Sunrise

WOTW/POTP It had a lot of potential, but it's VERY short and it doesn't have the quality of Parachutes.

WOTW/POTP

[spoiler=Review of "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!&quot] This is my review of the mixtape I've been given. I've tried to keep up with @The Jordanator's review style! Orchestral instrumentals are the main theme of the mixtape. This gives the feeling of a fairytale-like journey. I would point out that tracks 7 and 8 don't really fit in with the others and that's why I don't give any bonus points. I was impressed though by the creative way you chose the tracks' titles!

ΗΙΝΤ #2: A natural satellite is named after the fourth word

Same for me hahahaha

HINT: The fourth word is used in English for complex words

Δε θέλω να φοβόμαστε αυτά που δεν ξέρουμε De thélo na fovómaste aftá pou den xéroume.

Definitely, the unreleased song from the early MX accoustic sessions. It has references to a wedding. It sounds a bit like Wedding Bells and Lukas.

WHAT? Did he say that in the interview?

Parachutes: Trouble AROBTTH: Clocks X&Y: Square One VLVODAAHF: Yes MX: MX/Hurts Like Heaven Ghost Stories: Oceans AHFOD: Birds Everyday Life: Arabesque

Wow! I wish I was in London with some other Coldplay fans!!! Have a good time!

I guess "voorzichtig" is careful like "vorsichtig" in German. Be careful where you stand?

Welcome!!!

That was awesome!!! I got goosebumps with the ending of Arabesque!

Very good question! This will solve some of the mystery! Thank you :blush:

It would be weird to call God "baby". I think what he tries to say is that when he's hurt, no church can heal him like his significant other. He feels like his lover is his "church".

I've listened to the album quite a lot of times. :rolleyes: Songs that I didn't like that much at first (BrokEn/Eko) have grown on me. Now, I can say that EL surpassed X&Y in my ranking! 1. VLVODAAHF 2. AROBTTH 3. Parachutes 4. EL 5. X&Y 6. MX 7. GS 8.AHFOD

And I was trying to think what the drums remind me! You made Church much better for me!

Like EVERYONE who listened to it!

Sunrise It is really good! A unique opener to a unique album. Church Those drums!!! One of the best on the album. I don't like a lot the production on vocals. Trouble In Town I adore it! The first half sounds like For You and E-lo had a baby. I think the snippets ruin the song... BrokEn Weird and something Coldplay wouldn't put out in any way. A good filler. Only Chris, the choir and a simple drum beat in this one. Daddy The melody reminds me Famous Old Painters. The lyrics are VERY simple, but I don't mind. Very emotional and Viva-esque. Vocals remind me Prospekt's March. The xylophone is a well-suited addition to the song and sounds a bit like No Surprises. WOTW/POTP Just a demo of a seemingly forgetable tune. :( Arabesque The best f*cking song on the album PERIOD. When I Need A Friend VERY weird! I think it is a good experimental filler nothing more... Again only Chris and a choir. The snippet in the end seems to me random AF. I like the rain sounds and the bells Guns One of my favourites! Raw, real and energetic chorus. The accoustic guitar shines Orphans "Feel Good Indie Pop" done right. Good production, exploding chorus, sophisticated verses. Powerful message. Eko Simple lyrics, quiet and accoustic. Nothing exceptional though. Cry Cry Cry I know a lot of you won't like this one. I need to listen to it a few more times, but listening to it a couple of times I love it. I like this kind of lo-fi jazzy songs and Coldplay did it the right way. Old Friends Similar to Eko, accoustic. Again only Chris. Bani Adam Kaleidoscope is that you? :joy: The piano interlude is very similar to Kaleidoscope, but longer and more complex. I can't wait to learn playing it on piano! The second half is very interesting instrumentally. Again the poem and the snippets shout I'm Kaleidoscope 2.0! Champion Of The World My second favourite after Arabesque. It is much more memorable than any other song on the album, except maybe Orphans. Oldplay for sure, the chorus reminds me a bit Christmas Lights. And the first time you can hear electric guitar after Orphans. :( Everyday Life It sums up the album very well. One of the best on the album. I wish it had more of Jonny. Overall The music and the production are a BIG relief after AHFOD. Chris's vocals are very prominent and most the songs seem well-thought and experimental. I may say that it is as experimental as VLV, but definitely not their "Kid A", this is still Coldplay. I need to listen to it a few more times, but I think it's safe to say it's their best work of this decade. I think that snippets ruin the experience. I wouldn't mind for one or two, but this album has a ton of them... Then, I think one of the pros of AHFOD was that all members had their part in all of the songs. A lot of the songs on EL sound like Chris going solo with the help of all these collaborators. At least it's a good sign that, in this period in music history, they don't have any major collaborator in any of the songs. Will has some prominent vocal moments in the album, drums are a bit soft and minimal. Jonny and Guy are restrained in most of the songs, but their contribution is astonishing!
