November 12, 20196 yr Will need more time to process this album but for me right now "Daddy" is a triumph. Heavy "Famous Old Painters" vibe on this one. Yes! Now I know what the piano reminds me of!
November 12, 20196 yr The Spanish speaking after When I Need a Friend is a sample of a film called Everything Is Incredible, a documentary that follows a man from Honduras who built a helicopter from scratch. https://theaudienceawards.com/films/everything-is-incredible17242?dataX=&dataY=&dataW=&dataH=&dataR=
November 12, 20196 yr I'm really really amused that people raving about Daddy. Who would have thunk it. Lol.
November 12, 20196 yr this is the album that the oldplayers were waiting for, being honest, it surprised me so much
November 12, 20196 yr So I am flying on my bicycle Heading out from the Earth I'm jumping with my parachute Out into the universe :heart:
November 12, 20196 yr this is the album that the oldplayers were waiting for, being honest, it surprised me so much Absolutely!
November 12, 20196 yr No one talks about It, but I think that Eko has a sparkling beauty. His voice is so incredibile.
November 12, 20196 yr "When I Need A Friend" is already one of my favorite Coldplay songs of all time. Coldplay's "O Holy Night".
November 12, 20196 yr I'm really really amused that people raving about Daddy. Who would have thunk it. Lol. Yes! Some people may complain about the lyrics being too plain but I genuinely think it's brilliant. May be my favorite so far.
November 12, 20196 yr Overall: Sunrise, Arabesque and When I Need a Friend are the three best songs on this album for me.
November 12, 20196 yr Some songs are amazing beyond anything.... some raw but also brilliant. Can't be critical about it. There'so much variety, I can't even believe.
November 12, 20196 yr Some songs are amazing beyond anything.... some raw but also brilliant. Can't be critical about it. There'so much variety, I can't even believe. My three best songs have to be Champion of the World, Daddy and Orphans.
November 12, 20196 yr lyrics from daddy lyrics from daddy champion of the world and old friends I think
November 12, 20196 yr I think the stretch from Eko to Champion of the World is my favourite part of the album.
November 12, 20196 yr I couldn’t even understand the words in when I need a friend maybe u need my ears checked lmao I loved it and sounded great but there’s several songs I’m really needing the lyrics too !!
November 12, 20196 yr Are they any interludes? What about the voice memos? Or are they all songs? Not surprise Sunrise is an instrumental. Better than LiT? (cause that's my all time favourite instrumental and I don't think anything can come close in beating that). Gah! The not knowing is killing meeee!

(cause that's my all time favourite instrumental and I don't think anything can come close in beating that). Gah! The not knowing is killing meeee! There’s an interlude between the two half’s of the album. The other ones can’t really be described as interludes.. they’re like short songs or demos. The Voice samples are mostly in or at the end of the songs but they’re put to music and not on their own. Sunrise is classical like something from Viva, it can’t really be compared to LiT.

(cause that's my all time favourite instrumental and I don't think anything can come close in beating that). Gah! The not knowing is killing meeee! There are no interludes like we saw in MX or AHFOD other than WOTW/POTP - and even then, I would barely call it an interlude, it's a one minute recording of Chris playing a "demo" on an acoustic guitar. Every other song is complete and fully fledged, they just happen to be short. About two minutes and a half for most of them. The only completely instrumental song is Sunrise and it is completely beautiful. Much more than LiT. Also very different in style though so hard to compare. The other instrumental is Bani Adam which is only instrumental for half of it, after which it turns into a spoken word Arabic and English poem sort of song, kind of like Kaleidoscope, where it's half piano half poem, but much better realized and completed. EDIT: As mentioned by another user, it's true, there is an interlude, it's between Sunrise and Sunset after "When I Need a Friend", it's church bells to change from one half of the alum to the next.
November 12, 20196 yr I already heard it three times and I already convinced myself that it is the best album of the coldplay decade, without pop collaborations, without electronic dance sounds, the melodies are so unique, even the short songs that in other albums passed without glory here are magnificent, undoubtedly the best albums of this band. I can feel happy with a record after 10 years
November 12, 20196 yr I didn't listen to the leaks but just read the reviews here. Weird, earlier albums had less Guy while Jonny was more upfront. Now it's the other way round?^^
