Coldplay

I've been reading a lot of reactions on this board, from people who have been comparing X & Y to Parachutes and complaining that it doesn't stack up. Many consider Parachhutes superior. Some believe AROBTTH is superior as well. Many people seem to be disappointed. I, on the other hand, really love this new album. I must qualify this by saying that I am a huge Radiohead fan. What do I mean by this? Coldplay are following a similar trajectory that Radiohead followed in their early career. Don't necessarily take this statement at face value - I don't believe X & Y is much like OK Computer (Radiohead's third), but the similarity is that Coldplay's albums a…

http://s14.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0H8EAJRJ14BUY0A3YP609KHLPN I plan on covering a few from the new Coldplay album too :-) I have too many favourites !!

Coldplay only recieved three stars from Rolling Stone's Reviewer! HMPH! I was also saddened that they didn't make the cover...that honor belongs to the Dave Matthews Band. Anyone else shocked?! I seriously thought that they would get at least four stars, maybe even four and a half! Check it out for yourselves... http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/_/id/7372421/coldplay?pageid=rs.Home&pageregion=triple1

The world of music is incredibly diverse, housing many different sounds, textures, melodies, and rhythms. But it can be broken down into two basic categories: The "Showers" (not that place with water where you get clean) and The "Growers" Every album can be categorized into one of these two categories. Here is my thesis: "Growers" far outpace "Showers" in the long run. "Showers" are those albums that are surprisingly immediate - nearly every song is hummable and catchy and you like it from the very start. They're like candy for your ears. They're sweet, delectable, delicious and after one run-through you're blasting them out your car windows with the…

just think about it! just sign it over til kingdom come. when he begins.. Steal my heart... and hold my tongue sing at the same time this part thinking of Where the streets...: I want to feel, sunlight on my face.. it will merge perfectly with chris voice. its quite the same melody in the first part..... the rest isnt comparable when I first heard the song it was kind of obvious. am I on dope? can you notice?

is there a book with the biography of the members of Coldplay? sorry if this question's been asked before....

Hi guys could someone just put up a link for a rapid share to Square One and X&Y (the song)

Coldplay X&Y *** (three stars) Originally released: 2005 Capitol Records Inc. Coldplay didn't seem destined for bigness. Their 2000 debut, Parachutes, was full of drizzly but pretty rock ballads that were almost memorable enough to prevent American listeners from confusing the band with Travis. Of course, that album also included a huge, soaring song called "Yellow," which may well be inspiring a drunken singalong in your local bar as you read this. "Yellow" was a smash, but what came next was even smashier. In 2002, Coldplay released A Rush of Blood to the Head, which perfectly captured the heady feeling of a small band acting big. The band's sad-…

There is 2 performance clips of SOS and In My Place along with a little interview on yahoo.com now.I like the 2 performances.Johnny on the acoustic for both and chris on piano on both as well along with will and guy.I like the SOS performance you can hear the piano a lot more same for in my place i think it gives anothe element to the songs.The interview was pretty cool too.So go check it out at yahoo.com!

yeah, i am really confused and i am just looking for a straight answer...thanks a bunch

There's a lot fo new threads here about new coldplay album, but seems noone of you have noticied a thing... If you are Coldplay followers since Parachutes you know that they use to dedicate a song to a political things and also to support make trade fair (ofxam campaign). If i'm not wrong from Parachutes it's Spies, from AROBTTH is Politik, what you'll think will/is be the political song on X and Y?

In a dark vault in London a little treasure is being kept safe. In it lays 500 hours of film with Coldplay. According to singer Chris Martin, the band has had a film camera around since they started to work on their new album. Eventually they will make the tapes into a five-minute DVD. :stunned: mtve.com

so here's an interesting tidbit on the song yellow taken from a rollingstone article taken from their storytellers performance During Coldplay's performance, which was taped in Brooklyn in May and airs June 8th, frontman Chris Martin revealed the origins of the band's career-making 2000 hit "Yellow." "Originally, it sounded like a Neil Young song," Martin said. "And it was missing a key word, so I looked to the nearest book: It was the Yellow Pages. In an alternate universe, this song could be called 'Playboy." heh dunno if he's being serous but i've always wondered exactly what the deal was with the color.....anyways looks to be a good show, june 8th here in the s…

Hey. Can someone please post the dates and times and channels that Coldplay will be on Sirius Radio please??

Chris martin has just co-written a new songn for a brand new artist in the UK called Oggie. The track is called Sometimes and it's brilliant. you can here the track @ http://oggiestyle.co.uk

I really am amazed that so many people dislike this album, especially Coldplay fans! I've been listening to it non-stop since it leaked a few days ago. From Square One to TKC, there's not really one track that I don't like. Originally, I didn't care much for Low, but it's already growing on me. I'm a huge fan of both Radiohead and Pearl Jam, and though I'm sure it requires more time/more listens/etc. to truly decide, right now I think it's better than Riot Act and Hail to the Thief. Easily the best album to come out in the last few years, in my opinion. I like bands for different reasons. For instance, I love Radiohead because each album sounds fresh and, fro…

Got a tip from a pretty reliable friend that X&Y will be leaked tonight and supposedly, I'm getting a 192kbps copy :) lets see how this works out.

come tot he loop lounge thur june 2nd to listening party for coldplay presented by filter mag thelooplounge.com has details and directions giveaways all night cheers

.......Apart from Abie haters, Girl fans.They're all like "ooooooooooooh Chris is gorgeous,hes soooooo sexy etc etc".ITS NOT ABOUT LOOKS YOU HORMONAL FREAKS!,its about the technicalities of the music,the subtle nuances of the production,the flowing waves of the swirling synths.So before you post your girly crap please take that on board!. ........And yes,i probably am just jealous!.

that's my opinion, this new producer doesn't know what he's doing :angry:

Hola, acá les mando la traduccion del tema 'White Shadows' la version del cd. Espero que les guste, amo esta cancion!!! Hey, here's White Shadows spanish lyrics, from the album version, hope you like it, I already love this song!!! Paul / Pablo / ColdplayMind :) Sombras Blancas Cuando era un niño Trataba de escuchar Y quiero sentirme asi Pequeñas sombras blancas parpadean y resplandecen Parte del sistema, soy Si alguna vez sientes que algo está perdido? Cosas que nunca entenderas Pequeñas sombras blancas que parpadean y resplandecen Soy parte de un sistema, un plan Todo el humo que estoy despertando Todo el espacio que estoy ocupando Todo e…

I've been, for quite some time now, researching on a cheap way to make customs shirts @ home., and I have "discovered" steciling.. I had some ideas for stamps, but nothin concrete, so yesterday I decided to put all my ideas down and see how they'd look on a shirt.. here's the SoS shirt I came up with: [i came up with 9 more other shirts.., they all looked pretty cool, hope to eventually make them or even sell them]

Dam this isnt going good. Taking forever to load up anything. Trying to get Holmdel, NJ tickets. Madison Square Garden pages wont load. Anyone having luck?
