Not sure if this has been posted, but looking at PM's wiki page, I stumbled upon this review.

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. ;)

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.

This was posted some days ago at Coldplaying.com News Index.

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.

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.

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?

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.

No, he's referring to NMFWTTG.

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.

Fuck the NME. Their credibility vanished long ago.

 

NME = ENEMY.

If the review was 10/10, we were all excited and we loved NME.

Since the band became 'big', NME is always trying to bash them... No surprise they didn't like PM!

Forget I posted anything.

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.

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)

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.
