Rate 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' now! - Page 4

They are really going into another direction, aren't they? Well, looks like bye bye to their previous style then.

The guitar part is pretty good, and I like it when the drums come in. In fact, after listening to the song a couple of times (and it's not that many), I like the catchiness of the song. The song sounds nothing like it's name.
The part about the song that I didn't like is the vocal lines. When Chris starts singing 'I turn the music up', I didn't like it. And 'wa wa wa wa waterfall'... Well, I can see how radio-listeners would love this song.

I prefer their older songs, of course. When the song was over and Don't Panic came up next in my iTunes, gotta say, I miss the music they used to write. Don't think they will ever revert back though.

Even if you hate the song, that's an absurd notion--as though they wouldn't be famous and rich if they released ten tracks of morse code sounds. They're at a point in their careers where they can do whatever they want and sell it. This is the music they want to make now. Like it or not. Only on this forum could a band with a first hit like Yellow sell-out.

YES! Phill officially confirmed new songs being played tonight!!! Please someone film allll the new songs they play!!! And give us a setlist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noémie · 03-06-2011, 01:31 PM

I don't know what to think of the new song.
I keep listening to it.
The more I listen to it the less I know how to feel about it.
It's a cheerful song, for sure. But it ONLY sounds like a cheerful song.

Where's all the creativity and originality? Where's the SPARK? Where's the RISK? Where's the DIFFERENCE?
All those things that made me fall in love with them 10 years ago, all those things that made me love them for 10 years. I'm not sure those things are here anymore... Probably not in ETIAW anyway.

I guess we'll have to wait for the new album. Maybe I'll love it

I sure hope so!

Check the Live forum. The festival will be streamed online.

I've listened to it a few more times and I'm quite disappointed now that the excitement of a new song has worn off. Listen to ETIAW and then listen to any song from Parachutes or AROBTHH. They've definitely gone backwards in terms of quality and originality. They've played it safe with this. It's very radio friendly and it sounds like EMI and Brian Eno wrote it rather than Coldplay. It doesn't bode well for the new album.

Absurd is recording song to catch younger audience. That's what I call absurd. I'm not a hater, even in the weak album it should be at least couple of good songs, or on EP/b-sides/whatever.

But you know, in the end, after a weak LP we could expect another great album.

Er, ok. For what it's worth, Viva La Vida is my favorite Coldplay album, and I think this would've been one of the weakest tracks on it.

DieProspekt · 03-06-2011, 01:46 PM

I'm very pleased. 10/10. Cause I got what I was really hoping for... A COLDPLAY SONG YOU CAN REALLY DANCE TO!!!

And this will get Coldplay some younger fans...

But I totally get why some Coldplay fans won't like it... And I urge them not to lose faith in LP5- cause I think the other songs will be different. LP5 won't be all- hype: Coldplay did say some songs will be minimalistic...

I gave it a 4 on first impressions. Not so good. Perhaps it'll grow, or at least make sense in the context of an album.
