Track Skipping.

craigweb · 15-06-2008, 03:46 PM

I know you're probably gonna all testify that you absolutely love Coldplay and don't skip any of the tracks on Viva la Vida (I didn't at first), but after 2 weeks of listening now, theres 1 track (well 2) that I skip on the album in my 40 minute ride to work and it's Track 6 (Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant). I don't hate the track per-se, but if I play it, I don't get to hear 'Death and all his friends' (a track I prefer much more) before I actually arrive at work. So... my question is this: Any of you skipping through any of the tracks yet?

Also, heres my honest rating of the album (not A/A- for every track):

1. Life In Technicolor 9/10
2. Cemeteries Of London 8/10
3. Lost! 6/10
4. 42 9/10
5. Lovers In Japan/Reign Of Love 8/10 (would be a 10 without reign..)
6. Yes (5/10)
7. Viva La Vida (10/10)
8. Violet Hill (7/10)
9. Strawberry Swing (9/10)
10. Death And All His Friends (10/10.. great ending)

The only songs I would skip through are Reign of Love and The Escapist. However, I don't skip them normally because I'm hoping that I'll learn to love them more with more listens.

RedGirl76 · 15-06-2008, 06:24 PM

I'm not skipping through any.

I'm not wild about Reign of Love but it makes a nice change of pace halfway through the album.

And I love The Escapist... it ties the album up neatly.

Wouldn't like to make a definitive statement so early on... but this may turn out to be my favourite Coldplay album yet

chinese sleep chant most, reign of love sometimes. usually nothing else.

I don't skip a thing - all are great songs, and the album's short enough as it is!

If I want to listen to the album, I listen to it as it is - an album.

gmalool · 17-06-2008, 07:34 AM

skip yes, sometimes violet hill, and sometimes lit

No love for Reign of Love? It's in my top 3 at the minute

A beautiful song!

I often skip Viva La Vida and Violet Hill. Viva La Vida just gets a little cheesy for me in the chorus.

Life in Technicolor - 10/10
Cemeteries of London - 9/10
Lost! - 10/10
42 - 7/10
Lovers in Japan - 8/10
Reign of Love - 10/10
Yes - 8/10
Chinese Sleep Chant - 6/10
Viva La Vida - 7/10
Violet Hill - 7/10
Strawberry Swing - 10/10
Death and All His Friends - 10/10
The Escapist - 9/10

42 would get the full 10/10 if it were twice as long. It's too awesome to be only 4 minutes long and I feel like the song sells itself short as it is.

I skip 42 and violet hill..

I'm growing to like 42 more and more however, and I skip violet hill because I'm so sick of hearing it..

same is starting to happen with viva la vida, because I got the song in the iTunes pre-order I listened to it about 50 times before the albums release..

spoonman · 17-06-2008, 03:12 PM

I skip em all, this album SUCKS!!!!

majgirl · 18-06-2008, 06:55 PM

I'm skipping "death and all his friends", and "lovers in japan".

Death Hill · 19-06-2008, 03:22 AM

I don't skip any...as of now.

1. Life In Technicolor 9/10
2. Cemeteries Of London 10/10
3. Lost! 9/10
4. 42 9/10
5. Lovers In Japan/Reign Of Love 9/10 (Reign drags it down a bit)
6. Yes 8/10
7. Viva La Vida 8.5/10
8. Violet Hill 10/10
9. Strawberry Swing 10/10
10. Death And All His Friends 10/10
