'A Spell A Rebel Yell' opinion by Washington Post

[coldpatrix]

Coldplay: "A Spell a Rebel Yell" At this point, Coldplay is probably as sick of itself as everybody else is, which explains why this track from the band's upcoming disc sounds more like an "Unforgettable Fire" outtake sung by shoegazers than a Coldplay song. That, and the fact that it was produced by Brian Eno.

Here's my review of the Washington Post:

 

The Washington Post is a typical NYT-wannabe paper that tries to straddle the fence by having a stronger political reporting team, but in typical DC fashion it completely skirts any serious effort at having a decent business page. The editorial board is weak, but not as bad as the NYT. In an effort to remain above-brow and keep circulation up (a feat no strategy employed by the paper thus far has achieved) they are currently taking to bashing the popular band Coldplay's obscure B-side tracks that very few people (other than diehard Coldplay fans and subscribers to NME with turntables) have ever heard.

Agree with saffire...only to report this article...

I wouldn't take it as an offence having this song compared to an Unforgettable Fire outtake..that album is class and so is ASARY (imho) :P

Nice!

it does sound very U2ish...which is fine with me because they are my favorite band....i like the song....

[CRYSTAL]

even when X&Y released some of these news papers attempted to write some damn things about coldplay.

 

even that time also i remembered reading this news paper.

 

but what at the end how many people loved it or not

 

but i liked X&Y that's all.

 

no other discussion.

"Unforgettable Fire" outtake sung by shoegazers than a Coldplay song.

 

Wow... they're trying really hard to sound like they know what they're talking about.

Well said, NYT and WP are both terribly run.
