...and death and all his friends.:) for those of you who don't understand what the hell am talking about....shame on you:eek: surely you all know of the new Coldplay album coming out!!
So has anyone heard the new single "Violet Hill" Coldplay set up a site were you could download it for free!! thats right free the other week, long story short its awesome,:D and i can't wait to get my hands on the album.
Any other Coldplay fans as excited as i am.
To be honest I couldn't care less about Coldplay. I've never thought they were that interesting.. I do have some friends that really like them, though, and maybe they've made like one or two good songs, but that's it.
rush of blood to the head is one of my favorite 'listen all the way through' cds xD
can you still download the song?
They are quite good :) Many people who listen Keane end up listening Coldplay! On Keane's DVD "Strangers" I think it's Tom or Tim mention that his mom was at the bar to record their performance and before they act, Coldplay did and she recorder their perfomance on Coldpay's! XD
They have nice cds and songs! I'm not a fan but I have a playlist just for them ^^
I'm pleasantly surprised with this album. I'm just going to pretend that X&Y never happened. I'll break the album down a bit later.
On a side note, Chris Martin is my preferred target of Liam Gallagher. That guy always makes me laugh.
I like this album immensely, but I prefer "Rush of Blood to the Head." ;)
I'm not a huge Coldplay fan, but I enjoyed their first two records, and while this isn't as good as either of them it's a pleasant listen nonetheless. I don't get either of the singles, but the first half of the record is consistently good, and Strawberry Swing is a very nice song. It's definitely an improvement on X&Y.
I really dig violet hill
A lot of their songs sound the same. I haven't checked this one out because I was not impressed at all with their previous attempts. Rush of Blood was decent, but by no means an extraordinary cd.
I'm an employee in a record store, on day of release I had to SUFFER the album on repeat from 12 noon - 9pm when I finished. I felt like committing suicide. I mean seriously 9 hours of that one CD going over and over, the funny thing was when they turned it off our fire alarms triggered causing mass evacuation of the building. We prayed the CD had melted down.
Here's my problem with Chris Martin and Coldplay...
Chris Martin is married to Gynneth Paltrow, (one of the most attractive women on earths surface if popularity contests are to be believed, she doesn't do it for me however) happily so might I add and even has kids by her. He's worth a damn fortune so what pray tell me does he have to be so whiney about? EVERY Coldplay song in existence has been whingy apathetic stuff, he doesn't even get angry about it. He can be signing about the stuff that makes every single person on the planets blood boil and he'd have this monotone (yes he is, he never sings in any other note, that means he's monotone and flat) apathetic voice about it. I just don't get it! Also every coldplay album sounds the same, exactly so in fact get 3 coldplay albums and play them all on shuffle and you'd never tell which album the tracks are from unless you're like a massive coldplay fan.
In all, I was predictably disappointed by this album. I knew it'd be just like everything he's ever released before but I had hope, I believed but I was let down.
The new album sucks, IMHO. I like a load of Coldplay tracks, but this album's pretty weak.
He's whining because his wife was a) engaged (?) to Brad Pitt, and b) just starred in a big smurfing huge awesome movie opposite Robert Downey Jr :love: Howzat for fair trade?Quote:

No, somehow I don't think you can get whingy about that it'd be like saying "Hey I love my wife/girlfriend but you know I can't trust her one bit in her job not to go off and screw around" I'm sure we have all at some point dated someone who has dated someone better looking than ourselves. It comes down to Chris Martin has nothing to whinge about really same as if I was in his or a similar position I'd have nothing to whinge about either.Quote:

Different things inspire different people, could be about a different time, could be about anything.
I was only making an observation, as superficial as it was. Chris Martin doesn't look like the stereotypical kind of guy girls would be falling all over, so I'm pretty sure he's insecure, behind all o dem record sales. Wikipedia just told me that Gwen is depressed a lot though, and they seem to be relatively low-key, so there you go.
Upon further listening, VLV seems pretty worthy of the hype, though. It's been enough to get me to drag out my stereo for the first time in almost a year, and listen to something without using my computer. If someone ever wrote a song as awful as "fix you" about me, I would still punch them in the face. The tune is fine, but...ugh.
Really I'm just killing time until the new Travis album comes out. I'm so excited :D
