Iusedtoruletheworld Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Not sure if this has been posted, but looking at PM's wiki page, I stumbled upon this review. http://www.nme.com/reviews/coldplay/9998 they give it a 6/10, looks like this person isn't too high on experimental stuff. And to be honest, whoever uses the f-bomb in a review isn't professional to me IMHO. Take it as you wish. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade of Sound Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 True. Not very professional. Heck, just looking at the bloody font just tells me that it isn't a very creditable review, despite the fact it's by NME. Take it with a pinch of salt.

everybodystilllovesandrew Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Dude should be fired. The whole thing sounds like he forced by NME to review it. Also only things mentioned about actual songs, we've already herd. May have only herd exactly what we've herd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasoKnight Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The weirdest thing is that he refers to "Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground" as stripped-down and acoustic guitar-led, which sounds totally different the the review by The Sun.

Thompson Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 NME is fucking shit anyway Theyre woo too mainstream indie (yes indeed) to be a respectable magazine anymore. They called Morrissey a Racist, They said the Klaxons were the band of the year, And that Alice Glass from Crystal Castles (diabolical) is the coolest person of 2008 Slate Coldplay? You have gone too far. Is anyone with me or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There he is actually referring to Life in Technicolor II. But that's what makes me most skeptical about this idiot, he never actually mentions the song Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground.

footyfan10 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yeah he was. I really didn't understand after The Sun's review. I really hope the NME guy is wrong. I'm not saying I won't like a stripped down guitar song, but I liked thinking about a bombastic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiminy Cricket Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Fuck the NME. Their credibility vanished long ago. NME = ENEMY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagbal Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If the review was 10/10, we were all excited and we loved NME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Since the band became 'big', NME is always trying to bash them... No surprise they didn't like PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iusedtoruletheworld Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 If the review was 10/10, we were all excited and we loved NME. No, it's the fact NME has always degraded Coldplay, and that this review could've been made my a fucking teenager with no professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kon Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 It sounds like the reviewer is bashing the band for releasing the EP on it's own and also as a bonus disc to the album. But you can bet when it comes to reviewing the Glasvegas re-release of their album with bonus christmas tracks it will get a 10/10 review. The NME lost it in 2001. (But on another note, taking a look at the future releases on Amazon, Coldplay are not the only band re-releasing albums with bonus cds/tracks, quite a few artists are, to rid off the fans who got the original album, only to have to buy the entire album again to get the bonus tracks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Smut Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The NME have never really bashed Coldplay. Sure they may make a few digs that everyone else makes about Coldplay but they do feature Coldplay alot. I know I havent read NME for a year or so but normally they have do have a lot of interviews an stuff with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
