The Adversary Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Am I the future or the history? I think this lyric in EL will sum up this album. It’s going to be an effortless blend of Oldplay and Newplay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Gonna try to hold out until the album release to listen to Everyday life, as I don't want to spoil the last track of the album! We shall see how long I last . . . The reviews from you all are interesting, though. Viva-era strings, similar to Fix You, but ends abruptly? And someone on Reddit compared it to AROBTTH (the song). I'm very intrigued . . . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very intrigued . . . Exactly my thoughts. I'm holding off and a lot of the opinions of the song seem to contradict each other, which while it worries me, it makes me more excited too. My one worry is about people saying it goes nowhere, hopefully it's a great song even without that typical Coldplay climax 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prco1994 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Wow! Everyday Life is a truly special song, it gives me crazy VLV/AROBTTH vibes, The strings, the guitar, the piano, amazing song! It’s what we’ve been asking for for a couple of eras now, I am truly in love with it! On the other hand, the live performance of Orphans was INSANE! It sounds even more old-school live than it does in the album, it’s an incredible song as well, this is truly a very special era and I really can’t wait to see what the rest of the album sounds like but it seems to be the album we’ve all been asking for 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewsky Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps8r2JGe37M View: https://youtu.be/ps8r2JGe37M I was just checking out both the album version and the SNL Live version. The song in general is amazing and together with the previous two new songs it's promising that the album will be fantastic! Looking forward to it. Now, in my opinion here the live version of 'Everyday Life' is even better, the studio version partly has auto-tuned vocals... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vico xt Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I can see Everyday Life in the end of a movie. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Not sure if I stole this idea or not, but interesting though nonetheless: Having heard 3 of the songs, at its current trajectory, where would you rank Everyday Life as an album amongst the LPs Coldplay has put out so far? I know, wayyy too soon, plus the full album is coming in a few weeks, but thought id ask! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, wayyy too soon, plus the full album is coming in a few weeks, but thought id ask! Ahead of GS and AHFoD, around X&Y territory. Behind VlVoDaAHF, ARoBttH, P, and MX. I know people are upset that the album is "just" 53 minutes but even after hearing 12 min of it we still have more than three quarters of the album left to hear.

I know, wayyy too soon, plus the full album is coming in a few weeks, but thought id ask! Not gonna lie, at first with Arabesque and Orphans I was thinking EL could slip into my fave album up with VLV and AROBTTH, assuming the album carries a consistent sound from these tracks (more meaningful, cool lyrics, jazz instrumentation, bouncy bass). But modern Coldplay really goes into a lot of genres so the last 3/4 of this album could be totally different. And as far as Everyday Life goes....well let's just say now I'm worried. [spoiler=My Everyday Life Track Review] Yeah inessential Coldplay, like 5/10, might grow on me. The strings throughout are great, but i'm not a fan of the choice of using glossy, 80's keyboards and the dull, syruppy drumpad. Jonny's ambient guitar is again inaudible throughout most of the track (see Oceans, O, Army of One), which is one of my biggest newplay gripes. Guy's bassline is fine but kind of muddy in the mix. Lyrically, this is one of those tracks on a good day, I can just be like "okay cool Chris" but today I think they are too on the nose and lack any spice or poetry. Chris can sometimes be overly literal and he's doing that here, but of course the sentiment is nice. In some ways track feels like a mixture of all of Coldplay's era. The songwriting feels similar to X&Y, the guitar is similar to Paracthutes/AROBTTH, production is Ghost Stories/MX. But the song has no momentum. It doesn't really go anywhere or do anything as interesting as the opening strings. And even then, we have cooler string arrangements out of Colplay (Hypnotised, ALIENS, everything Viva, Birds). In summary it's a Chris Martin piano ballad (Up In Flames, O) and the band ends up just filling in the empty sound without adding much imagination to the track. Idk, it's cool to have a soft closer to an album i guess but if this is how they conclude this era, I'm worried I've been fooled into the first two singles being my fave tracks and then not liking a lot of the rest of the album .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42JTR Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 My ranking at this moment would be: 1. VLVODAAHF 2. AROBTTH 3. MX 4. EL 5. X&Y 6. GS 7. PARACHUTES 8. AHFOD 1 or 2 more "Arabesques" and I think the album will climb to a shared 2nd favorite. To really compete with VLVODAAHF it needs some very big bangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Oh, @cp3176 is back with his monster posts :D For a few years now his voice has been "old" and it's understandable it will only continue to decline. That is one of my main worries about the future of Coldplay, actually. His voice already started declining after the Viva Tour imho :( Now, in my opinion here the live version of 'Everyday Life' is even better, the studio version partly has auto-tuned vocals... Really ? Where ? :O Not gonna lie, at first with Arabesque and Orphans I was thinking EL could slip into my fave album up with VLV and AROBTTH, assuming the album carries a consistent sound from these tracks (more meaningful, cool lyrics, jazz instrumentation, bouncy bass).

andrewsky Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Really ? Where ? :O Check out the chorus part in the studio version. Especially the high notes are 'too straight' to sound natural, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboy114 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I was intoxicated and balled my eyes out to the live version of Everyday Life and then again when I downloaded the studio version. This era is going to destroy my emotions 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeddingDom Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I think it's too soon to start thinking where the album will rank in our personal list but I'm curious too My ranking is: 1. AROBTTH 2. X&Y 3. Ghost Stories 4. VLVODAAHF 5. Parachutes 6. Mylo Xyloto 7. AHFOD I wonder if EL can top my love for Ghost Stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hard to rank to be honest but I know for sure it’ll rank better than AHFOD. :no_mouth: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
