Sorry if this is old news! I didn't see it on the PM review thread or anything, so I thought I'd post...

 

Anyway, weirdest review ever, I think. Lost+ is the only song worth downloading? What the hell?

Prospekt's March EP

2008

 

This EP collects recordings from the sessions for Viva la Vida, Coldplay's most sonically tricked-out record, but the new songs feel too conservative after Viva's world-music-laden sprawl. Though "Rainy Day" finds Chris Martin crooning brightly over strings and swelling electronics, the swooning "Glass of Water" feels heavy-handed, and the atmospheric "Prospekt's March/Poppyfields" suffers from imagistic lyrics about "people talking without speaking." Fans should download "Lost+" — featuring a great Jay-Z cameo — and skip the rest.

ROTFLMAO

That's an unfortunate review.

I'd say

 

 

Fans should download all the tracks except "Lost+" — featuring a great Jay-Z cameo —

Just goes to show how far rolling stone has sunk this decade.

I vote we flood it with comments and 5 star reviews :P

 

But seriously, it just shows that whatever Coldplay do, they can't please these guys. The old stuff is too soft, but Glass of Water is too "heavy-handed". First Chris' lyrics are too bland, now they're too "imagistic".

 

*kicks wall*

Exactly what i was thinking :D

Meh.

rolling stone! :angry: i have more faith in you!

*wags finger*

 

glass of water and LIT2 are the best things on there, and some of the best things to come out of 2008 for them, IMO. i can't believe they didn't like GLASS OF WATER...

 

*mumbles to self in rage while stumbling away*

I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING. HAHAHAHA.

RandR sucks

bhahaha this review is silly.

" and the atmospheric "Prospekt's March/Poppyfields" suffers from imagistic lyrics about "people talking without speaking.""

 

Seriously. :stunned: I don't care if it was Nickleback they were saying that about.

 

THE. LAMEST. DISS. EVER.

 

I can't believe anyone professional said anything of the sort.

Meh.

These guys obviously take drugs..... download nothing but Lost+.

Cool. My subscription to RS just ended.

RS have fallen in their standards.

^ Indeed I mean I love everything but Lost+

Seriously, it's not even worth complaining about when they think the only decent bit of music on the whole E.P. is 30 or so seconds of rap stitched into a song everyone already has.

^ Yup! According to Rolling Stone, the best part of Coldplay's new EP is the part that isn't Coldplay :P I was pretty baffled when I read it...

 

Off topic- alyssa, AWESOME avatar! :nice:

Funny, the song they suggested is the only one I actually hate.

Chances are, if you're a fan, you're going to want all of it because you're a fanatic.

I didn't even put lost+ on my ipod, that is the only coldplay song I've ever done that for. RS is crap now.

Wow, RS...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

 

 

Such crap
