For those who are 'lucky' enough to have heard the new album, please discuss in here and not in the main thread to prevent spoilers.

 

As always NO LEAKS

 

Thank you!

My favorites so far:

Sunrise

Trouble In Town

Daddy. (the best one so far).

 

Right now listening to Orphans.

My favorites are:

Church

Trouble in Town

Champion of The World

 

Album is very nice and experimental. All songs are nice i think. But there are some weaker ones

Broken

WOWT/POTP

 

Broken is too much American. WOWT/POTP is very nice but it's a demo i think.

Seems that Trouble in Town gets decent feedback

Holy crap. I'm only at Sunrise and I'm almost in tears. This is one hell of an instrumental traack

I am LOVING Church... it reminds me a lot of Glass of Water

Trouble in Town is very low key, the bass work in it is amaaaaazing

My favorites:

Daddy

Trouble in Town

Eko

When i need a friend

 

Anyway there’s no one song i do not like. This is THE ALBUM.

The album has some great gems. Some moments are weaker.

On first listen, here is my ranking of the best songs:

- Daddy

- Champion of the World

- Trouble in Town

- Old Friends

- Eko

- Guns

- Sunrise

- Bani Adam

What about the production? Since AHFOD was way too polished im really curious for EL

WOTW/POTP had a lot of potential. It is a shame it was included in demo form.

Through with one listen right now, so here is a super quick review.

 

My absolute favourite track is Champion of the World. A gift to Oldplayers !

 

Other favs: Trouble in Town, Daddy, Sunrise, Arabesque, Everyday Life

 

Good but not outstanding songs: Eko, Old Friends, Guns (preview was great but the chorus is really strange)

 

Not so favs: Church (Stargate ?), BrokEn (glad it was short), When I Need a Friend, Orphans, Cry, Cry, Cry, Bani Adam, WOTW/POTP (sounds like no effort was put into this)

 

No opinion: the interlude between the two halves :D

 

Will definitely rank after the first three + Viva for me. Some of the songs very oustanding, with some was a bit underwhelmed. Vocals not always good. Little to no Jonny :(

But very diverse, very unexpected in parts.

Can someone DM the link?

 

Edit:

 

Nevermind, I just read some of the forum rules. I'll find it myself.

When I Need a Friend definitely brought up some small man tears

Anyone agree that not only is this album the spiritual sequel to VLV but that it could also be their "OK Computer"?

Is Trouble in Town comparable to something they have done before?

Is Trouble in Town comparable to something they have done before?

Not really

Kinda fast paced ?

Can’t find anything.....

I can’t find anything lol dying , patience was never my virtue

First listen done, too early to give a clear review but what I'm sure of is that this is definitely the most interesting release since Viva. The short songs are cool/interesting/not so-Coldplay enough to be more than fillers we will forget.

 

I don't think there is a single bad song in it, I agree with BrokEN being too American but I can do with it. At least it's different, I'm just happy to see Coldplay going out of their comfort zone! Will need more listens for some songs though (as I Ran Away said you can clearly hear what song has been produced by Stargate :/ ).

 

Favorites at first sight: Champion of the World (!!!), Daddy, Trouble in Town, Arabesque, Eko, Old Friends.

Champion of the World wow just WOW
