danirl87 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 For the Oldplayers, did this album satisfy you?? Absolutely! There's new stuff unlike anything they've ever done like the gospel inspired Broken and jazzy Arabesque and classic rockers A referee Won't stop the fight Everyone can see I am hurt :heart_eyes: So I am flying on my bicycle Heading out from the Earth I'm jumping with my parachute Out into the universe :heart: My favorite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jordanator Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have no freaking idea how you guys received the leak but your reactions sound like this album is going to be an absolute winner. I am happy to wait 10 days I think unlike some people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastwars Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Guns is the first true political song since Violet Hill, and reminded me also of 1.36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 "Old Friends" is straight from Parachutes, "Church" is straight from AHFOD while "When I Need a Friend" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever released by Coldplay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawberrytom Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Finished my first my first listen more than an hour ago. I'm certainly impressed by how brave they've been with this album, it's certainly experimental and I'm glad they seem to not care that people might not take well to the sound or politics. Having said that, I'm not getting the OK Computer/Kid A feel that some people have mentioned even if a couple of tracks have a slight Radioheadishness about them. Overall I really like it. There's some gorgeous moments on there but I'm worried they hindered themselves with the double album concept because it slightly feels as if they had to quickly throw more (shorter) songs in to boost the amount of tracks. Some of the shorter songs are amongst my favourites in terms of sound but nearly all of them feel too short sadly and I think this is what's bogging the album down for me. The album almost feels like it's drowned by the shorter tracks, making it seem less cohesive as they dip in and out styles/genres without giving you much time to appreciate that sound and it thins out the feel of the rest of the album. I just feel the album would benefit from some of the shorter songs being longer and then the rest of the short ones being reduced to interludes or perhaps even removed entirely (maybe WOTW nd the chimes interlude) . Otherwise, I think there's a distinct sound running through that really pulls the album together, making it cohesive, it's just that some of the songs feel distracting. I was certainly impressed, just not sure how I view it as a whole. That being said, I'm about to start my second listen and I hope to be swept away with the feel of the album a little more this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberrytom Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Also, I know a lot of people here really dislike AHFOD but while I know it's not their best work, I'm always so shocked by the amount of hate it gets. I have such positive memories of that era 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
United Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Concerts of AHFOD era were great but it's still my least favorite Coldplay album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Concerts of AHFOD era were great but it's still my least favorite Coldplay album. They were big concerts but I don’t think they were any improvement over the MX era ones. The were more or less the same with a far worse set list. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
United Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 MX is a much better album than AHFOD. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskapist Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I'll write a complete review after its official release but this is the Coldplay who reminds you to be a good person. This is the Coldplay who allows you to be an adult with a child's soul. This is the Coldplay we all love because they don't divide, they don't condemn. This is the same Chris Martin who told us 20 years ago that we live in a beautiful world, yeah we do, yeah we do. Thank you. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jordanator Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 There’s no songs like ASFOS or Princess of China so I’ll think you’ll be disappointed :joy: Hey don’t judge me my favourite song is actually GPASUYF and then Talk in second place! I’m an all rounder so my approach is the get-what-you’re-given-and-don’t-complain when it comes to Coldplay releases 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Church is straight from AHFOD, its one of my least favorites on this album. Yup, same. Also the lyrics are a bit cringey - from what I heard: I worship in your church, babe All day I worship in your church All seven days I praise and praise :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think probably because it was produced by you know who... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
