New Coldplay album.
Been slammed in the reviews. Methinks its not that bad, its a good listen.
reason its been slammed? well, they say Coldplay threw out the entire first session because the songs weren't good enough. if this is their better stuff, i would be hating to hear the crap they threw out.
nextly, after three years waiting for the follow up to Rush of Blood, all us Coldplay fans were expecting a stunning album. X&Y is not it. Don't get me wrong, I like the new album, I can't wait for the tour, but....well, just not living up to expectation.
Heheh, guess thats what you get when you love a band....

I've never listened to them except what I've heard on the radio, and some of my friends really like them. The new stuff seems to be pretty good, but I doubt I will buy it. |

From a bass point of view, Coldplay is nothing to get excited about, but from a songwriting view, Chris Martin knows how to get the job done.

They're at the good end of the modern pop soft rock spectrum, and are better than most mainstream popular bands out of there to be honest. Nothing to get immensly excited about, but enjoyable to listen to. |

And I don't understand how one can harp on the band for throwing songs out and speculating how these are deemed better songs when it really does sound like "rush of blood part 2".
Admit it. I like the band just fine, but they are hardly groundbreaking despite their efforts. They write a decent hook, exploit it for 4 minutes and move on...you know what you're getting and that's cool....I'd safely say I'll take their brand of post Ok Computer Radiohead-isms over the masturbatory pap that Yorke & Co. have been releasing anyday. |

I don't like them, maybe Chris Martin's arrogance has something to do with it. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
