Poor Reception of X&Y outside of this Forum

Featured Replies

I don't get some people... I really love this new album. They needed to evolve. You can't aspect that they bring out a second parachutes or a second rush of blood...

 

Well even the biggest critics (ME) expected an evolution of some sort, but this is incredibly basic to me.

What did yoy expected then? A combination of parachutes and a rush of blood to the heda?

 

Im not replying if its going to be to STUPID posts.

 

Well, replying or responding, whatever.

i for one expected more heda. :angry: :idea2:

I'm not like WOWing about X&Y, maybe it has to grow on me

I don't know :(

Does it have any of the heart and soul that an album like "Parachutes" had? Absolutely not.

 

i feel the same way. good CD overall, it's just a slightly different band.

Oh, finally I don't feel alone now.

 

It's my exact feeling about that album.

having listened to all of the new album now i can honestly say i think it is in league withe the other two. comparison is going to be inevitable but ultimately i think that they are so different that it would be difficult to do so, i like all of the albums just about equally :nice: but i'm liking their new style, rockier doesn't necessarily mean less passion or soul.

If ths album don't fit you right, smoke a little herb....Then come back and listen. I'm sorry for those that don't like this album. It's still FUCKING COLDPLAY!!

:stunned: :o

 

Whoy...just because you love Coldplay doesn't mean you have to love every single song/album. Relax a little! :)

so? do i have to love the album because i liked the other 2? :thinking:

Sorry :) I got real pissed reading that short review at the beginning of this thread. I need to realize that there are going to be haters. I just think this album is divine and am a little bummed out about the response.

"Its uncreative. It doesnt go anywhere. Theres no structure"

 

Sorry but are you having a laugh here or something, cos you must be listening to a different album than me. :stunned:

Well, it's a bit sad, but if you compare that X&Y with the 2 old masterpiece albums, that's quite true.

 

They are really simpified (banalized) their musical structure.

 

Another important signal (for me personally) is that when I was listening to the old Coldplay I was always fascinated and runs to get guitar or to the piano to play and sing all their songs.

 

This thing with X&Y songs has still never happened.

so? do i have to love the album because i liked the other 2? :thinking:

 

No. You're entitled to your opinion. I just don't SEE how you could have a problem with this album. It's change, it's good.

after the first listen i tought some song were good some not,but didnt know what to think of the song x and y.after a couple of listens,i think its the best song

Although.. I think we can all agree.. even if this album doesn't compare to Parachutes... it's still the best CD release that anyone has seen since AROBTTH!

:cool:

 

and also, I think your missing the point.. it's not that XY isn't as good as former albums ... it's just *not* parachutes... it's like comparing apples and oranges... both fruits - but different and fantastic for different reasons...

 

make any sense? :confused:

 

Really? Have you heard Don`t Believe The Truth, sorry mate, as much as I like Coldplay, this album just blows X&Y away.

The tracks on Oasis`s album are very different from each other, each one is unique and an amazing track, maybe with exception to The Meaning Of Soul.

The only really good track on X&Y is White Shadows, with the rest being samey and moany.

Speed Of Sound suddenly sounds a whole lot better.

This album is quite a disappointed :(

Who the hell is talking about Oasis? :o Try and keep it to Coldplay, mkay? Comparing other bands never gets us anywhere.

Erm...he said its the best CD released since AROBTTH, I was correcting him.

NEW OASIS DOESN'T EVEN APPROACH THIS. PLEASE

There is no need for "correction" when those are both opinions...

NEW OASIS DOESN'T EVEN APPROACH THIS. PLEASE

 

Really? well, I think people`s opinions speak for themselves, and I don`t mean the critics, I mean the people who are discussing it on other music forums.

 

I like Coldplays fist 2 albums, but X&Y is just a bad album

^ this is why I think there's gonna be another album, because it's not that good :(

Sorry man, NO WAY. Heard new Oasis whom I used to adore and still like and yes Don't Believe is a return to form for them but doesn't approach Coldplay's new release. This album may be a dividing line amongst Coldplay fans. I'm at a loss as to how this album is disappointing. as I've said before, the coming weeks and months shall tell the tale :sneaky:

this album sounds like the songs will be better performed live

 

take What If and Fix You

 

Fix You is better live than the studio version, hell I wish they put the SNL version on the album

 

The point is, What If sounds overproduced :(

MY WORD!!!! ALBIE HAS A POINT :shocked:

this album sounds like the songs will be better performed live

 

take What If and Fix You

 

Fix You is better live than the studio version, hell I wish they put the SNL version on the album

 

The point is, What If sounds overproduced :(

 

 

Agreed about SNL and live Fix You, amazing. Can't wait to hear these songs live :D

thanks Reilly :(

 

I have to deal with this album for 3 years,

 

I'm gonna buy X&Y, I'll probably hear Parachutes and AROBTTH more than X&Y
