Mylo Xyloto - It's no Life In Technicolor.... 7/10 Hurts Like Heaven - Loved this live and had higher expectations for the studio version. Its still a good opener, just has room for improvement. 8/10! Paradise - Though it is better in the context of the album, I will never love it. Their worst single release since The Hardest Part. 5/10 Charlie Brown - Good pop tune.... Good pop tunes should be introduced as a studio single before being un-leashed as a live BEAST!!! 8.5/10 Us Against the World - Could have been on AROBTH or Parachutes. Classic ColdPLAY and I love it... - 8/10 M.M.I.X. - Just an extension of ETIAW, or intro if you will. No rating. Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall - I couldn't say this at first, because no song has ever grown on me more, but Fuck the haters! This song is fun and meant to get the people pumping their fists! Not whining for another FIX YOU! - 9/10 Major Minus - I love everything about this song. ESPECIALLY the stuff most people hate. I think it is my favorite on it, so far. It's loud, I can hear everything on it including Chris' whacked out, spacey, messed up vocals. I LOVE IT! Each listen it gets better and better 10/10 U.F.O. - See Us Against The World, but even better! Could have even been longer... 9/10 Princess of China - I like Rihanna and her music, but this is a Coldplay album... It's like a Rihanna song featuring Coldplay and not a good one. - 5/10 Up in Flames - Slightly repetitive, somewhat listenable. A little too moody for me right now and I could do with out the boom bah boom beat... Love the guitar work towards the end. - 7/10 A Hopeful Transmission - Fun little intro to DLIBYH, but these are sort of like the songs themselves... Not sure why they needed these... Don't Let It Break Your Heart - I like this. A LOT! It has an urgency and a pulse that far exceeds any other song on the album. Wish they would have released this as the first single. Instantly enjoyable and hope it remains so... 9.5/10 If it stays as shiny and endures it will be a 10 Up with the Birds - The Last two songs are so strong! This is a great tune that should please all fans, new and old. BRILLIANT! 10/10 Overall first impression: Strong and fun with a ton of energy. Compared to the others, unfortunately it's not as good on the first listens, for me. VLV, Parachutes, and AROBTTH were instant classics. Much more enjoyable on first listens than X&Y was... It is as good as I was expecting, but didnt exceed my hopes. Coldplay will always be my favorite band, I suppose. This just isn't their best. Nor is it their worst... 7.5 of 10 over all. Maybe an 8. I pre-ordered! EDIT: There is NO REASON why Moving To Mars isnt on this album! It is more than worthy...

Even though you and I do not always see eye to eye, I have always enjoyed your opinions on music. I joined here several months before VLV leaked and lurked for a couple years before that. Always find your insight interesting.... Just had my first listen and like you my excitement always gets the best of me and I want to say everything is a 10!!! However, Paradise and POC killed much of that for me. On my 2nd listen now. Parachutes, AROBTTH and VLV were so instant for me.... Just blew me away on the first listens. X&Y took forever to grow and not all of the songs ever did. Parachutes does work much better in context. I wish Id never heard some of these songs live first.... That does not include MM. I like the studio version as much if not better than the live version. Anyways... My two cents there. Always fun to see what you have to say...

Good for you! Been doing the same and just got through the first listen... UP WITH THE BIRDS!!!!! WOW!

Thank you so much for the link. Listening for the first time now...

Can't stand being at work now. Could someone pm the album to me please. Thanks in advance.

OMG! I should call in late!! LOL, not...

got to get ready for work. I got a feeling about a leak today! Maybe when I get home you all will have heard it! Have a great day, all!

Nice find! Just a matter of time now!!!

:D

New leak watch, twitter ticker at the top of the page is cute.

My first listen this morning. First impression is that it sounds like a Rhianna song featuring Chris Martin... NOT COLDPLAY. Having said that, Rhianna is a pop artist that I do not hate, but the song isn't one of her best either. If I rated it now it would be a 5. Worse than Paradise. Will listen a few more times and maybe like it better, but I doubt it.

LOL. I know. Right? The POC trolling is getting a little old though...

People PLEASE post questions about POC in the POC thread!

Thinking someone that cares should make a thread in the POC thread and discuss when/where the POC itunes thing will happen....

:laugh3:

:laugh3:

:laugh3:

LOL... Uh, the poll at the top of this thread??? I dont know just a guess. LOL

:laugh3:

cool!

But there is nothing wrong with pm-ing it. Right?

That's what I was thinking!!:D

What!? Karma!!!

I still cringe at their comparison of Paradise to Yellow!!! ???
