Coldplay- X&Y
 

ok, a lot of people dislike the band but i for one was looking forward to the new album. like the with the white stripes album- i cant help but feel critics were influenced by the reputation of the band when dishing out superlatives such as "greatest album of the decade" and "a masterpiece". its good. not brilliant but good. while songs like "what if", "X&Y", "twisted logic" and "talk" are great songs, to me the album as a whole just sounds quite....i dunno..similiar. it all sounds the same. been a bit underwhelmed by the "hottest albums of the year". im praying the nine black alps debut makes up for it.

the critics annoy the heck out of me. for a whole year i had to hear that beyonce's album was the best album of the spring,summer autumn, winter and then the whole freakin' year! then they'll play that commercial back to back with another artist but using exactly the same lines......what about 'fix you' i thought that was a great album too.

by the way i tried getting some nine black alps and i got some wierd black metal stuff. is that them? what do they sound like?

a throw back to the days of grunge. not black metal at all. check em out here.

go to videos. got two of their singles.

well stu i haven't gotten the x&y yet but you said yourself you liked coldplay but you're not a massive fan....so i guessing this album is just as good as the previous ones...and my i remind you that the previous album was also not absofuckinlutley briliant..it was just really good and had a couple of standout ,briliant tracks...judging by the speed of sound i'd say i'm gonna get my money's worth ( i acctualy didn't really like in my place that much and it was their first single from AROBTTH...so....)

good music.reminds me of something but can't remember, like i've heard it before.it probably came on in the background while i was doing homework or something...thanks for the link. could you recommend any songs? i know ask this a lot but i love listening to new bands...
and i meant fix you as a song, not album as i mentioned earlier

dont get me started on the scientist. I adore it with such a passion

get your guns, cosmopolitian and the two new songs featured as videos are the ones ive heard by them.

my favourite are clocks from a rush of blood....

i do prefer ROBTTH- my favourite coldplay album. politik and the scientist are my favourites.

i like parachutes a tad better...a bit more consistent...funny story...i downloaded it and for about a year i was listening to a wrong "version" of the song parachutes...when i bought the album i realised that i was acctualy listening to Guster - parachutes!!! and the worst thing about it..I ACCTUALY LIKED THE SONG!! i hated it after i found out i was duped...never heard it again, in fact i burned the cd in a bong fire whilst dancing arround it and chanting.........well no, not really...
