Mr X Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I enjoy all aspects of there music but for someone to compare them to Coldplay s a lot of nonscence. The lyrics for the songs are excellent and even if alot of people dont appreciate a good band, I sure as hell do. Brilliant band and I hope the concert is fantastic. I was just guessing at numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart. Questions of science, science and progress Don't speak as loud as my heart. Yeah, excellent lyrics those. Rhyming 'apart' with 'heart'. That's never been done before. They're the band for people who think Radiohead are 'weird'. Safe, dull, predictable, without a shred of originality. Just horrible.

kearney19 Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm going to go against the grain of this thread and say I dont mind Coldplay. I am one of very few people who think's their music is getting better, not worse. Probably puts my music reputation on the line but so what. I like them, its all about taste. Well said mate, excellent band and I agree it does get better. New albums suppsoed to be ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to get ridiculed no matter what you post, so I wouldn't worry about it (although some of it makes me laugh, sorry). Wouldn't say excellent band, but they're not as pish as some make out. It's all about taste and opinions. I dont care if no one likes Coldplay, I think they're ok, and their new stuff appeals to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Dawn Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 For those who are interested you can listen to the new album in full just now. See NME for details: http://www.nme.com/news/coldplay/37136 You have to have a MySpace account to listen to it. First impressions are patchy - some very good songs and some songs which are way over produced. In particular, there is a song called Lost. I had heard the acoustic version and it had the potential to be as big a hit as Fix You. The version on the album has far too much going on and has ruined the song in my opinion.

Deal? OK I tried to remove my hatred. Here's my review: Life in Technicolor: Intro. Upbeat for them, but only an intro so wont be rating it. Cemetaries of London: Forced sounding accent on vocals. Dour. Needs to rise to a peak. Sounds like he's trying to be the Verve. 4 Lost: Intantly thought of choirs and gospel. Boring vocals. 3 42: Builds up which is an improvement. Very "In my Place"-esque. 5 Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love: Upbeat start. Random change and becomes pretentious IMO. 5 Yes/Chinese Sleep Chant: Flat vocals at start. Again a pointless change. Why not make it 2 songs? Second half is irritating. 4 Viva la Vida: Not very adventurous. 5 Violet Hill: Best on it, but has a poor ending for me. 6 Strawberry Swing: Thought of line dancing at the start. Ended up thinking "Get on with it, Martin!" 4 Death and All his Friends: Takes ages to get into the actual song. 1 minute of said song, then 3 minutes of what is almost ambient music. A weak way to end the album. 4 Total: 40/90 Hows that Kearney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab87 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Just "obtained" the album on the interwebz about an hour ago and I'm not to impressed, I have liked a few of their songs in the past and quite like the new one Viva La Vida. Sounds like they are trying to sound TOO diffirent, and in doing that they have just made a mish mash album that doesnt make any sense and lacks any direction. 4/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Ill take that review in and its an honest 1. Who would you suggest as a good artist to see Darren? While I wouldn't have the sheer audacity to tell you who to go and see, I would suggest as a first gig experience you would maybe enjoy something a little less sedate. Call me an old fashioned type but I personally like a gig where you can go a bit mental to the occasional tune. Or at least jump around a bit. Or something. Anything. I get the impression a Coldplay gig could be a lot of standing around arms folded much in the way Mr Martin is on the previous page... Having to listen to pretentious gits going on about how great their melodies are. Or something. Sod it. Go and see the Exploited. I don't even like thrash metal but had a brilliant time!

Dr. Bapswent Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Proof that Chris Martin is an anus. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7452341.stm Coldplay star abandons interview Viva La Vida... is set to be number one on Sunday Coldplay singer Chris Martin has walked out of a BBC interview while promoting the band's new album. Nine minutes into the pre-recorded interview for Radio 4 arts show Front Row, the 31-year-old asked to leave the studio as he was not enjoying himself. The band's drummer, Will Champion, was left to answer questions from presenter John Wilson until Martin returned for one final question. Coldplay's new album, Viva La Vida, was released on Thursday. 'Journalistically twisting' Martin appeared uncomfortable with the interview from the outset. When asked about a speech he made at a music awards ceremony in 2005 where he said the band would be away "for a very long time", Martin said: "I always say stupid things and I think Radio 4 is the place that will most remind me of that." The band had French Revolution-style uniforms made to promote the album Presenter Wilson questioned whether the new album - full title, Viva La Vida Or Death To All His Friends - was a morbid reflection of the band's lyrical obsession with death. "I wouldn't agree with you there at all, no," said Martin. "I'd say you're journalistically twisting me into saying something I don't really mean." A few minutes later, Martin said he was "not really enjoying this" and that he did not really like "having to talk about things". Champion answered the remaining questions before the frontman returned to answer a final question, about finding new musical territory, with the response: "Um....yes...yes, yes....exactly..." Sales figures released by the Official UK Charts Company confirm Viva La Vida sold 125,000 copies in its first day on sale. It looks certain to be number one in this Sunday's album chart despite only being released towards the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
