1. It sounds so much like a Parachutes-era song but propelled by heartache. It is one of my favorite vocals by Chris ever.

  2. Yeah, it's said to be Spies + 42, I've read it from various people. It's surely one of the few that's truly good from this album.
  3. I have a gut feeling this album will be a grower after several listens so I'm going to keep listening to it in a hope that my opinion changes for the better. I still think it is only just good while being extravagantly tame.
  4. Royce Hall, LA- soundcheck. Rehearsing a song from AROBTTH that's never been played live. Can you guess what it is? PH

    You'd better rehearse Amsterdam or the title song Although I admit that a live debut is always exciting, A Whisper ain't the most brilliant song to rescue from that album to me.
    EDIT... Maybe I never paid enough attention to it though, I'm listening to it now and it reminds me of Shiver - which is obviously great news!
  5. I gotta say despite my hateful post a page or two ago, I listened to the album today and it's growing on me..an acquired taste maybe. But the only song I'm having a lot of trouble with still is Ink. It's way too much in the Wild Honey vein, a really sappy shitty song surrounded by good ones.

    Agreed Ink is really awkward, it brings the whole thing down for a minute there.
  7. Gonna listen a few more times before post a review here, but I can say 3 songs are really amazing.
  8. So much exitement about a boring album. Nr 1 everywhere in the world for sleeping music. How the hell is that possible.

    But... everybody likes sleeping... don't they?

    (I haven't heard the album yet.)
  10. Managed to bag a press ticket for this weekend's BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend so I'll be seeing Coldplay on Saturday!
  11. Wow, congrats Any benefits (aka backstage or something) or just a regular, non-paid-for ticket?
  12. Nope, front of house only. It is a ticket purely for review purposes.
