Both had HUGE expectations

 

Both had GLOWING initial reviews

 

Both albums had EVERY song written as an epic

 

Both albums are OVERLY long

 

Both albums are WAY over-produced

 

Both albums were overly SAFE and boring

 

Both albums FLOPPED (just wait for X&Y to sell less than half of what

AROBTTH did)

 

Both albums caused a massive BACKLASH against each band (wait for it in

Coldplays case)

 

The only difference between the two albums is that Be Here Now is listenable

and quite good in parts. X&Y is music for grannies. Thems are just the

facts.

 

honestly---I wanted so much from this album----but it is absolute SHITE :(

So I'm a granny? :/

I may be the mother of grannies, considering how much I love X&Y. Quite a title, at 21!

mother of grannies? Then you're the grand-granny.. Master of Grannies :P

I luff the new album, am i a granny too? :(

 

we should have a club :P

Yeah, the Grannies :cool:

:lol:

sweet. OMG how many bad critics will I read about that? Tomorrow I'm gonna buy the album...I've got quite scared now :confused:

 

I just can say...Be Here Now bores me after some time...

I'm not gonna read and believe all bad critics.. even if that makes me a granny :/

Believing bad critics is useless...I don't really like the album until now...but that can change any second..

Bye the way, everyone has it's own taste...

This is absolutely not the case with X&Y, just look at the presale numbers. It's huge, this album will definately be a big success in terms of sales.

 

:D

"what do you say lyla?"

 

i say shut the f**k up!

 

:D

 

GRANNIEEES :D Maybe we shóuld have a club :P

I'd definitley join. Granny and Proud! :lol:

:D I totally agree with that..

Power to the Grannies!

but if coldplay hit out with somthing as crap as 'standing on the shoulders of giants' (oasises 4th album) that would be coldplay down the drain

Am i alone in regarding Be Here Now as a fuckin good album? Alot of the songs are really really long but if u actually have the attention span to listen to it all, then it's a good set of songs! As for you dcbc, i suggest u go to the oasis forum and bitchslap coldplay, you're dishing out unfair and unconstructive criticism.

 

balls.

Be Here Now is a good album, but X&Y is much better. Plus Coldplay weren't doing lines of coke while recording X&Y, while as Noel and the rest of the band were doing so during the Be Here Now sessions.

lol, I just listened my firs song of it. Fix You. And didn't like it too much. :/

dcbc, I know a posting such as yours is so pathetic in its execution that it shouldn't even warrant a response but I must put in my 2 cents. If you are serious about x&y=be here now, and you are not some kind of sad oasis troll then you have no ear or inkling of what good music is. I own Be Here Now and it is RUBBISH compared to Oasis's previous albums. X&Y holds its own quite remarkably well with its two predecessors. I know it's hard for you take dcbc, what with oasis not being even close to a shell of its former arrogant pugilistic self. Just because coldplay owns oasis doesn't mean that their third album in any way resembles the brilliance of X&Y.

Well, BHN is still the fastest selling album in the UK history (750,00 in first week), but in the long run sales dropped dramatically. For example, when 'Don't Believe The Truth' was released some of the old albums came back to the top 100 (that always happens with every band btw, when a new album is out the old ones sell more) and BHN was not there, but WTSMG, DM and HC were. But I wouldn't say an album that sold over 7 million copies flopped.

 

I think X&Y will be similiar in a way that Coldplay will never have so much hype over an album release like they're having now. I believe the casual music listeners will lose interest in Coldplay, but they're still gonna have a large fanbase. That's not Coldplay's fault in any way, the casual music listeners don't really appreciate good music and just get bored after a while.

 

Like Noel said, the tilte of BHN sums it up; you had to be there at that time to fully enjoy all the things that today are considered its weakness. I don't think X&Y will be like that at all 5 years from now, so in this they are very different.

 

btw, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is a great album. It's different from what Oasis used to do but I love it.

:D I totally agree with that..

Power to the Grannies!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

X&Y....granny music? Are you serious? X&Y is the least granny of all three albums...

^....seriously :cool:
