What do you think about Violet Hill?

Lore · 29-04-2008, 12:30 PM

that's the question

Marisa · 29-04-2008, 12:33 PM

i love love the loudness. but I thought that chris was going to have a lower tone and I didnt quite hear that. Maybe its on the other tracks.

Will's drumming sounds damn good. I can see me jumping around to it ontour.

alyssa · 29-04-2008, 12:36 PM

I definitely have to give it a few more listens, but I looove the strong quarter note beat.

Have they done that before? I can't recall...

Jayzo · 29-04-2008, 12:41 PM

Absolutely love it!

Cool_Citrus · 29-04-2008, 12:42 PM

its pretty good

TracieMorgan · 29-04-2008, 12:46 PM

IS anyone else needing multiple reloads of pages to get on here and post? This place has truly gone mad!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Now, to the question: I'm not ready to say it's their best song, but I absolutely love it!!

If this is any indication of the album, it has all the depth of some of the greatest albums ever recorded. Records like Supertramp's Crime Of The Century and The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead are coming to mind.

And clearly, Chris has been putting more thought into his lyrics.

And the piano breakdown at the end makes the whole song for me. It's the perfect contrast for their heavier sound.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!

This is their best song since Amsterdam...
I love the piano bit at the end, Chris' voice has this really softly emotive voice there, I think...
I can't wait for Viva La Vida, but I wish they'd given out A Spell A Rebel Yell with this, coz I want more of this fantastic stuff...

And cavenow, I had that problem too...
Look at your email link, there might be numbers or parts of the code that didn't get included in the hyperlink, then just add them to the end of your link...
Hope that helps!
