tekjansen505 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Omg I love Rhapsody in Blue!!!! Reminds me of United Airlines because they have used that song for a long time in all of their videos, commercials, safety videos, etc I get giddy whenever Chris talks about hip-hop, my first genre I loved. I have tweets on notification and I got mega excited over that one, especially just having 'Simon Pegg' listed haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 We're gonna get obsessed with everything Coldplay releases. It's just what we do :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enviado de meu MotoG3 usando Tapatalk It's scary that an improv is better than their last three albums combined.

I ran away Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I wouldn't rate this improv higher than the last three albums, but remember Electricity, the Ricky Gervais parody on the typical Coldplay sound with vocals from Chris ? Funnily, I do like that song more than much of the last three albums... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC01Coldplay Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I know its a matter of opinion and everything, but honestly the instrumentation of the last three albums are much better the 1st four. Will is a phenomenal producer and the best bass lines and some of the best riffs have come from from AHFOD alone. Again I know its opinion but i get angry when people say Mylo, Ghost Stories, or AHFOD are "forgettable" or "low effort" because its just untrue. Maybe vocal parts/lyrics aren't as meaningful (sorry Chris) but the rest of the band are for sure shining through more than ever. anyway this isnt the right place to discuss this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arushofjacktothehead Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 care to elaborate? I don't know man... Honestly, it's just the Oldplayer in me that strongly misses their old magic of the first four, in the vocals and the instrumentation. Sure, Mylo and GS were great too, but AHFOD is just a NO. It's what split my relationship with the band in half. Maybe I was a bit too harsh there, but I really think the first half of albums are superior. Just an opinion, but one I strongly believe in.

Just an opinion, but one I strongly believe in. well thats not really what I was saying. my point was that saying post-2011 Coldplay is low effort or unimaginative is so ridiculous. The instrumentation is superior in that there are so many layers that blend perfectly yet still sound simple, if you get what i'm trying to say. whether you enjoy the albums or not is irrelevant to what i'm saying. But them being bad because of the change in style is completely ridiculous. you think AHFOD because its not your type of music, which is cool, but dont dismiss it as bad because you think the band have lost their touch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you mean Guy as a producer, not Will, right ? I have to disagree there. I think production and instrumentation of the first three albums are superior. They are layered as well, but much more subtly. Parachutes for example has a warm organic sound as well blend of bass lines and drums that I have yet to hear in any other album. A Rush of Blood To The Head upon careful listening reveals many layers (more than Parachutes), but they individually are less obvious and harmonize so well that they create this unique soundscape (I suspect the use of pads in the background is to a large part responsible for it). Without commenting anything about the style and just judging production, I have to say that Mylo Xyloto and AHFOD mostly fall flat to my ears (some particularly negative examples in that regard: DLIBYH and Army of One). Out of the three last albums, I think Ghost Stories has the neatest production. You could argue that instrumentation got more diverse, that's for sure. But in my opinion it did not get superior over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncop3t3 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I highly doubt Coldplay would do anything on Trump. They've said hardly anything about him. If they were to do a political song it would at the very least be on Brexit (as Chris spoken against it), but I doubt that as well. As much as I'd love a more angry rockier song I don't think it's gonna happen, at least not on politics. In SLC Chris made a comment about Trump visiting Mexico. It was funny because Utah is VERY conservative and went for Trump heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC01Coldplay Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Surely you mean Guy as a producer, not Will, right ? No, I meant Will. When I say producer, I mean more in terms of creating the electronic drums/synths than mixing the sounds together, if that makes any sense. So not like Rik Simpson, think more of Kanye. But again this is all opinion. I just think it's unfair to say Coldplay don't put any effort into their music anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastwars Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Yes. See my above post. Comparing the production of Parachutes and MX is like comparing the sound warmth among vinyls and spotify Inviato dal mio ASUS_Z00AD utilizzando Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
