New Coldplay album
 

I managed to get my hands on it a little early (it comes out tomorrow) and I've been listening to it all morning. If you're into them you'll love it, it's a little different but it's not a radical departure from their older stuff.

V La V is pretty decent... but I'm not crazy about the other cuts I've heard.

Matty, I didn't know you were a middle aged white woman?

I keed, I keed. However, if [i]The 40 Year Old Virgin[/i] taught us anything...

Re: New Coldplay album
 

Gotta say, Coldplay is great. They're one of the best collections of musicians in music today.

Martin is a great writer.

Just listened to the whole thing....Lovers in Japan/Death and All his friends were my favorite (not counting Viva la Vida)....top to bottom it was a very good CD, only a couple songs will I really listen to over and over, but overall I didnt really hear a single thing I didnt like.

Re: New Coldplay album
 

Viva la Vida is a great song I can't stop playing it right now.

Re: New Coldplay album
 

Ah, but did they write it?

I like the other band's reaction when the manager said they couldn't have swiped the song.

Re: New Coldplay album
 

Yeah I heard about that, sounds like a load of crap

At least the other band admitted as much:
[QUOTE]"Soon after the video blew up, I received a call from Coldplay's manager. They were really nice about the whole thing and explained about their whereabouts and old demos. I guess the song similarities are just a coincidence...great minds think alike?
"Anyway, I must have been mistaken about seeing Chris at the show because all British people look the same. I lived in London for six weeks and I seriously thought every third person on the corner was Coldplay."

Re: New Coldplay album
 

So i just bought the new Coldplay and the new Offspring, really enjoying both, the Offsprings new album is way better then their last two. That fact that theres ballads on an Offspring cd is weirding me out though, and Im pretty stoked Hammerhead is a new DLC for Rockband.

In reference the the stolen song article its funny how the no name bands versions always suck though.

Obviously he's joking, but the timing is funny.

good deal but that's not the new one

Re: New Coldplay album
 

Oops. Is it obvious I don't listen to them at all?

Re: New Coldplay album
 

lol good try

A for effort

Re: New Coldplay album
 

I got my hands on the album yesterday and have listened through it once so far. Viva la Vida is the best song on the album, for me. That track is so good it almost overshadows the others, but tracks 4, 5, and 6 are also very good. Each of those tracks kind of have two songs per track, it's a cool flow. Then I'm a big fan of 8, Violet Hill.

It's a good sound, as usual. They're a band with a lot of complexity to their music, so as you listen to it more and more, your ear tends to pick up a lot more of the minor nuances; I think that's why their albums tend to grow on me over time. I don't mean to knock bands like Weezer (who I like) or Panic at the Disco (who I hate; ok I guess I'm knocking them), but their music is so simply constructed and contains so few layers that you get all you're going to get from it just by listening to it once or twice.

So I think I've got to listen to Viva la Vida several more times before I pass final judgment. But preliminarily, I'll say it's not quite to the level musically that X&Y was, but it's not too far off. Very good sound from one of the best musical acts in a long time.

Re: New Coldplay album
 

Never really been a big Coldplay fan but this album is pretty good. Viva la Vida definitely stole the show...with lines like "I know Saint Peter won't call my name" it can't be denied!
