Draco Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 in the first half, beat a little too reminiscent of teardrop Oh I didn't even notice that and I binge Massive Attack. I actually wonder how they would sound if they really tried to go a trip hop direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplayisawesome Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Definitely a good tune where the band tries successfully again the 2 parts type of song like Fix You, 42 or Up With the Birds. I'm disappointed by the abrupt ending. It's so frustrating ! every time i listen, the ending reminds me of the ending of this: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobabe Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 This is actually my favorite Coldplay song ...in quite some time. Probably X&Y era.. as far as first listen.. 'this is amazing' type song. A few things though... unlike a lot of people here, I love the mix. I listen to a lot of M83, I don't mind the loud synth. It's a lovely.. almost gritty mix. They used a lot of space with the room mics in the mix. I love it.. I hear enough 'clean' mixes. I actually had more of a problem with the mix to Hypnotised. I mean.. did that keyboard loop really need to override the piano SO much? I've always thought Coldplay should mix the highlights of each companion album/EP/B-sides...I mean I would've been thrilled if Viva La Vida left off a few tracks for Glass of Water and Prospekt's March. Or if X&Y left off a few tracks for Proof or Things I Don't Understand. But I also get that ...leaving some of the poppier songs on albums and then following with a handful of songs for the old fans is a neat way to grow your base and keep your fans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudioScalia Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Halfway through the first listen of All I Can Think About Is You I was quite disappointed: same drum groove and bass line over and over again, it was getting boring honestly... don't get me wrong, some of my favorite pieces of music have a lot of repetition going on, but at least new instruments come in as the song goes on. None of it during the first 2 and a half minutes of AICTAIY.. Then Coldplay did what they're so good at: 180° LANDSCAPE CHANGE FOR THE WIN! Echoes of Atlas, Paradise, Clocks and Fix You in my opinion. YEAH! I'll go with a 7/10: the first part of the song wasn't terrible, but not that great either. The second half was a huge improvement, although I wish they highlighted the piano a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean.. did that keyboard loop really need to override the piano SO much? I agree about the mix. It sounds like they were going for a "live" sound rather than a super clean studio recording and I absolutely love it. The reverb and "space" in this song is just awesome, and if some of the finer elements get drowned out at the end that just adds to the live feeling. It's like a darker Glass of Water crossed with Atlas and a pinch of X&Y soundscaping thrown in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyo2000 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I realise that the thing that makes me like this song more than any other off their recent work is the lack of oohs and aahs which is kind of rare in the last couple of albums Sent from my SM-G920F using Coldplaying mobile app 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyloband_99 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I loved the thing that Chris sang at live Wonder where they'll go oooh but in the studio it turned aaah i think its very beautiful Sent from my SM-A500H using Coldplaying mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobabe Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So, I just looked at that Tokyo performance on Youtube where they play this live. Wow, this song was born to be played live! Whoever produced this had one job- contain this beast in a studio setting and don't fuck it up. Was it Eno? Seems too gritty to be the guys from that last pop album. Also wow, in that live version.. I love the way Chris Martin just jumped up from the piano abruptly as the song plays it's last note. The song ends in a sorta fierce walkaway. It really is a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am ending. And Chris Martin probably just jumped up to hurriedly grab a guitar or something for the next song. But I would totally dig it if the ending was a way to tell the haters 'We're still Coldplay, motherfuckers. And we still have rock in us yet." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilkesy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I got it by pre-ordering the EP. That wouldn't count toward the chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberrytom Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I really love it. It's experimental, cool and features some really beautiful piano. If people still say that Coldplay only make crappy radio-pop now this really proves them wrong. However I'd really like to hear a fixed version of this song, I'm not really sure what I think it needs because I quite like the dreamy vocals, although I wouldn't mind them being a little clearer. Maybe the first half needs a little something more, but then saying that, I could listen to a much longer version of the second half too. I'm pretty sure there'll be a fan fixed version on here eventually, unless the professional live recording changes anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmor95 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Great song. Wasn't doing much for me when it was released, but after a few listens it has grown on me. Also agree that the vocals could be a bit more clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchitty_16 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 First thing that came to mind when I looked at the lyrics to this song... I feel like Chris turned this quote of his from the AROBTTH era into AICTAIY... " It's weird that whatever else is on your mind, whether it's the downfall of global economics or terrible environmental troubles, the thing that always gets you most is when you fancy someone" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
