Anyone else tired of Moving to Mars?

[dcmarlow]

Out of all of the songs released from the LP5/Mylo Xyloto era, this one has been the worst so far. Definitely doesn't fit on the album.

[juanif94]

It's not on the album, and it's the best of this era :nod:

[Mrguidogenio]

So true. +1

[dcmarlow]

It's not on the album, and it's the best of this era :nod:

Sorry, I was referring to all of the people that said it should've been on the album over Princess of China or whatever. Princess of China is clearly better.

[LauCH]

:stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned:
No. No. And No. Musicalement parlant, Moting To Mars is WAY better. Wow.

[Mrguidogenio]

Wait what? How is a heavy synth-pop Coldplay song better than a piano ballad very Coldplayish with a guitar solo at the end?

[Brent]

I'm not tired of it.

I'm just tired of people complaining it's not on the album.

[dcmarlow]

When I hear people on the forum say how unimaginative ETIAW is and how easily anyone of them could've written that song, I think of MTM.

I also hate how Chris can almost hardly sing the intro...

[OnlookerDelay]

Princess of China is clearly better.

Seriously!? Princess of China doesn't even sound like a Coldplay song :stunned: I think POC would have been a better choice for a single... that way, people who want to hear Coldplay dabble in synth-pop as "featured artists' could have done so on their own dime, without compromising an otherwise mostly solid album with an experiment.

U mad bro?

[dcmarlow]

Sorry, just stating my opinion. That's what music forums are all about.

It's a pretty bland song.

[vanessarrent]

I'm not tired of Moving to Mars :\ I love this song.

[JJB]

I'm not tired of it.

I'm just tired of people complaining it's not on the album.

Same here. Great song, but the boys chose not to include it for a reason. And tbh, I quite likePoC too. So I think I'd go with their decision to pick certain other songs over MTM. Would you much rather DLIBYH was left off, or UWTB? I certainly wouldn't. :shocked2:

[Harondor]

MTM is awesome and one of the best songs of this era !

[flyingdelorean]

I actually wrote a music review of Mylo Xyloto for the Harvard Political Review!

Please check it out if you have the time!

(And "like" it - the more support the article gets, the more likely we'll have similar articles!) Thanks!

[dcmarlow]

I agree in the fact that it's not an awful song. I'm just really tired of hearing the forum rave about it when it's just not the best thing they've ever done.

[shred]

I'm not tired of it.

^ This.

People should be glad they are able to hear it! :dozey:

Though personally, I'm glad it's not on the album. Unless of course, it were to replace Up in Flames.

[QuestionsOfScience]

Yes to this post!!! I never got it with Moving To Mars. It's really the one song from this era that does nothing for me. It comes across as almost bland.
And I don't think it would have fit that well on the album, I don't see it. I don't understand the constant hype about people wishing it was on the album.

[shred]

Haha yeah, me too. I think it's a bit overrated. :P

[Strawberry Swinger]

Sorry, I was referring to all of the people that said it should've been on the album over Princess of China or whatever. Princess of China is clearly better.

well it's just opinions, smartass.

to me, Moving to Mars is their best song since Viva La Vida. Better than all of Mylo Xyloto. See?


and WTF? anyone could have written it? Umm...sure...

[TecHniCoLoR_MX]

Wait what? How is a heavy synth-pop Coldplay song better than a piano ballad very Coldplayish with a guitar solo at the end?

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions.

[Prospector]

Moving To Mars is as good as any track on the album, it's just not there cause it wouldn't fit.

[misty24]

It's not on the album, and it's the best of this era

agree 100%

[Phoebeo]

Are you kidding me? MTM is one of Coldplay's best songs.

This :nod::nod:

[m@r@]

Nooo, not tired at all, it's an amazing song !!!!

[James.]

Moving to Mars is a Coldplay B-Side. Coldplay B-Sides are always better than at least some songs on each album. My opinion is that I love MTM and I couldn't care less that it's not on the album, because it's a B-Side and it belongs as a B-Side. I can't really explain it any more than that, but if you hate the song then that's fine because that's your own opinion. As for getting tired of it, just don't listen to it. Problem solved. :nod:

[Coeurli]

^:nod: AND, since it's a b-side, if you don't like it you can still listen to the whole album :nod:

I'm sooo in love with that song personally :awesome:

[Nikola]

I've put it there and I listen to it with the rest of the album. Try it, it fits perfectly. :nod:

^I agree that would have been the right spot :nod::nod:
They wanted to make a 45 minutes album, so it became a b-side :( 2 too many minutes of awesomeness I guess :(

[Ennosuke]

It is not the best of this era, but it is in many ways superior to PoC.

[Strawberry Swinger]

This thread is still open? MTM is a masterpiece!

[randorolian]

Moving To Mars should've been on Mylo Xyloto. Either replacing Up In Flames or PoC :/

[86Timewarp]

My pet peeve is why did MX have all these "transitions?" MX into HLH is exceptiable, MMIX is ok....freaking UFO has a transition within the song itself! If they would've cut back on these minor unnessisary things, MtM mightve made it...but something tells me that this might be leading to an EP with MtM being on the track listing...ex: MAjor Munis and Moving to Mars were both b-sides to MX, but Major Minus made it to the track listing.

[SupermassiveCPnerd]

This thread is still open? MTM is a masterpiece!

Yes, yes it is. :D And if people are "tired" of it...why can't they just chill and listen to something else?? :thinking:

[Strawberry Swinger]

Exactly ;)

Is that Radiohead's amnesiac you got there? Got I Might Be Wrong stuck in my head since I woke up. :)

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking its spot on the album would be. Considering Teardrop, Minus and Mars are the exact same order here as on the Teardrop Single (Or EP, because it is technically an EP). Still Can't believe Minus survived being a B-Side and not Mars! Although you pretty much HAD to put Minus on there simply because the awesome levels are higher on Minus.

[James.]

'Tired of Moving to Mars' suggests that the song is overplayed in some way. But it's a B-Side, it's only been played live once and probably never been played on the radio. So how can you possibly be tired of it unless you have deliberately listened to it over and over again until you're tired of it. Which would be your own fault :P

[Cyan Kat]

Moving To Mars is ok.
better than all of MX, but far from brilliant.

what song to you is brilliant on MX,just curious?

This LOL.

I think none of them, by the transitive property. :p

Also, listening to an audience recording of MTM...you can really hear Jonny's guitar (look it up on youtube, 1st result)....it's SO intricate and beautiful that you don't hear as clearly on the studio or even the TV versions.

:shocked2: I swear I've never ever heard this riff before, and I listened to it a couple of times.

[X&YBestColdplaySongXD]

What! that song is awesome, i so disagree! -__________-

[Rainystrawberry]

That song is amazing, it inspired me to continue my piano lessons so that I can play it

[gotoneeyewatchingyou]

good to you. that song inspired me to take a piano lesson

[Keronte]

i love playing it on the piano and singing, my range is biaritono like chris so i can sing the intro perfectly.
Its a great song but it dont fit on MX story and chemistry, of course its just my point of view

[RazorEye]

Moving To Mars is one of the greatest songs of this generation of music, IMO

[Linus]

Out of all of the songs released from the LP5/Mylo Xyloto era, this one has been the worst so far. Definitely doesn't fit on the album.

i guess you'll never be Moving to Mars then :p
