems the consensus is that "Adventure of a Lifetime" has very good production and instrumentation, but the songwriting is rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylobryte98 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I can't make out what the backing lyrics actually are saying, but the are indeed awful. Is anything good to you? Seriously. Not liking a track is one thing. But you're continuously criticizing it for one thing or the other. It's ok, you'll have 10 more songs to decide to like or hate.

gai Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 looking at the polls, what i'm seeing is the disappointed being louder (and more frequent) than the (somewhat) satisfied. reading the comments, i thought i would find a more negative poll result for the song, which is not the case at all.

I ran away Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I was responding to a point that The Adversary brought up. I am actually calm, just very disappointed. And yes, most of their songs from 1998 to 2008 were "good to me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arantza Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Omg what is this? It's so groovy and unColdplay-esque. Omg I think I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJMusic Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Okay. I see some people going slightly overboard here.. It's the lead single. Of course it's going to be more 'mainstream' and have elements of current chart music production/arrangement etc. It's just the nature of 'pop' album releases. Yellow came out on the back of brit-pop, lots of similar songs on the radio at the time. Same with a lot of subsequent tracks they've released as singles, album after album, it's just how it is. They're one of the biggest bands on the planet, their singles have to be commercial. (unfortunately?) You can't use one song to define the entirety of an unheard album. You just can't. We have no idea what the rest is like, c'mon. All things aside, an opinion is an opinion, not saying the people that aren't keen on it are wrong at all. It took a few listens, personally but it's rapidly grown on me. Not my favourite first single but it's promising..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Rush of Magic Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It was produced by Beyonce we can judge the entire album based on that fact alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJMusic Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Beyonce features on the album and 'had a hand' in some recording, that's very different from 'producing'. (Unless I've missed something announced more recently?) I see where you're coming from 100% but i still think it's jumping to conclusions too early. Beyoncé is a funny one generally.. she's very talented but she divides so much opinion, I'm always surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
