Violet Hill is not quite the coldplay sort , but I guess rest of the album should turn out good . Colplay has a clean track record of delivering original style quality rock music , I hope this album lives up to the expectation . Can’t wait to listen to the whole album .

It’s a Stereophonics rip off – part Maybe Tomorrow, part Mr Writer.

Violet Hill from Coldplay is excellent. It is not a band I would have listened to before but this single is very rich musically and lyrically. It is so haunting. It does sound familiar though and I cannot recall what other song it reminds me of. When I first heard it I thought it was a cover version of an older song. Did anyone else think that?

Are you all tone deaf? This is a dreadful track, that simply smells of “we can record any old crap ha ha ha…and the gullible mugs will buy it”. It’s shi*.

possibly reminds you in parts of a song out of collateral with tom cruise. Theres parts of the song that do similar sounds to one of the songs in that film. Could be well off the mark tho. I think its a very good song and good on them for changing a bit. Look forward to the rest of the album now

Chris found his sound… IT’s a good one.. Hearing his voice fresh after all the brap I have been thru since x&Y, and to hear it with such a edge, of strength, just helps me understand his expression.. Been a long DARK few years Baby!!!

PEACE

I’ve just heard the new coldplay single and Oh My God it is great!!

I am liking this a lot more than their previous music and I’ve liked them for years, this has much more beat to it and better guitar riffs plus Chris’s voice is much more powerful!!

All I can say it that have DEFFINATLY changed ;D

Coldplay seem to have settled on one of their regular formats in which they seem pretty comfortable: intro-verse-chorus-breakdown (Square One, White Shadows and (to an extent) A Message)
For oldtime fans- this is even harder listening than a few singles on X&Y; but again it is just as richly rewarded as ever. Of course, it’s not like AROBTTH songs- theyve gone a long way- but has some similarities with Twisted Logic with its darker feel.
Hope the reduced length of the album (only 10 singles confirmed!) means theyve favoured more quality for less content

it’s a song in search of an identity. the guitar power chord screams in out of nowhere and makes no sense. doesn’t fit the soft piano and lyrics (which are good) at that point in the song- and the guitar solo later on is lame… like old pop “genesis” from the 80’s. i can only hope that this is the weakest song from the upcoming album- and glad they offered it for free- cause i certainly wouldn’t have paid for it!
