Paradise and ETIAW were WAY better than this song.

I will skip it if the bass is this loud on the album because my eardrums are dead after 10 replays.
I listen to Coldplay with the volume turned to the MAX and the bass is unbearable.

Paradise >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Princess Of China

I preferred it as just Chris but Rihanna doesn't sound too bad.... cause she doesn't really sound like Rihanna, so it works better than I thought!
Quite enjoyable but Rihanna overruns the song, it would of been better with more Chris, considering its Coldplay's song afterall!
7.5/10 for me but I am sure we will see this near the top of the charts!

Now I have heard this song several times - and I really love it.

HOLY FUCK!!! As much as i wanted to hate this song, this is fucking amazing!!!!!!! oh my god!!!!

Ravenor · 17-10-2011, 01:56 AM

I expected many things from this song.. but not this !

pros :
- experimental sounds
- not as mainstream as I'd envisioned (which is really good

)
- Rihanna parts are quite enjoable

cons :
- ... lalalalalalala ( first paradise, now this ... plz coldplay let it be the last "such" song)
- lacks energy or epicness .. lol

Quite a good song

.. but give us hurts like heaven already

I agree, lack of epicness.
But superstars collabs usually lack some punch.

dominic spez · 17-10-2011, 02:15 AM

are you guys joking about the lack of epicness? This is a VERY epic tune.

matthewthecoolguy · 17-10-2011, 02:19 AM

I think it's a really great song.
My jaw dropped when Rihanna's line came in.
Can't believe her singing. Really great.

However, my assumptions were true:

This will be the song that divides Coldplay's fan base in half.
At least the fans who have been around since Parachutes.

UrbanBuckeye33 · 17-10-2011, 02:20 AM

If you don't think it is epic, you aren't playing it on headphones. If you play it loud, it increases its amazingness exponentially.

So, this is the nemesis of the post that was closed?

ApproximatelyInfinite · 17-10-2011, 02:23 AM

I'm not really feeling it, but I'm tired of despairing over Coldplay's "new direction," so I'm not going to be harsh or anything. But to me, it sounds to be in the same vein as "Paradise," which I'm not a big fan of--it sounds very Top 40 radio to me in the sense that I think it sounds a lot like the kind of stuff that's already out there. And whoever said it before I think was right: Rihanna feat. Chris Martin is the vibe I get, although I think she suits the song for what it is very well.

All of this said about those two songs, I really love ETIAW, lest anyone think I'm just a huge Coldplay grumpus now. For whatever reason, I just don't click with "Paradise" and "Princess of China," and as long as the rest of the unheard parts of the album don't go the same way, that's fine, to have two duds for me. I think the thing I'm not a huge fan of is that I like the songs that have super catchy, sparkling central riffs, like ETIAW and CB of this era, and like "Clocks" and "Speed of Sound" etc from the past. "Paradise" and "Princess" are much more heavy-beat centric to my ear, in that the beat overshadows any of the riffs that exist, and that just doesn't appeal to me as much as something centered around a glittering central guitar or piano riff of some of their other songs. The riff in this song just doesn't do much for me, I guess, and I feel like the beat is the main point

UrbanBuckeye33 · 17-10-2011, 02:26 AM

Everyone is entitled to their opinion! haha.

I only am confused as to why you think this doesn't have a catchy riff. The main riff is ridiculously catchy...

Oh, so you've already listened to the entire album? Please, do tell.

I mean, that's what you meant right? OR, you're judging 14 songs off of one song.
