Exactly, I would only expect them to give the album a shitty grade.

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/c/coldplay/x-and-y.shtml

 

oh an indie music fan that just believe a review he reads :surprise: man if you like indie music you must read several sources not believe just one. :dozey:

I wonder how bored the character that started this thread must be. Coming onto a forum to piss off people. Sheesh. That is sad

i dont base my opinions of albums on some half-arsed writers reviews :dozey:

This music? Shit?

 

Nononono, Y'see it's the people like you who go out and buy the Crappy Frog and all the other shit thats making music bad

So why don't you pop back to Jamster and tell them to stop putting their shitty adverts anywhere and get some lifes

On a general standpoint, the guys totally right! (No Surprises here aye burns ;) )

 

But the truth is, he just wanted to stir some shit. We've all done it in the past! ALL OF US :wink3:

 

There may be 302 pages on Muse, whos last album was tiredly bland, but just because people like Muse and talk about Muse it doesnt mean they are the ONLY band they listen to. For example, what would be the point in me making a topic for The Talking Heads or Soundgarden when obviously there isnt going to be much of a response?

 

People talk about the bands they know others will care about, we do get the odd "Check this new band out..." thread but of course there is always very little response (Look at Britt's Song of the Week for that, sorry Britt :P)

 

Basically you take the most popular band you like and you post about it, like me posting about Radiohead or Smashing Pumpkins. I do like other music, less obvious music, like most people on here, but it would be pointless making a topic for such artists.

 

But whats really embarassing about this topic is peoples response to Socrates, randomly bringing up how he likes Blue, Britney or the Crazy Frog, thats one way to upset him. :stunned:

 

Socrates, in closing, you hit me as one of those people who are so afraid of losing their underground credibility that they miss out on new and exciting popular music. But go on, you can suffer from your own pretentious intelligence...

i love that crazy frog, he's my mate :stunned:

Upset him , yesh! that's the idea big boy :kiss: :P

To do so with baby style insults? :confused: He didnt even respond to them! They didnt deserve responses!

 

:sneaky:

 

Im just being a hardass :P Thanks for the kiss :uhoh:

mine deserved a response. :angry:

Well, i dont take this guy seriously so baby insults is what he deserves , besides he didnt reply to them because of his oh-i'm-too-good-too-reply-baby-insults attitute but because he just wants to annoy people here.I see it all the time on the official board ..especially from u2/radiohead fans so yup.

And i dont think i want to reply with my well-known 15k words serious reply again cos no matter what i say wont change his mind and no matter what he says wont change my mind either so why bother? It's a friggin mb and i have better things to do than arguing online so he'll have another baby insult from me if he keeps insulting people :P

 

and here's another kissy :kiss:

and one more for Lottita skywalker :kiss:

i love it. i absolutely love it when ONE person thinks they know so much more about music then everyone else and they believe it is their duty to let people know how much they don't know about music.

 

the self-righteous are always the most entertaining.

 

now let's all thank the nice man for taking time out of his busy day of doing [hopefully] much more important things that actually matter and teaching us all how wrong we've been...pfff liking music purely based on our own opinions and thoughts of what's good -- what were we thinking!!??

You people are hilarious. Of course I don't like Blue or Crazy Frog, but keep it up, I can always do with a chuckle. Although, that said, at least half of the kind of disposable pop music that charts is better than Coldplay, seriously.

 

I also love the people assuming I'm a U2/Radiohead fan. It's much easier to dismiss me when you can put me into your prepackaged notions. U2 are, for the most part, resoundingly terrible bar some of their earliest material, which only partially redeems them. And Radiohead, while responsible for two of the most important and brilliant records of the last decade or so, also make albums as horrifically boring as Hail to the Thief. I do like people talking about X&Y being Coldplay's Kid A, though, considering it's less edgy or interesting than the shitheap that is Pablo Honey.

 

Reilly, you are my new favourite boarder here for even mentioning Talking Heads. And then you went and spoiled it all by saying something stupid like 'Soundgarden' and 'Smashing Pumpkins'.

 

As for cold kitty, of course you should like music based off your own opinions. Unfortunately when you operate from within a tiny sphere of available music, your selection margins become pretty hindered and you start thinking, oh, I don't know, that Coldplay make relatively good music (here's a clue: they don't). All the music I have seen mentioned here is white commercial rock from the last twenty years, at most. And for the most part it's not even good white commercial rock. That's awfully depressing.

Also, cold kitty, that is the last time I will address you directly until you get rid of that Bravery avatar. They are the absolute worst of the rehashed dull thief-rock that has been doing the rounds since the Strokes stumbled out of the seventies with everyone else's music in their back pocket.

Reilly, you also started a thread about the Band, so I'm not sure what to think now. But I will shake your hand for that at least.

Isnt that what you did to all of us?

As much as I dont care about being your favorite "boarder" here, Talking Heads were an example.

 

I dont recall him saying he doesnt like Britney :uhoh:

Give me a second to go to the toilet first...

Britney Spears's last album has more songs on it that are interesting to listen to than Coldplay's X&Y. No fooling. She and Chris Martin exude the same degree of sincerity and artistic credibility (read: none).

So, dear Socrates, if I may ask..

What kind of music do yóu like?

I'll tell you what. I'll compile a list of fifty records that came out this year that are better than X&Y.

Oh that's nice.. I'm waiting.. :P

Hahaha. I have said that somewhere as well.

 

Well I do find what I have heard from Britney's last album to be much more interesting and heading in a much more positive direction then X&Y.

 

But I look forward to the list, no copying and pasting now :sneaky:

It'll take me a while. I've heard a lot of albums this year.

He can't find 50 :P
