A lot of their songs sound the same. I haven't checked this one out because I was not impressed at all with their previous attempts. Rush of Blood was decent, but by no means an extraordinary cd.

I'm an employee in a record store, on day of release I had to SUFFER the album on repeat from 12 noon - 9pm when I finished. I felt like committing suicide. I mean seriously 9 hours of that one CD going over and over, the funny thing was when they turned it off our fire alarms triggered causing mass evacuation of the building. We prayed the CD had melted down.

Here's my problem with Chris Martin and Coldplay...

Chris Martin is married to Gynneth Paltrow, (one of the most attractive women on earths surface if popularity contests are to be believed, she doesn't do it for me however) happily so might I add and even has kids by her. He's worth a damn fortune so what pray tell me does he have to be so whiney about? EVERY Coldplay song in existence has been whingy apathetic stuff, he doesn't even get angry about it. He can be signing about the stuff that makes every single person on the planets blood boil and he'd have this monotone (yes he is, he never sings in any other note, that means he's monotone and flat) apathetic voice about it. I just don't get it! Also every coldplay album sounds the same, exactly so in fact get 3 coldplay albums and play them all on shuffle and you'd never tell which album the tracks are from unless you're like a massive coldplay fan.

In all, I was predictably disappointed by this album. I knew it'd be just like everything he's ever released before but I had hope, I believed but I was let down.

The new album sucks, IMHO. I like a load of Coldplay tracks, but this album's pretty weak.

He's whining because his wife was a) engaged (?) to Brad Pitt, and b) just starred in a big smurfing huge awesome movie opposite Robert Downey Jr Howzat for fair trade?

So say for example I was lucky enough to be dating Mila Kunis who is famous for her roles in That 70's show, Family Guy and a couple of movies. I would therefore have divine right to be singing apathetic whingy music because she stars in movies opposite Russell Brand a well known lothario? Or Because she's probably dated someone way better looking than me in her past? No, somehow I don't think you can get whingy about that it'd be like saying "Hey I love my wife/girlfriend but you know I can't trust her one bit in her job not to go off and screw around" I'm sure we have all at some point dated someone who has dated someone better looking than ourselves. It comes down to Chris Martin has nothing to whinge about really same as if I was in his or a similar position I'd have nothing to whinge about either.

Uhh, so now you're telling people what they can and can't write about, how they can and can't sing, etc etc?

Just say you don't like it and be done with it. No one cares why you don't like it because the people that choose to like it won't listen to you anyway.

Different things inspire different people, could be about a different time, could be about anything.

I was only making an observation, as superficial as it was. Chris Martin doesn't look like the stereotypical kind of guy girls would be falling all over, so I'm pretty sure he's insecure, behind all o dem record sales. Wikipedia just told me that Gwen is depressed a lot though, and they seem to be relatively low-key, so there you go.

Upon further listening, VLV seems pretty worthy of the hype, though. It's been enough to get me to drag out my stereo for the first time in almost a year, and listen to something without using my computer. If someone ever wrote a song as awful as "fix you" about me, I would still punch them in the face. The tune is fine, but...ugh.

Really I'm just killing time until the new Travis album comes out. I'm so excited

X&Y had a lot of hopeful optimistic songs. A lot of them. I dont' think there were hardly any whiny songs on that album. And a lot of people didn't like it.
