.Rai Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Your opinions? It's pretty easy to hate them, pretty easy to love them. And just as easy to fall in between. They're so variable. I like them anyway. I think they're the masters of concept albums and are amazing at reinventing themselves with new genres, new instruments and all sorts of other stuff. Outside of that, I find it impossible to fault their drummer, Chris Martin has a seriously impressive falsetto, and their hooks are awesome. Also, pretty sure they're responsible for popularising the whole 'hidden track' thing on albums.

Night Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 http://youtu.be/dvgZkm1xWPE Don't think it's possible not to be absolutely infatuated with that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~NOiSE~ Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 They're have some cool songs, but overall they're not really my style. I prefer Radiohead~ Hidden tracks have been around a lot longer than Coldplay though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHFmangx5O0[/media] This made me love this album the second it came on. The main issue I have with people who don't like Coldplay simply because they've changed their style over the years is precisely that. If you're only reason for not liking a band is because they don't make music just like they did when they started, even if you'd like a completely new band who makes the same sort of music that they've started making more recently, that's a problem.

~NOiSE~ Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I haven't actually listened to any of the older stuff, but their more recent work doesn't really appeal to me. It's not bad, just not what I prefer to listen to. What's their their early stuff like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliminateHRN Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I haven't really listened to many of their songs, but I absolutely love The Scientist and Viva la Vida. It's a band I want to listen to more of once I get a chance to, but yeah, they're pretty good from the songs I heard. Also, in my opinion, Chris Martin is an incredible singer and the rest of the band are also pretty talented. But, yeah, Coldplay is one of the bands I need to listen to more, I just haven't had a chance to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~NOiSE~ Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hmm...other than the guitars being a bit more prominent, I don't see why people should complain. They haven't changed [i]that [/i]much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
