I'm still a bit perplexed by the negativity towards VH. After hearing the whole set, I'd still rank it at 5 or 6.

I have that concern so I'm trying to not listen much until the 17th. There's no surprise waiting when the disc comes out but there is awesome quality when I put those headphones on.

It's definitely a pleasant enough tune, but forgettable is a good way to describe it.

Just wanted to express my love of X&Y, a song no one ever talked about. It's always been one of my top 3 off that album.

I'm all for respecting others' opinions, but this album surpassed X&Y on the first listen.

I can see how some people might prefer Lost? over the album version. I love the beat but the piano was really beautiful. Chinese and Cemeteries are both definite growers, but Reign of Love still leaves me a little bored. Not sure I would've put it on the album. Strawberry Swing rules all.

Voted for Strawberry.

I'll agree with the opinion that it doesn't have the emotional impact of AROBTTH.

Reign of Love does nothing for me. It's nice and all, but it just kind of sits there.

After three listens in order of favorites: Strawberry Yes 42 Lost Violet Viva Cemeteries DAAHF Lovers Chinese LiT Reign The Escapist And I'll say this: It's an instantly more enjoyable listen then X&Y which was bogged down by a few songs of filler.

Everybody's album leaks before hand. Be thankful that Coldplay is one of the few acts left in the world that can overcome it and still sell millions of records. I expect it to have a better first week then X&Y here in the U.S. which would be terrific. It could do close to a million first week which hasn't been done in three years.

They have.

The beginning is absolutely beautiful.

I definitely like it better on second listen.

I think it's on page 8 of the JT thread.

I'm not sure why we're so sure that the video verison of LIT isn't the final version. It's the exact same length as what's on the album. And it leads in perfectly to Cemeteries.

I thought the LIT link was put up about 20 minutes ago.

DAAHF

Oddly enough, this song is probably my least liked so far. I can't put my finger on it quite yet.

After the first hour, Strawberry Swing, Yes and 42 are my top 3. I'd really love to hear the whole album in its entirety before ranking all of them.

I love it. You just wanna clap along with it but being at work that'd be foolish.

One more song left: Lost!

I'm just glad the Grey's Anatomy debate is over. And the whole song is pretty good to boot.

I'm trying not to wear Strawberry Swing out. It's the only song I've listened to more than once (three times already).

I have an amazing disliking of Rapidshare. I really do.
