I really enjoyed the first album. I haven't bought one ever since.

I have a love-hate relationship with Coldplay... I actually love most of their music, but I still feel inclined to insult them all the time! I think it's a U2 fan guilt thing...plus, their lyrics really are bad.

I agree wholeheartedly

I actually burnt my english teacher a coldplay cd, and as a surprise a U2 cd.

He only listens to the U2 cd.

Keiran, did you take your pills today?

Which is to say, that on an average day, it's a hard decision as to which of these two CDS will form my 'soundtrack for living' for the remainder of that day, in my corporate cubible office......

Cubicle music = Sucking vortex of death

Run Kieran!

It's not cubicle music, it's lifestyle music!

I think X&Y is all about broken things and trying to fix them

With U2 for me, I tend to usually enjoy many of the non released tracks (the non-singles)

I'm no Coldplay fan, I did like a few of their "old" songs, and brought X&Y. (Now I just Put it in the CD player and skip to track 5)
(back on topic)

With Coldplay, I tend to only listen to the released songs (X&Y i'm talking about) So I find myself only using the CD for 3 songs...as compared with U2 (I dont know if its just because I am a U2 fan) but eventually, (Achtung Baby, Pop, JT all eventually grew on me) HTDAAB I feel over instantly, loved every track (and still do)

X&Y just wont grow on me.

I liked Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood To The Head is one of my favorite albums. But I just can't get into X&Y for some reason. I tried listening to it again recently, and I still thought it sucked.

getupoffurknees · 04-07-2006, 02:13 PM

To me X&Y is there best album. A Rush of Blood to the Head and Parachutes are good but not as good as X&Y. I agree with you CJ, there lyrics are starting to drive me crazy because they make absolutley no sense.

xaviMF22 · 04-07-2006, 02:48 PM

A rush of blood is their best album. X&Y was a huge disappointment

ImOuttaControl · 04-07-2006, 03:25 PM

It doesn't bother me too much that some of the lyrics are pretty random. U2 has written some pretty shitty lyrics at times, so have The Beatles...ect.

As for X&Y, I loved it when I first got it. Then I had a real love/hate relationship with it. Now, I have a whole new respect for X&Y after seeing Coldplay live in Chicago last week. In fact, I really hated "White Shadows" before hearing it live. Now I love it.

The new songs sounded fantastic live--many of them sounding much much better than they sound on the album(White Shadows, What If, Fix You). Talk was awesome---don't let the shitty performance on the Grammy's taint your opinion of this song.

Square One

was amazing. One of the best songs of the decade in my opinion.

cjboog · 04-07-2006, 07:02 PM

Coldplay's grammys performance was flat out awful. They sounded like absolute crap. I still like the song Talk a lot, but that performance contributed to me not liking them as much as I used to.

Just for your amusement:

Chris Martin's band was giving a private concert for winners of a contest sponsored by radio station WPLJ, when he was asked about the competition between Coldplay's "X&Y" and Carey's "The Emancipation of Mimi" for biggest-selling album of 2005. When WPLJ reporter Brad Blanks asked Martin how he felt about having Mariah on his tail, he replied: "She's not, but one of her boobs is. They do most of her work. Last week I was chased down the street by an enormous boob. I think it was hers."

Martin even made up a song on the spot, sitting at his keyboard: "Man's been traveling through space and man's been to the moon and man's spent most of his intelligence desiring Mariah Carey boobs."

As the crowd laughed, he continued: "Mariah Carey's boobs are so nice, and she don't mess around. If she had been aboard the Titanic, there's no way that ship would have gone down."
