 Post subject: Viva La Vida OR Death And All His FriendsPosted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 12:40 pm 
There's a vinyl post and a coldplay thread about other things but i couldn't find a place for us to share thoughts about Coldplay's new cd on opening day so i hope this is ok.. What do yall think of it? After listening to it 2 and a half times I'm excited over it! SPLENDID! _________________ "Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed." prov 16:3 |

I find it somehow even more boring and more pretentious than their previous release. _________________ EvilSpace |

I don't like their new cd. I think X&Y is a million times better. The only song I like form it is Violet Hill. I thought the rest of songs were gonna be like it. I guess they just wanted to try something new. |

As for the other dozen songs, some are good, but mostly I'm disappointed. It's OK though, I've got another pre-ordered album coming out very soon, Sigur Rós's með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. And thanks to extensive previews, I know I'll love it. |

Everything about this album is so much better than X&Y, yet it's still almost impossible to listen to because of Chris Martin's stupid $#@! lyrics and rhymes. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

For some reason, I also had high hopes for this album. I liked that iTunes commercial, I thought Violet Hill was alright, but the rest of it just bored me to death. I liked Coldplay a lot better when they were called U2. Meh, that joke works better with Creed and Pearl Jam. _________________ EvilSpace |

ah, here's the interview i mentioned in the other thread. i enjoyed it http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/21185368 especially this  :
What was his (brian eno) assessment of the band? He goes, "Your songs are too long. And you're too repetitive, and you use the same tricks too much, and big things aren't necessarily good things, and you use the same sounds too much, and your lyrics are not good enough." He broke it down. _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

Maybe it's because I played AROBTTH way too much back in the day, but I like this record better than it (and X&Y, ldo) Each song is solid, imo. |

Each song is solid, imo. Those who are dead are not dead They’re just living in my head oh… And since I fell for that spell I am living there as well oh… Time is so short and I’m sure There must be something more You thought you might be a ghost You thought you might be a ghost You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart!

I'm not picky enough to let one aspect of a song ruin it for me

He broke it down. I had to google this Eno fellow. This is how I felt about X&Y. If most songs were cut buy 60-90 seconds I'd like them more. It would fix almost everything wrong with Coldplay, the repetitiveness, bland lyrics, etc. The title track is the only song I could willingly listen to. I think it's annoying how some tracks aren't split when they hardly even connect to each other ("Yes", maybe another). A lame attempt at going for "epic". |

Nothing like cheesy string pizz. and synth/compressed timpani to add to intensity! _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

Honestly, I myself rather enjoy it. I've never been a particularly huge Coldplay fan before, having only heard some of their songs on the radio and liking them enough, but the iTunes commercial got me interested in the album and I've been listening to it quite often since getting it. Picking favorites, I'd have to go with Lost!, Viva La Vida, Violet Hill, Cemeteries of London and Death and All His Friends. Apart from those, the other's are not too bad, but I definitely agree that the needed to split some of the tracks (Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love, Yes, Death and All His Friends, etc) in two. |

I haven't even decided whether or not to waste my time torrenting it. The funny thing about X&Y was that I didn't hate it that much (though I immediately felt its inferiority to previous releases) until I began to read interviews with Chris Martin. I try not to base my opinion of a work on my feelings about the artist, but sometimes their personality shines through in an invasive manner. _________________
