i think i'd say 42, but if that's supposed to be somewhat heavy like VH is, then i kind of want some song that's supposed to be a bit more personal and ballady. but those don't make great leading singles most of the time, so 42 it is, i guess.

does anybody else think the very end piano bit of "violet hill" sounds shockingly like the killers "enterlude" and "exitlude" off sam's town? it creeped me out on first listen, even.

brilliant! :dance: thank you for working this out! i had a lot of that in my head, but you all answered my questions and discrepancies so far! i have to say that i LOVE the political, apocalyptic vibe. LOOOOVE it :D

ok, when i was trying to post here in the "great violet hill explosion of 4/29/08," there was so much webtraffic that i don't think it went through. so here i go. when i first listened to it on radio 1, i was a bit surprised. i was expecting something different, something less X&Y-ish. that's not to say that i didn't like it or anything...it just threw me off a bit. so i waited until jo whiley played it again, and then i listened to the recording of the radio show (i only JUST managed to get it from the site after classes!) and popped it on my ipod before breakfast. but while i was walking to class etc, i fell way more in love with it. i probably looked like an idiot, walking around campus with such a huge grin on my face, but i couldn't help but think "I'M LISTENING TO THE NEW COLDPLAY SINGLE, AND NO ONE ELSE ON CAMPUS IS!!" but i think its an absolutely brilliant song, a really great effort. i was just hoping for more of an AROBTTH or parachutes sound than X&Y, but i can't make judgement on that until i hear the entire album, can i? so besides the fact that i was hoping for more simple, back-to-basics, paired-down music...i think violet hill is a great piece of work. i've already racked up 10 listens in 5 hours. that's damn good for spending most of that time in class! :D i haven't read through all the posts yet, but anyone else think the lyrics are REALLY political?! :dance:

this board is waaaay too crowded to even post!
