Is anyone else sick of Coldplay??
Here's the thing: I am a Coldplay fan. In fact, the number one most played song on my U2-edition iPod is "Don't Panic," by a considerable amount. I have Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head, and I plan to get X&Y at some point. Hopefully I'll get to see them when they come to Indianapolis in August.
So all this doesn't add up, but...I'M REALLY SICK OF COLDPLAY!!!
They're on the cover of every blasted magazine, MTV and VH1 play the Speed of Sound video approximatley 23868.49 times a day, and it seems like everyone ever is like "OMG COLDPLAY!!!!!?!?!?!?1?213LOLZ?"
I guess the thing is that I don't like them competing with my boys. Or rather, I don't like people comparing them to U2 as if they're actually in the same league. Because they're not. AT ALL. I simply cannot fathom the people that are going "OMG X&Y is so good, I wish U2 was daring like this!!" Daring? How the hell is it daring? Granted I've only heard about half the album, but even the song that lifts a line from Kraftwerk (Talk) ends up sounding like U2 more than anything else. There are SOME songs that don't sound like U2...for example Fix You, which is supposedly one of the best tracks on the album. Hmm. Personally I found it really boring, but that's just me.
I could go on, but I don't feel like it. The point is I'm tired of Coldplay, or rather, I'm tired of people heralding them as the next U2 or Jesus or something. They're quickly becoming the most overrated band ever.
Somehow I doubt many people will agree with me.
