ColdMartin Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I can't wait to buy the album and listen to it in my car. It's usually in the car that i can really tell my feeling about a music haha Lol same as me , i only listen to the album twice im going to save it for the car raiding that’s how i can tell if a song is good or not for me XD 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Remember, my fellow listeners... we still haven't heard every new song because Flags has yet to leak. I'm really hoping it's as good as All Your Friends and Ghost Story, and honestly I'm confident that it will be after listening to the main album and not being disappointed by a single track. Something tells me that Flags is a random song they tagged onto the album i.e completely different from all the stuff we’ve heard on the album - maybe something along the lines of Orphans. I would love it if it was a Ghost Story type of indie rock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom043 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I can’t stop listening to Daddy. Me too.. what a song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jordanator Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I reckon Flags will be yet another acoustic solo from Chris. But hopefully it will surprise us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Do you guys know of any other songs similar to Guns? I like that it's fast and raw, with minimal instrumentation. Jose Gonzalez, Ben Howard, Damien Rice. Mumford and Sons first album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom043 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Jose Gonzalez, Ben Howard, Damien Rice. Mumford and Sons first album. Old Friends actually sounds a lot like Ben Howard's guitar play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Old Friends actually sounds a lot like Ben Howard's guitar play. Oh yes! Especially from his first album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope 'Flags' will be officially released around the world after the exclusive Japan CD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKR1904 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Is there any reason why the band stopped working with Eno? Maybe it's because Eno kicked Chris out of the band for 2 weeks a long time ago. :p 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Joel Sarah Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I listened to the album in my car and it's still wonderful! (Since I watched Once (2007), I always try to make a car test to made up my mind. Everyone should see this movie btw) You can see my latest album ranking after listening to Everyday Life countless times. 1) Parachutes 2)VLVODAAHF 3)AROBTTH 4)EL 5)GS 6)X&Y 7)MX 8)AHFOD GS and EL might change places, we will see it in time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronm360 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 X&YAROBTTHParachutesGSELMXVLVODAAHFAHFOD Thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. We're never going to get close to the heights of AROBTTH and the earlier albums imo but EL is the sort of experimental album I'd listen to in the evening from time to time and play it to cover to cover. I can't say I'm a particular fan of any of the individual tracks so far that I'd listen to them all the time like I do with songs from the first 3 albums but as a whole it's just so different from everything that's gone before and I really enjoy that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdMartin Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 As for my ranking 1) VLVODAAHF 2) AROBTTH 3) AHFOD 4) MX 5) EL ( for now ) 6) X&Y 7) Parachute 8) GS IMO EL will age very well , i will not be surprise if it end up being in top 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom043 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 AROBTTHELX&YParachutesVLVODAAHFMXGSAHFOD This would be mine for now, I really like what they've done with their experimental side on this new album. You can really hear something from every album they've ever made. A lot of Parachutes vibe acoustic songs. Plus the only real POP (Orphans) song on the album has real depth and layered meaning to it while remaining an upbeat song. Which is refreshing compared to Paradise, ETIAW, AOAL, POC and so on. EL Album favorites: Daddy, Trouble In Town, Orphans, Eko. Don't dislike anything on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42JTR Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 1. VLVODAAHF 2. AROBTTH 3. MX 4. EL 5. X&Y 6. Parachutes 7. AHFOD 8. GS I feel like EL would be higher in the ranking if it had more fully formed songs instead of the snippets and choir/gospel parts. I'm just not a big fan of that but I love that they're really doing what they like. And that the album is so diverse in terms of styles, it really is an album to listen from beginning to end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adversary Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The stretch from Eko to the end is the best part of the album for me. While I think Trouble in Town and Arabesque are the stand outs in the entirety, the latter end has such a warm feeling that hasn’t been on a Coldplay LP since Parachutes (Or maybe X&Y) It feels that Chris is just melodically hugging you, begging for you think introspectively and about the wider world. Some great falsetto singing there too. I love it. Cry Cry Cry sort of breaks that immersion there a little bit. It seems to me that would have been better placed at the end as a hidden closer, it strikes me as a Life is for Living type of song. Song placement is a minor gripe for this album. An absolutely stunning return to form. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prco1994 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Guys... I've been reading these posts and replies, rankings, complaints, love for the album, I'm happy most fans are in agreement that this is one of their greats. But I'm here to ask the real questions. WHO IS TONY IN OLD FRIENDS?!? WHAT IS OLD FRIENDS ABOUT?!!? Did one of Chris' friends named Tony pass away or something? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
