October 21, 201113 yr I've spent £50 on the pop-up version so feel I'm justified in not waiting :P As much as I love the 'Paradise' video, the live version just ruins the whole effect for me :(
October 22, 201113 yr Dammit, I just decided I wanted to cave in and listen to POC but they've gone and removed it from SoundCloud :( I listened to a version of it on YouTube but according to the comments it isn't the real version. Sigh.
October 24, 201113 yr Two hours until it comes out on US iTunes, I'll listen but I plan on buying the deluxe cd pack at Target tomorrow (it comes with a T-Shirt :D )
October 24, 201113 yr This album is pretty much fantastic the whole way through :wub: I would say 'U.F.O.' is quite weak in comparison with the rest though. Rate based on first listen (I'll leave out Mylo Xyloto, M.M.I.X. and A Hopeful Transmission since they're not really 'songs'): 10.0 Hurts Like Heaven 11.0 Paradise 9.1 Charlie Brown 9.3 Us Against The World 10.0 Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 10.0 Major Minus 8.0 U.F.O. 9.8 Princess Of China (feat. Rihanna) 9.0 Up In Flames 9.5 Don't Let It Break Your Heart 9.0 Up With The Birds [/loon] 'Moving To Mars' is a 7.0. Sounds like a leftover from VLVODAAHF. Edited October 24, 201113 yr by Bré
October 24, 201113 yr That makes my Born This Way rate seem rational :lol: Link? :P (I sort of wish my rates were loon-fuelled exaggerations but they really aren't! My rate for No More Idols by Chase & Status, arguably an act I loon for even more, was far less generous) Edited October 24, 201113 yr by Bré
October 24, 201113 yr Link? :P (I sort of wish my rates were loon-fuelled exaggerations but they really aren't! My rate for No More Idols by Chase & Status, arguably an act I loon for even more, was far less generous) It's something like: 10 Marry The Night 10 Born This Way 09.5 Government Hooker 11 Judas 09 Americano 09 Hair 10 Scheisse 10 Bloody Mary 08 Black Jesus † Amen Fashion 09.5 Bad Kids 08.5 Fashion Of His Love 08 Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) 10 Heavy Metal Lover 07.5 Electric Chapel 07 The Queen 09.5 You & I 10 The Edge Of Glory :P Still very loony. I see what you mean though, I think I'm just over generous, it's not because I loon Lady Gaga (well it kind of is) :lol: Just to stay mildly on topic, I still haven't had time to listen to the leak so I'll just wait until I pick up my copy tomorrow :P

Yours wasn't *that* much more rational (especially since BTW is a longer album so has more 'filler' space anyway) :lol: And if you take out FOHL, TQ and BJ†AF (which are only on the deluxe edition) your average rate increases to exactly 9.5 which is pretty much on par with my Mylo Xyloto rate :P Scraping the barrel a bit to try and save my dignity here, I know :drama: Edited October 24, 201113 yr by Bré
October 25, 201113 yr my copy came today :D ratings on first listen: 8/10 Hurts Like Heaven 10/10 Paradise 9/10 Charlie Brown 8/10 Us Against The World 10/10 Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 9/10 Major Minus 7/10 U.F.O. 8/10 Princess Of China (feat. Rihanna) 8/10 Up In Flames 8/10 Don't Let It Break Your Heart 8/10 Up With The Birds I seem to be a bit of a FLOP LOON compared to Bré :( this album is still fantastic, I found it largely consistent and it always kept me interested, certainly nothing here worthy of less than a 7 I'm still not entirely sold on Princess of China yet, but its definitely growing and it didn't disappoint, fantastic album :wub:
October 26, 201113 yr -- Mylo Xyloto 08 Hurts Like Heaven 07 Paradise 07 Charlie Brown 06 Us Against The World -- MMIX 09 Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall 06 Major Minus 05 UFO 05 Princess Of China 03 Up In Flames -- A Hopeful Transmission 07 Don't Let It Break Your Heart 06 Up With The Birds Tolerable.
October 26, 201113 yr I have to say upon first listens the two excellent singles have set me up for a big disappointment for this, I certainly can't see it ever growing on me to the length their previous album did and possibly not even their other three, and the song with Rihanna is incredibly overrated. It's as dull and run of the mill as anything they've ever made before, I really don't get it?
October 26, 201113 yr Me neither, the song with Rihanna is one of the worst on the album, both in tune and lyric. I do think however that it will easily be my second favourite album of theirs.
November 3, 201113 yr Yeah, pretty much agreed that "Princess of China" is a bit meh - heard it on the chart show on Sunday and was underwhelmed. "Hurts Like Heaven" is the obvious single IMO - although Landon Austin has done a shite cover of it (up on iTunes now) which kinda ruins it. Landon Austin (for those that are thankfully ignorant of his existence) is rather like Birdy except even more shit/annoying.
December 12, 201113 yr Huge letdown from Coldplay with this. Pretty much an average album with a few exceptions (Charlie Brown, Paradise and Hurts Like Heaven) and by far their worst album. I find it so hard to even remember most of the tracks. Probably they will release Princess of China next to sell the album to a wider audience, a good strategy nonetheless.
February 5, 201213 yr it´s a good song, not their best, not my favourite in the album, but good, and better, in my opinion, than paradise. I have a question about paradise and the MX album that I have already posted in other forum.When you preordered MX Paradise didn´t count as a single, in the UK:but in the US?
