Coldplay or Oasis?
It's Liam Gallagher singing but yeah, I can't stand Oasis outside a couple of songs.

O (part 2)
I made myself an edit where it starts with the O hidden track and then transitions into this. It lasts about 3 minutes and it's utter bliss.

The leak discussion thread (eaten!)
The 2:23 is silence. I'm not losing sleep over 2:23 of silence.

A little too much overproducing eh coldplay ?
I'm curious to see what the overall consensus will be. I think it's widely agreed that GS is better than MX, but will it be seen as better than X&Y?

Target Version Leaked? (Read first post before posting)
I listened to Never Gonna Give You Up last night and realized... it's been 5 years since I last heard it. When he sung "never gonna make you cry" I did legitimately shed a tear.

Why are some of you so eager to rank this album?
It's odd for sure, but it's fair to assume MX is to blame for that.
-
Target Version Leaked? (Read first post before posting)
Apparently Target started shipping copies today. So it should be soon, hopefully.
-
Ghost Stories Target release
Schweet. Hopefully the bonus tracks will surface soon
-
Criticisms with the album?
I'm torn on this one. Four songs are fucking incredible (which is more than I can say for MX), four songs I'm indifferent towards and one I don't like at all. It's certainly an improvement over MX but it doesn't come close to the brilliance of the first two records or Viva.

The Wrong Answer Game!!!
Fall Out Boy? This truly is the wrong answer game [video=youtube_www;y2cQvZPX3OY]www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2cQvZPX3OY MX is about how awesome Death Grips are. What are the lyrics to Lost?

Production aint perfect but it's a trillion times better than MX. I feel like they've learnt their lesson on this one.

Rank the Ghost Stories songs!
FWIW I think the True Love solo is genius. One of the best parts of that song.
-
Oceans
The wedding bells in the outro break my heart
-
Ghost Stories Target release
I want more songs like Midnight and Oceans to replace the poppier songs in my GS playlist

Viva La Vida vs. Ghost Stories

O (part 2)
I really can't wait to hear this one
-
"O" is gonna be my favorite track!
The iTunes stream cuts out 2 minutes of silence. I think it's better that way. Both parts of this song are utterly beautiful.
-
Rank the Ghost Stories songs!
1. Oceans - Totally exceeded my expectations. Fucking brilliant in every single way. 5/5 2. O - Dissapointed that neither this or the hidden track are longer, but it's all beautiful. "Maybe one day I'll fly next to you" cut through me life a knife. 5/5 3. Midnight - Really fits in well with the rest of the album. It was an odd choice for a single, but I'm so glad it's here. 4.5/5 4. Always In My Head - I loved the live version like crazy. The studio version still needs to grow on me a bit, but it's an amazing song regardless of how it's recorded. 4.5/5 5. Another's Arms - I like it but don't love it. Lots of ingredients to make a great song in here but for some reason it never fully clicks. 4/5 6. True Love - If this was just voice and orchestra it would shoot right near the top of my list. But that fucking Timbaland beat ruins it for me. Which is a shame as it could've been the best song on here. 3.5/5 7. Magic - Great production, great bassline, and it's catchy. But like Another's Arms, there's an indefinable something standing in the way of making it great. 3.5/5 8. Ink - Dunno how to feel about this one. The beat is awful and the melodies are right out of the FM top 40 charts. It could've easily have been an overblown MX anthem, but the subtle production saves it. All in all, I kinda like it. 3/5 9. A Sky Full Of Stars - Ugh. 2/5
