42JTR 619 Posted November 12, 2019 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_escapist 545 Posted November 12, 2019 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= 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kupiz 1 Posted November 12, 2019 No one talks about It, but I think that Eko has a sparkling beauty. His voice is so incredibile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
United 68 Posted November 12, 2019 "When I Need A Friend" is already one of my favorite Coldplay songs of all time. Coldplay's "O Holy Night". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jdckcom 107 Posted November 12, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
United 68 Posted November 12, 2019 Overall: Sunrise, Arabesque and When I Need a Friend are the three best songs on this album for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miha 196 Posted November 12, 2019 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Adversary 1039 Posted November 12, 2019 I think the stretch from Eko to Champion of the World is my favourite part of the album. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shred 775 Posted November 12, 2019 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danirl87 567 Posted November 12, 2019 Sunrise is a lot better than LiT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swallowed_in_coldplay 3 Posted November 12, 2019 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 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewsky 466 Posted November 12, 2019 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?^^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
