Thread: X&Y?

  1. #1

    Default X&Y?

    Coldplay's new album? I haven't given it as fair a chance, but it's not proving to be particularly exciting so far. Maybe it's because I saw them live doing it and the album isn't as impressive? What do you think? :\

    Why bother buying it, when you can get the EXACT same experience from A Rush Of Blood To The Head and Parachutes?

    In fact, why not just hang it all and go listen to Radiohead, the style of whom Coldplay stole and then removed all emotion and talent from.

    I've never listened to it, but I'm going to be biased and say that they're not very good judging by the two songs I've heard by them.

    So far, that's what I'm thinking, but I already have A Rush of Blood and Parachutes.

    I'm not too fond of X&Y, but then I'm not a huge Coldplay fan anyway. Since I saw them live a few weeks ago I haven't listened to the album once, which probably tells you quite a bit. It isn't that there's anything wrong with the album, it just doesn't really inspire or move me, which is surely the point of their style of music. Supposedly they threw out 40 or so tracks before they settled on this final line-up, and if this is the best of that bunch then I dread to think what the worst sounded like.
    "The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    It's not that they're BAD, but they're just... boring. They're not very good, but that's just my opinion of them.
