HowCouldIForget Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Yeah, the thing I kinda learned is that whatever the band does, there will always be some backlash. But that goes for anything and everything. You're never gonna have everyone agree on everything. So, just kinda accept that inevitability and choose to be positive. I appreciate the advice. :) Wise times. What'd you think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I appreciate the advice. :) Wise times. What'd you think of it? Exceeded my expectations. I didn't think much of it when I heard the snippet (and kept the negative comments to myself). So when I heard it, I thought it was pretty good.

But I of course think people have the right to express negative opinions as that was me much of the GS era. :nod: We're all hard to please in our own way.

gacbrandao Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Unique? I mean. :thinking: It's just him singing falsetto the whole song unnecessarily. It's too saccharine. There are plenty of "pop" artists who do that. Melodies? What If is just simple piano and then oooo's and a painful wall of sound. At least he's playing something a little more complex here. Fix You's jam at the end is unusual, I will say that. Still sounds bombastic though as much as I like Jonny's guitar. Coldplay have never operated in a vacuum. And 2000's pop songs are rap and big synth choruses/EDM, not ballads. I know because many songs on the radio make my head want to explode. Piano ballads have been around and popular since the 70's at least. It's not a sudden, new trend. If you want to talk about what was "popular" back in the early 2000's, there were plenty of bands that sounded like Coldplay. Keane, Muse, Travis, Doves, you name it. It's never been a question of them being crazy original (except during Viva) I'd say. It's just what your taste is and I like piano music. The band isn't new to piano-driven songs or ballads. So you saying square one isn't unique?, or the chorus of x&y itself with loads of guitars. The space rock vibe from the album.. it was different, it has identity. White shadows isn't unique? Cmon.....I understand your point but those are really good melodies.. maybe not thaat unique as viva la vida album but it was very good. And wth falsetto everytime??? Say that to mylo, cos in x&y he does a good balance between the falsetto and the normal voice besides he screams a lot in x&y and was great screams. It was very original that album too. Of course you could relate to somethings but it stills like something different. Low *----* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmuckers Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 There is more than a little helping of Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" in that piano at the beginning but I am digging how it is used. To my ears this is a total blue eyed country soul song. It's a beautiful old torch song really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylobryte98 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 This might just be the best Chris' song of the album. Really raw voice and they way he changes his pitch is amazing. Loving the song v much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Message, Talk, Square One and Til Kingdom Come stick out to me. I think he uses too much/too intense falsetto on What If, that's what I meant. MX has a good vocal balance. Only high vocals I hear there are Paradise on the chorus, ETiAW and HLH. It is a good album and the space sounds are cool. I just think it was their least adventurous (not their worst though) but to each their own. I have somewhat high hopes for AHFoD after hearing this. Quite a variance in sounds from one song to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling an 8/10 on this album so far based on what I've heard. It's got some weak spots but it's diverse, fun, and old-new Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alice blue eyes Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 OMG this is horrible. The average 2000s popsong. It's a ballad, yes, but nothing outstanding or interesting about it. I mean, I agree it's not amazing. But it's not like X&Y didn't also have some simplistic/bland songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakersonic Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Some people in this forum are so close minded about pop music and electronic sounds that it makes me scary. Anyways....about the song, I dare to say Everglow is one of their best ballads since X&Y. It's way better than Amazing Day, which I thought was very average.
