Do you guys remember that the GS hype thread crashed and completely disappeared sometime after the album came out? Enjoy reading these posts while you can, they won't be around for long! :P

I wonder why some people who voted in previous rounds have not come back.... There's only 5 or so dedicated players!

Songs that have not yet received votes: Don't Panic Sparks Trouble Life Is for Living Brothers and Sisters Only Superstition See You Soon Help Is Round the Corner Quite the odd list isn't it!

ROUND OVER [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]High Speed[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]For You[/td] [td]2[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Bigger Stronger[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Careful Where You Stand[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Yellow[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] High Speed and For You are kicked off the island. The survivors: Don't Panic Spies Sparks Yellow Trouble Everything's Not Lost Life Is for Living Bigger Stronger Brothers and Sisters Easy to Please Only Superstition See You Soon Careful Where You Stand Help Is Round the Corner Yet another double elimination and you know what I'm voting for! Careful Where You Stand.

Round will end in approximately one hour, keep those votes coming in!! Only 5 people have voted so far!

Ha ha, the similarity to Grace is undeniable! Yup, it doesn't have the textures of most of the other songs on the album. I heard a rumor that they recorded a more atmospheric version for The Blue Room (think in the same vein as Don't Panic on TBR, the more upbeat Spies, and the instrumental We Never Change). Hopefully it exists and we'll get to hear it one day! :)

May I inquire why people think Shiver is so bad? It's a great song with great lyrics and a great riff!! Doesn't the "it's you I see, but you don't see me..." part give you goosebumps? :P

That's it! The round is over folks!!

D: Dafuq people. At this rate you'll be eliminating Yellow next!! What still remains: Don't Panic Spies Sparks Yellow Trouble High Speed Everything's Not Lost Life Is for Living Bigger Stronger Brothers and Sisters Easy to Please Only Superstition See You Soon For You Careful Where You Stand Help Is Round the Corner Double elimination again and I again vote for Careful Where You Stand. Is this some fan favorite or something? I'm surprised no one else has voted for it!

The fate of Such a Rush has been secured and it will be eliminated this round. Only one more vote and then I'll end the round.

I'm gonna start wrapping up this round now because I have a busy day tomorrow and won't be able to end the round on time. Since Shiver, Such a Rush and High Speed are all tied for first place with 2 votes, voting is now restricted to those 3, and after the next 2 votes, the round will end. You can vote even if you've already voted this round.

Before your head explodes? :P Btw it seems like we have an unusual situation. It appears that we have 3 songs all tied for first place! So keep those votes coming in! :)

Bit late to the party but I couldn't resist posting this song after reading your post:[video=youtube;v03BtEzQMxw] Hopefully AHFOD will feature songs like this! P.s. that was a great post! :)

I understand. Coldplay has so many good songs I can't rate the majority of them, but I'm thinking of this game as "if someone pointed a gun at my head and asked me which one I'd like to eliminate" lol. But it's alright, sometimes it's best just to sit back and watch the show! :)

They were stupid enough to elect him once, and only once!! ;)

Fuck democracy. Democracy elected George W. Bush. :P

If you think it's hard to choose now then wait until we get to AROBTTH!! :P By the way, I have no idea why people are voting for Shiver. Shiver deserves to win, or at least get into the top 3! It would be such a travesty for it to be eliminated so early on. :(

And with that vote, that's the end of the round!

It's starting to get more interesting now and once again I vote for Careful Where You Stand.

If you think about it, it appears to be so! 1. UIF has a stripped-back production and arrangement, which is characteristic of nearly all songs on GS 2. UIF is led by electronic drums, a first in Coldplay songs. Many songs on GS also use electronic drums. 3. The lyrics of UIF can be interpreted to be a narrator's reflection right after a breakup ("So it's over....") 4. UIF was the last song to be recorded for MX. So what do you guys think?

Round is wrapping up folks! No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground, at 3 votes, will be eliminated this round. and what a travesty too. by far the best song on the safety ep! *sniff* However, it appears that High Speed and We Never Change are tied for second place, both with 2 votes. Since we can only eliminate 2 songs this round, the next person to cast a vote for either of these two (even if you've already voted this round) will decide which of the two will be eliminated and end the round. please don't kill high speed!

I'm amazed that the votes are all over the place this round! Looks like there is no consensus on what is the worst track from this era! :P

Ha ha, I see your point! We could do a double elimination until we have 5 songs left! Because at that point we wouldn't want too many of the popular tracks going out so quickly, that is probably the best idea. So two songs will go out this round! :) I was planning on combining VLVODAAHF and Prospekt's March, along with the b-sides from that era, but what do you guys think? And I don't see a point in doing the live albums, but if everyone wants to do it, then we definitely can! Btw I'm also planning on doing a best of the best elimination from every studio album. :)

The other way I could speed things up is to eliminate the second most voted song as well as the first. But only if people want things to go faster. We need more voters!! :(

Ha ha, if only more people voted!! Then we could move on more quickly!! :P But I am actually intentionally dragging this out, these should last at least until AHFOD comes out!! :P If people want things to move faster I could end the rounds early if there is a clear winner....otherwise we should probably wait until 24 hours are up.

Btw the round will end approximately 24 hours after my last post (so in about 23 hours).
