So Flags... The bonus track for Everyday Life... I absolutely love this song. Creeping up to my top Coldplay songs. Just to clarify I am loving this new record. It's beautiful, heartbreaking, and full of life and love. On top of that they have something of Scott Hutchison on here which warms my heart. But I wish Flags was officially on this album. They could have found a spot. The whole world deserves to have it and I hope the band release it at some point. Meanwhile, Japan, please help the world out in the meantime. Hope everyone is enjoying Everyday Life and if you have heard Flags leave a comment and say what you think. Or talk about EL in general. Much love to all Coldplayers

So according to Wikipedia, Scott from Frightened Rabbit has a songwriting credit on Champion Of The World for Everyday Life. Wondering if any Coldplayers out there have any further information on this? As important as Scott was to me, this news shook my core a bit.

The melodies are great, but I can look back and see how production kinda screwed up a song. Chris's voice on HLH. Love listening to the live version, but I get bothered by the studio versions vocals on the verses. AND PARADISE! Love the live version, I had a problem with the studio version having the strings be most of the sound. Why not combine that with Chris on piano and Johnny on guitar when the song first starts?

The only thing I can say about MX is this. I heard live versions of the songs before the record came out and thought they were great. Especially HLH. But the record was really over-produced. I listen to Live 2012 more than the actual record. Also DLIBYH should be added to underrated. Something I hope Coldplay expands on on the new record.

Overrated Song: The Scientist. I know, everyone loves it and I do as well, but I feel like there is more, even from AROBTTH that could have received greater praise. Underrated Song: 42. This song I feel captures Coldplay at their best and most artistic. Everyone displays their part so well. Chris plays acoustic guitar and piano on this song. I feel like this captures their identity. Overrated Album: A Rush Of Blood To The Head. Great album don't get me wrong I just believe it wasn't them on it. Before Viva, I kept waiting for them to make their experimental record and then they did and that record captures their identity. But we will see with AHFOD. Underrated album: Ghost Stories. This record took me a while to grow. But I learned its an album I can only listen to at night time and I have used it for sleeping. Its a cool direction they took and say what you will about Chris lyrically, but it has been the most direct I think lyric-wise.
