I also love X&Y, it is an excellent album! Their other albums were pretty good, from the snippets I hear, but X&Y is the only one that I currently own...perhaps it could be said that I am therefore biased...hmmm..Oh well, go buy X&Y people!  _________________ On the waydown they saw a lot they don't remember and if you asked them how, they couldn't say how they got there....... ~Modest Mouse |

aw, you're missing out. A Rush of Blood to the Head surpasses the greatness of X and Y by miles.

This could be Embrace, Keane, or Snow Patrol Thirteen Senses sound like this as well, I'm told It could be anyone; it's so hard to say Maybe this is actually Coldplay 'Cause everything sounds like Coldplay now Sorry, I just can't let a Coldplay thread go by without making a reference to that. And this. i always thought Coldplay sounded like simplified Radiohead circa The Bends with some Jeff Buckley vocal influence. i'm not the only one either. there was some funny Thom Yorke quote where someone asked him about all these bands sounding like The Bends and he said something like, "good luck with Kid A." ***edit*** i'm pleasantly surprised with this song. they got away from the Yellow formula (the quarter note build up scheme) and the Clocks formula aka Speed of Sound. here's a stream page: http://mog.com/Charley_Rogulewski/blog_post/159077 _________________ I am Torgo.

i like to sneak into the auditorium during the day and play the grand piano. sometimes people come in and sit down, but i normally play obscure things or things i've written, so every once in a while i'll play clocks to appease them. |

something about that guitar riff/solo sounded familiar and i think i've figured it out; think the riff in Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out, but maybe in a different scale or key. _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

Has anyone downloaded their new song, or at least listened to it? It is really good! _________________ On the waydown they saw a lot they don't remember and if you asked them how, they couldn't say how they got there....... ~Modest Mouse |

Maybe once there's a 320 kbps or CD-quality version I'll be able to pick them out without all that stupid compression. If you still haven't figured them out, that's what my Winamp Lyrics Plugin says: Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fog, became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in honor When I'm dead and hit the ground A love back home unfolds If you love me Won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship With snow, far below If you love me Why'd you let me go? I took my love down to Violet Hill There we sat in snow All that time she silent still If you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me, Won't you let me know? As for the song... Dunno, sounds okay and has some interesting lyrics but it's really nothing very special for me. |

Better than pretty much any other Coldplay song, lyrically, except maybe "Spies". For all that, the song itself still does nothing for me. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

i think Spies is what made me get Parachutes. it got all that press and i dismissed it for being too much like Radiohead, but i think i watched a Spies live video and thought, "you know, i should give them another chance." _________________ I am Torgo.
