Is that so they can take more time to further rip off U2 with this newer material? It's been a progressive overtaking. I'm almost embarrassed for them this time around...before it was just hinting...

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate doors that were openned by bands like them to the mainstream for this genre of music over the past few years, but where the last album was a bit tepid, this one is unabashedly (be it visually or musically) U2-esque, @ 80's. I guess that's fine, but I just don't dig it.

You're probably right. But a dude can't be a prince all the time, can he?

Well...how nice for Coldplay.

I won't be seeing them, of course, but...how nice for them.

Sorry...I like rock. The soft-pop of Coldplay is wayyyyyyyyy too mellow for me to digest.

I do like that song "The Scientist", though.

I'm sure a Coldplay gig is good place to meet soccer moms and their daughters... the most insincere band on the planet right now.

I just heard a new song by Coldplay this morning. If I was U2 I would be really pissed off right now...

I loved the first album... but Chris's voice now throws needles in my eyes.

Ugh. Any shred of my being that might have liked them has been destroyed by their annoying ads during the NBA playoffs. This is one band that I can safely say I will never like or check out.
