    Most of it is just noise and almost like they are messing about. One song (Trouble in Town) stops half way through for people talking and swearing over the top, another (WOTW) sounds like Chris Martin is singing in the shower and somebody recorded it from another room. Bizarre. When I Need A Friend sounds like they've recorded a foreign church service and ends with 30 seconds of an old guy talking in a foreign language. The Arabic Song on CD2 is just piano and random chat over the top. I am truly baffled.

    I genuinely think Chris Martin has lost the plot and I can't see how the other band members are happy with this album.

    If this was an unknown band releasing it as their first album they would never be heard of again. Because it is Coldplay people will buy it in millions.
    This.
  2. Halfway through it and think the album is a bit of a joke. At least Ghost Stories had songs in it!
  3. 'Wanker' comes to mind!
  4. Wow, judging from the comments here this album looks promising I'll have a listen later on
  5. I'm giving it a proper listen now. Sunrise (cool little intro) and Church are actually OK.
  6. The songs are not bad. But there's lots of things that aren't songs. They were recorded in someone's bedroom, like, from the flat below, while it was raining.

    It's not a double album. It's a normal album with stuff lying around.
  7. It's got a definite Nick Drake - Pink Moon feel at times.
  8. Coldplay's problem is not a lack of creativity,it's more what they consider to be a 'song' I listened to the leaked album and there's lots to like about it.However,too much of it is potential,sketches,fragments-if they actually developed these into full length songs they'd have a strong album.IMO there's only about 3-4 proper songs on Everyday Life,the rest is very much half-finished ideas.
  9. Haven't listened to the leak but they've released 2 new songs today from the album.

    Man, they're boring.
  10. I like champion of the world and everyday life. All the other stuff is nonsense to me. Man where is the old coldplay!? Rush of blood to the head en x&y....

    And Viva...
  12. Trouble in Town, Arabesque, Cry-Cry-Cry are musically interesting.
    The end of Champion Of The World could have been better, a classic Coldplay tune.
    I agree that the transition between songs are shitty and that some pieces seem to be demos...
