I quite Likes it.



Not my fave band, but I like a few of their tracks. Some nice ethereal guitar work in there too.

    I like it, but the two I've heard just sound like Bon Iver clones. :) :/

    Heard it once on the radio today and didn't realise who it was until it had finished and was 'back announced'. On first hearing, very strong. I know it's massively uncool to like Coldplay, but ever since I first heard 'Yellow' I've considered them to be the best singles band around. There is a certain 'heart' to the best of their work (The Scientist, Fix You, Yellow, etc) which carries a rare emotional weight.

    I'm seriously uncool in many aspects of my life....

    I love The Scientist and don't mind the one with Rihanna, but most of the rest don't do anything for me.

    Nor this one, sorry. Not actually bad, just a bit empty.

    When I heard that Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltry were splitting up, my first thought was - Christ, does that mean we'll be inflicted with another miserable Coldplay album?

  • Coldplay - the band for people who don't want to admit that they can't understand Radiohead.

    They're a great band. Not their fault they write songs people enjoy listening too.

    New stuff is ok so far, could be tricky I make and tour an whole album of that stuff next to their stadium-type material

  • Whenever I hear Coldplay, all I hear is a load of outros..They need to write songs, verses and choruses, and get away from the Big Festival Moments they seem to be aiming for.

    I decided to consciously uncouple myself from this track after 5 seconds.

    To be honest, I love most of Coldplay's music - the structures, arrangements, tones, melodies... they have some really cool stuff. And they put on a great live show too.

    The thing that lets it down for me is the lyrics. I like CM's voice and delivery, but the lyrics are always so banal - no meaning, obvious rhymes (to the point where you'll be singing along on the first listen if you want to). They just do nothing for me and prevent the band as a whole from really connecting with me.

    Coldplay - the band for people who don't want to admit that they can't understand Radiohead.
    Muse - the band for people who are happy to admit they can't stand Radiohead.

    ;)

    It's like some weird game of Paper-Scissors-Stone…

    …or does that make it Catatonia?

    I once supported an Iowa band who had once been described as "Radiohead for Coldplay fans", so they put it on their merch :)

    No. Radiohead are shit too.

    I'm not even going to talk about Muse.
