the_escapist 545 Posted November 12, 2019 My favorites so far: Sunrise Trouble In Town Daddy. (the best one so far). Right now listening to Orphans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xyloband_99 365 Posted November 12, 2019 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simoce 20 Posted November 12, 2019 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_escapist 545 Posted November 12, 2019 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InceptRonnie 76 Posted November 12, 2019 What about the production? Since AHFOD was way too polished im really curious for EL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_escapist 545 Posted November 12, 2019 WOTW/POTP had a lot of potential. It is a shame it was included in demo form. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I ran away 12706 Posted November 12, 2019 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prco1994 377 Posted November 12, 2019 Anyone agree that not only is this album the spiritual sequel to VLV but that it could also be their "OK Computer"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VCF 108 Posted November 12, 2019 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
