This might be a stupid question... but is anyone here a Coldplay fan?

I've just started listening to the new album, "Viva La Vida" and I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on it.  I didn't have huge expectations going in as I found a chunk of the last album to be "by the numbers" Coldplay, but so far I'm really enjoying this new one.

My favourite song so far is "Lost", but I haven't listened enough to let everything sink in.  It seems like there is more variety in the instruments and lyrics this go-around.  If this makes any sense, the music sounds like the album artwork.    yes

I don't get "Coldplay".  I don't get how they became so big.  Their music seems like music for smart people or something.  Or maybe for depressed people.  That commercial for the album they've been running reminds me of U2.

I use to absolutely love Coldplay but here lately Chris Martin's voice just annoys the living piss out of me.

I want to scream at him "GET SOME FUCKIN BALLS and sing hard every once in awhile.

I'm intrigued by all the press on the new album, especially all the articles that emphasize the fact that Martin has essentially abandoned that God-awful falsetto that drenched each and every song, as well as the swooping strings and mid-temp schlock that characterized 95% of their albums up to this point (yes, just my opinion, I know).  I sincerely hope that they truly sound different, and that Viva La Vida lives up to the hype.

Yes! They're a good band, good songs, but his voice is fucking annoying!

Fix You and The Scientist are awesome songs though

I just read a review that said the slight change in style was really good, identifying the fact that "there are no songs to make a video with Chris Martin walking in slow motion".

I got a good laugh after I realized that Yellow, Fix You & The Scientist are all guilty of this.    hihi

They have some pretty cool songs, but other then that, I find them to be really depressing.

Coldplay huh?

Probably my least favorite band of this era.

The pussification of rock continues.

By chance I was listening to KROQ today in the car, and this really great song starts playing.  I loved the voice, the lyrics, the music, and then I waited to hear whose song it was, but no luck.  I googled the lyrics later, and voila, it was the song Violet Hill.

There needs to be a yin and yang in rock music, no?  Coldplay on yin side, and a band like Buckcherry on the yang.

Interesting...

Anyways, I think it's just another overrated song with more style than substance.

The songs are better written than any Oasis number!

I love the last track - 'Death and All His Friends' - particularly for  the progression that starts with "I don't wanna something something from beginning to end, I don't wanna something death and all of his friends" - I could hear that a few more times, but then again it is written as a cadence.

Ok, so it doesn't rock, but it is fascinating music all the same.  yes

I have found Coldplay to be hit or miss.


For me, the songs are either amazingly Great or corny ridiculously bad.


I love the hits on the radio and I bought the album, but some of the lyrics are just.................. really bad and his voice grates on your nerves after a few songs.


Coldplay are a band for me, great in moderation but I could never like GNR,Bon Jovi,Prince,RHCP sit down and listen to them an hour or even 30 minutes straight.
