June 12, 200818 yr as expected, i guess. i was really hoping for 4, though. ah well. thanks for the tip! if i can find it anywhere tomorrow, which i might just be able to, i'll scan it and have it up by friday.
June 12, 200818 yr I think this should be a 4.5/5 I'm disappointed in this score. Then again, I never really had faith in RS for music reviews.
June 12, 200818 yr No surprises then, I guess. Better than the 3 I thought it would get. Wonder what they have to say? There wasn't enough cowbell for them. :laugh3:
June 12, 200818 yr There wasn't enough cowbell for them. hahahaha, oh man. i think on LP5, there NEEDS TO BE MORE COWBELL :P i expected 3.5 stars, but i had high hopes. whatever, they're usually pretty good reviews; not nearly as snarky as other places. i do trust them on the most part, even though i do disagree on occasion. either way, i'm looking forward to reading it, and i think the painting that they're almost guaranteed to do could be nice too :D
June 12, 200818 yr VHV is at least a 4.5/5 star album, if not 5 stars. But since it's Rolling Stone reporting it, I'm not surprised.
June 12, 200818 yr I love My Morning Jacket, but Evil Urges IMO wasn't a 4/5 record. Even if it was, Viva La Vida was a much better album. To be honest, I kind of expected better reactions for this album. I know lots of critics complained X & Y was "too much of the same" - and when Coldplay changed it up, well..I just thought they would be all over it. Oh well. It's the fans opinions that really matter. And from what I gather, most of us LOVE Viva La Vida. :D
June 12, 200818 yr viva la vida is better than the DCFC album.... (and i really like death cab... ) i really REALLY liked the death cab album, more than most people, so i'm having a hard time saying which is better. i think they're about the same in terms of what they do for the artists and what they were trying to do... my point is that if DCFC got 4 stars, than coldplay should too, but i can't say i'm really complaining about the 3.5. that's the avereage for well-loved albums by the fanbase these days. i think this is an AMAZINGLY well-loved album by the fanbase, a loved album for most casual listeners and new fans, and a liked album by the critics. that's how these things usually work, and in that sense, i think that 3.5 is acceptable.
June 12, 200818 yr I can't say I'm thrilled but its still a decent score and hey they gave the new portishead album a 3.5 so at least coldplay is in very good company. Both are albums that deserve at least a 4 though.
June 12, 200818 yr i really don't care about the reviews. its just my paranoia that bad reviews won't lead to grammy nominations
June 12, 200818 yr that says everything ^^^^ from now on I just want the reviews to fuck up.... I only cared about the rs review because I want the album to get grammys
June 12, 200818 yr you are shitting me, right? Ha wow thats pathetic. My nieghbor had the album on full blast today and it sounded horrible. Heres the link: http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/album/21080575/review/21127308/tha_carter_iii
