what happened to Coldplay?

Clocks happened lol

that stupid song was everywhere.. >_>

i never liked Coldplay enough to take them seriously but in my opinion i think it was their success that changed them..

in the sense that ppl kept expecting all their songs to be hits, expecting the same magic every past hit had.. that pressure could ruin a band but if you wanna make a good living as a musician you have to write hits

in a way they established a signature sound that ppl really liked..
and most bands that do that if they deviate from that sound ppl go "where's the Coldplay i know and love?"

it's very hard to measure the artistic depth each band has..

some bands run outta steam and can't keep producing good songs like they used to, other bands no matter what they do are considered geniuses cause you sense their artistic depth.

in my opinion Coldplay although talented musicians have become just another mainstream band cause the ppl have made them so and never had too much artistic depth to begin with.
