... will be around for a very long time.
I know that a lot of you out there fail to see what all the 'hype' is with this relatively new band from England. After the success of "Parachtues" many believed this band had had it's time... a follow up album could not match nor even dream of surpassing the brilliance of "Parachutes"... well, I disagree. There are very few bands in the world who's music really gets to me like U2's music does, but I have to say that Coldplay has achieved this... they touch my soul in a way I thought only U2 could. I get the same tingles when I hear them on the radio, the same excitement when they announce upcoming tour dates, the same giddiness when I see them on TV.
There is something about their music that is really unique. I know they have been accused of ripping other British artists' styles with the likes of Radiohead and Travis... I personally fail to see any resemblence between the three bands.
Coldplay will be around for a very long time. Yes, I am saying it again. With the release of their upcoming album "A Rush Of Blood To The Head", they will prove to the world that "Parachutes" was not a fluke. I have heard quite a few tracks already from the new album and I am simply blown away. I admit I had some skepticisms of my own regarding whether or not it would live up to the hype... but I have all the confidence in the world that it will. "In My Place", released as their first single, was a brilliant move. It's one of those songs that get better with each listen.
I lost a co-workers friendship over this band... but in the end, it made me see that the friendship in question was not all that real in the first place. No matter, I will be seeing Coldplay in Seattle at The Paramount on the 4th of September & I will be celebrating!
Anyway... I just wanted to share my opinions regarding this great band, and open up a discussion for those who agree... There is a lot of Coldplay love out there, so let's share people.
*Sweet justice... "In My Place" just came on the radio.....
