Coldplay

[New2Ya]

I'm pretty heavy on the topic posting, but Coldplay NEEDS its own topic. Cant believe no one posted on yet.

Anyways, I consider Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends one of the if not the best album ever released, by any band. It's that good. The album has 'harmony' written all over it.

Funny enough, I've been a fan of their work since they started releasing albums, so that makes me a hardcore fan probably.

 

[Vandread]

Yeah, probably. There have been Coldplay threads in the past though, at least two or three since Viva La Vida came out.

But, uh, Viva La Vida's pretty awwwright, though I think I got sick of it after listening to it so much. It's definitely not the best album ever released though, despite it's record shattering sales numbers. I can safely say that's the hardcore Coldplay fan in you saying that.

Anyway, other than that album, I've only heard a handful of their other songs and like them well enough. I've thought about downloading their discography to listen to all that, but haven't gotten around to it.

Chris Martin is probably the most boring man on the planet.

What was it? He has the "voice of a high school geography teacher," was it?

 

[Vossler]

I like there old stuff over there new stuff preferbly Parachutes.

 

[Efflictim]

Viva La Vida and Death to All His Friends is a good album but it's not the best album

 

[Vossler]

Strawberry Swing was better.

 

[Vandread]

I liked Viva La Vida until it got played every other song on the radio :v Cemeteries of London and Violet Hill are still pretty awesome though; Strawberry Swing too.

I gotta say though, the whole putting two completely different songs on one track thing they did with about half the album pissed me off though. Typically, I found one half of a track to be better than the other and didn't see why they couldn't just separate them.

I know what you are saying, there are probably only a few key songs that I like on Viva La Vida.

Oh I actually liked that. Guess I'm used to it, a lot of bands and artists have these musical tracks that are basically two songs combined.

It was refreshing. :lol:

Meh, I like Parachutes a lot, but it was mainly sad songs... I don't really like to listen to sad songs... makes me sad. :23:

 

[Enchanted Rose]

Can I nominate Chris Martin as the most embarrassingly bad dancer in music?

I didn't find it refreshing at all. If both parts were equally good, I might not have minded it, but I'd rather not have to wait through the first half of a song to get to the good part when it could just be two.

hahaha yes

 

[Passion]

I'm going to Coldplay concert on the 15th of May, excited for that

But I don't think Viva La Vida is their BEST album. Its okay, not the best

 

[Informal Gluttony]

Viva la Vida is cool for a listen every now and then. My favorite song is definitely both parts of Yes.

 

[Agoraphobia]

Oh, Coldplay, the-

zzzzzzzzzz

 

[Salty the Hero]

They've got some good songs.

Violet Hill and Viva La Vida are alright.

 

[Daniel Faraday]

Viva la Vida has the worst lyrics of any album I've heard in like 5 or so years ('Those who are dead/are not dead/they're just living in my head'. Really, Chris?).

X&Y too actual effort to listen to. It was incredibly monotonous.

A Rush of Blood was actually alright. Green Eyes and The Scientist were pretty awright generic post-Buckley ballads.

Parachutes was the same song on repeat for roughly 40 minutes. Don't Panic was cool though.

So that's my opinion on Coldplay :T

I will admit it being the song it is, the lyric weren't all
that great you are right,but I like the music and beat with it.

('Those who are dead/are not dead/they're just living in my head'. Really, Chris?).

Which sucks, because everything else about that song is cool.

I can overlook the lyrics on that one. 42 is, believe it or not, my favorite song from the record.
