Sounds like a Phil Collins song from the eighties being sung badly by Bob Geldoff, what dreadfull vocals, very poor.

Maybe we can't judge the whole album through one song, but "Violet Hill" just doesn't sound like Coldplay anymore. Disappointed :(

song is terrible, very boring, emo sounding, dull, and very forgettable. definitely not worth the wait.. crap single

I was expecting so much more. But they have disappointed me. Unless the album is absolutely amazing I doubt I will even buy it.

I really like the song. Initially, I thought it was nothing more than good, but I've listened to it a few more times and am becoming more and more pleased with it. It sounds like their old stuff in Martin's voice, but that's about it. I think the style is different from the rest of their albums. In short, I think it's a great song and am looking forward to the album.

Good song . Much darker than the others

I actually don't like it that much, it's not something i would listen to and i feel they could have released a better song than that.

for all those who couldn't get it coz of ursername/password issues, you have to copy and paste all the link instead of clicking it, the same thing happened to me! the link misses out *47 so make sure that is added at the end! i think the new song is awesome! and can't wait til the album, it comes out on my birthday yay!

Dont believe the hype, this is not a good song. If you are a big coldplay fan, the song is not so drastically different to make you switch it off - but from a neutral music lovers point of view it is pretty bland. Boring verse followed by a potentially interesting chorus that unfortunatley is only sung once before returning to the verse again. Repeat and then onto an embarrassing guitar solo by anyones standards. The end - just Martin and a piano - strips the song down and it actually sounds quite good, like a hidden track or b-side but nothing special. Coldplay fans will love it - but as with most bands, their hardcore following will love any old rubbish they put out. Coldplay haters will continue to hate , and will have good ammo for their rants. Nuetral music fans will be bored and soon forget the song.
Jay Wood, Petersfield on May 1st, 2008
Superbly written song, slightly surprising and perhaps not the greatest mix and production. Great that they made it available for free... thank you Coldplay...
