Coldplay - X&Y - Your thoughts?

[Huskey]

Has anyone got this yet? Although I've got it on order, let's just say I aquired off a mate :)

Listened through only once, seems good, nothing actively bad but no songs strike me as super-duper-fantastic either tbh :) Thoughts?

[Jimmyboy]

lol it ended up on the net then?? well, everything does so thats no surprise :p

anyone else heard it then?? im curious as to what others think....

[BroadbandPlacey]

ive had about 5 tracks of it for a while now and nothing i consider STUNNING like the previous 2 albums

ive had it on pre order for abit now so im hoping when i hear the album in full all the hype for it is justified

[Jimmyboy]

im not sure how coldplay have become this worldwide phenominum anyway, they're good yer, but not that good i think...

[BroadbandPlacey]

not really jimmy rush of blood to the head was in the album charts for like 2 years of something - both the previous albums are just stunning its obvious to see where this hype has come from - along with a bit of clever marketing - ive been itching to get me hands on this album since early last year!!! and in 6 days ill have it!!!

[Jimmyboy]

hmm i guess i must disagree with all the public then :p, i do like coldplay yes, but still, i dont think they are fantastic...

[David]

Coldplay are alright although I do fall asleep after 3 or 4 tracks.

1 good reason not to put them in your car ;)

I enjoyed 'Rush of Blood...' but this one doesn't seem to cut it. Hopefully it will grow.

[Jimmyboy]

i was put off slightly when they released a clocks rip off, not a good sign that...

i dont think they are that good either...

lol yeah! That's what I thought :D You can even sing the clocks lyrics to it and it fits :D

[BroadbandPlacey]

may i be the first to say:

F**k me thats unexpected - the singles don't do it justice the hype is 100% correct

it is amazing - it possibly is the best of all three - it is certainly not a disappointment :o

[Swafe]

I hate coldplay, I think there slow, boring and monotonous, I cant stand it, their music (What Ive heard so far) is just depressing.

[jon bda]

I always find Feuer Frei to be an excellent way to annoy the neighbours...
:D

[Jimmyboy]

i seen rammstein live oh my, they were awesome i moshed my bloody arse off lol

but anyways, back on topic, thanx to mr placey im listening to x & y now, up to track 3 the 1st two were good, track 3 is fairly boring but as they say (so far) two outta three aint bad :D

*edit*
ok.....
fix you is fantastic :D

[Jimmyboy]

finished the album... to me its not as good as the other two, but track 4 (fix you) is so damn good it really is :D

[David]

I agree. But setting fire to their dustbin is good too.

I don't get it either. Maybe that's how my kids will rebel against their parents - they'll get sensible haircuts, wear smart clothes, play bland pop music at low volume and be home at 9 pm every night.

fix you is amazing - the instrumental bit towards the end sends a shiver down my spine everytime :D :hehe:

[Huskey]

What about low? Quite like that one as well :)

used to be bang into metal, but nowadays i just prefer mudic i can relate to,
im not angry like when i was in my mid to late teens im more (cue violin) miserable and lonely so music i can feel miserable and lonely to is fine by me :p

[M3ta7h3ad]

The only songs I like on it is the clocks ripoff, and white shadows or whatever the hell its called. The rest of it is pap imo.

[BroadbandPlacey]

[Jimmyboy]

lol yer thanx 4 getting it to me, its not as good as the 1st two though, but its alright, fairly averagey to me though but i still love that fix you song thats one of their best easily

[BroadbandPlacey]

464,000 thousand copies sold in a week, thats the second fastest selling album since records began in the early 90's

the first two have also re-entered the charts

[David]

Records began in the 1990s? I'd always assumed that the number of albums sold per week had been recorded for a lot longer than that. I probably based my assumption on the fact that the album chart is published weekly, but of course that is only a comparison of the number of albums sold in selected outlets per week. They've also been giving out gold discs for decades but I suppose they don't need to know how many were sold per week, just the total number.

[BroadbandPlacey]

dunno just said on bbc that records began in early '90s. Only oasis has sold more in its first week

[stevieb]

Hmmmmm, Coldplay.


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.


Sorry.

[BroadbandPlacey]

well, whose seen the video for Fix you, the next single and by far best song on the album?

it is brilliant, you think, "what is this it" then it reveals itself at the instrumental bit like the song, brilliant idea, well matched to the song and great videoo

i wont give anymore away because im sure one or two of the people who actually care wont have seen it yet

[stabber]

I got my dad it for fathers day so i borrowed it. Never really been into cold play but fix you is by far the best song. But now its realised its going to slowly suck. I think thats what cold play are, a dads band i think everyone i know got there day it for fathers day. Like rem eh jimmy ;)

[BroadbandPlacey]

ey, you leave the legends alone!!! you can take the pee outta coldplay but takin da pee outta REM is goin too far ;)

[sara]

Coldplay ARE the new REM. The mum&dad's band, who never hit the number 1 spot (okay so they do now but that'll change) but make millions upon millions out of their album being bought as Xmas/BDay present, used for shop & commercial background music, because it's so inoffensive and pretty.

The songs are good, as are REMs. But they are still the new face of mum-rock.

[David]

Mums do tend to like those nice young men with their smart clothes and sensible shoes and haircuts.

[Swafe]

Them mothers do sure hate me, not so nice, baggy clothes, skate shoes and long hair

:D

[Jimmyboy]

Coldplay ARE the new REM.

ive never disagreed with anything more....

no chance

[Mr Flibble]

love it, it's boss. And I ain't a great fan of most guitar music.
