i've now listened to couple of their new songs , and i must say? where is the guitar? seems the purity of guitars and music have been wasted by modern FX and bad producers .

 

I always loved parachutes and AROBTTH and all the b-sides from that period . Coldplay at their best

 

and their own sound , now with the 2 last albums things have been changed dunt know what but they dont have te magic as before alot of new bands sound better . Just coldplay is so famous there getting al the attention.

I "m not a coldplay hater , hell i spent 8y with their music but i'm dissapointed

that you're dissapointed doesn't mean that it's the end of the band...

 

I'm sure some people will absolutely love the new album.. and some people won't.. but that's natural so I don't see any problem in it...

whilst i absolutley adore the new tracks, i will always love parachutes the most. theres just something so pure and simple about it

Don't shout hello before you've crossed the bridge.......seriously

 

 

freely translated, swedish saying. (=P)

lol, really optimistic :P I understand you, though. I just like the new stuff too much to agree with you.

And music can be good without a guitar btw.

hahah thanks for that...im so going to start saying that in english

They've got the rest of their lives to make Parachutes 2.0 if they want to. This is just one album.

hm i don't know if i look at their latest pic with the odd costumes , someting tells me their getting nuts :p.

I actually really like these new songs, but there's still the rest of the album...

I hear where you're coming from, altough I like this new path they're taking, I think I'd prefer it if they used more guitar, drums, and generally a cleaner, simpler sound.

violet hill have guitars and viva la vida dont. but have a guitar is not necessarly if they are really musicians its good that they play another instruments also and maybe the think youre expecting is in the album, 42 maybe.

 

who cares VLV and VIOLET HILL are marvelous.

Keane have done pretty well without guitars.

How can you possibly say it's the end? You're judging it on what.. your own personal taste? What about the massive success of Violet Hill?

life is all about change. if you don't change, how do you progress?

Oh no! The ending of Coldplay! You are such a wise and learned person to be able to make that decision after THREE SONGS. Seriously, man, take your doom and gloom elsewhere or at least hold out until you have heard the album all the way through, unless you're psychic you have no idea what it could contain and are not qualified to be making such statements, I'm sorry!

Brian Eno a bad producer????!!!!! :stunned: noooooo!!

 

 

i think the band is growing, as every greatband should. I haven't heard ANY of the new tracks as of yet, but I'm open.

No ending of Coldplay, the new Coldplay era just started. I think vlv is musically better than x&Y. I love the stringparts on Viva La Vida.

life is all about change. if you don't change, how do you progress?

 

well, you can change in different directions. you can progress, but also you can regress.

Before a progress there is regress, and vice verca.

so i hope x&y was their little regress before a huge progress in vlvodahf.

kinda like the transition between Parachutes and AROBTTH. :)

personally i just want them to do everything that they haven't done before. once i hear something that sounds familiar i'll be disappointed.

Reminds me of Talk, hahahaa!

 

Or a write a song nobody has sung or do

Something that's never been done

 

...

 

They certainly have!

The confusing part about some of these songs like viva la vida is it doesn't seem like it will translate well into the live show, even though coldplay told us that the music was suppost be more oriented towards the live show than X&Y. I expect the live performance of viva la vida will be very different from the album version.

wel its just i always loved the jonny buckland tone an his guitar rifs . maybe i re view my opinion about the new album when i completly heared it. and ly myself down coldplay is not the coldplay i used to know

where is the guitar?

 

have you even heard violet hill? ;)

You not liking their new stuff doesn't mean it's the end of the band :P

 

I think the new stuff is actually the making of the band. Soooooo many people have bemoaned the change, but what did you expect? They can't keep making the same old music over and over again, that's not what great artists do.

 

If you want old Coldplay, listen to their old CD's and if you're bored of them then listen to the hundreds of Coldplay style bands out there.

 

I love the new material, hearing VLV today has only affirmed this, it's fantastic, I love the new songs and can't wait for the new album :D
