¼½¾ Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 It reminds me of something, maybe from the 80s, but I can't put a finger on what. It's a bit meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Usual insipid guff. Their only half decent song is A Sky Full of Stars as it had Avicii’s stamp on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dia Liom Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Heard it on radio the other day. DJ said it was produced by whichever mup produced the weeknd blinding lights, which makes sense as the coldplay song sounds like a half-hearted copy of that. Sounds like shite to me. I quite liked Parachutes and a few tracks of the 2nd album. Disliked everything I've heard since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Meant to be retro 80s sound like various offerings by Gaga, Dua Lipa, Wknd etc but it lacks their usual catchiness. Forgettable as a Bieber song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) It sounds like a pale imitation of Boys Of Summer to me. Pretty sure a Dua Lipa song was influenced by that as well. The only Coldplay song in recent years that was vaguely passable to my ears was Talk but only because it took a riff from Computer Love by Kraftwerk and that's a melody nigh on impossible to ruin.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I don't want to listen to it as I know my YouTube suggestion list will then be full of Coldplay stuff. Parachutes was OK as an album as it wasn't over produced but since then everything has a similar sound, too slick and boring. Music needs to have a depth to it, their's doesn't.

i8hibsh Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) **** me that is horrendous. I have been watching/listening to their decline for years but this is pretty low. How can a band that brought such pleasure to me with Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the head and to a much lesser extent X & Y (but still found it credible) come up with such tripe nowadays? They keep trying to re-invent the wheel and progress from what they essentially are. Melancholy suits them - this tripe does not. I think it is time for them to call it a day and venture out alone. Martin is so obviously gifted, I advise doing a Damon Albarn and starting up a new project (Gorrilaz) - he must have more in his tank - just not as part of Coldplay.

Gards Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Preferred their earlier stuff....but also think Ghost Stories is a great album. This new song doesn't do anything for me....i think they need to do a bit of a reset but still think they've got some tunes in them to come.

Baaa… You can also look at it that way I suppose and we are all sheep in our own little way. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard someone say, or someone post on a thread in recent years that Coldplay are garbage,brutal, etc. It just seems to be the fashionable thing to slag them off. Another off the top of my head along the same lines is U2. Yes I did and still do like Friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
