manofkent Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I saw Coldpaly on Saturday at Sydney's Acer Arena. I have all of their albums but have never been a huge fan, yes I thought they were good. Well I was blown away, totally. What a brilliant concert. I have seen lots of groups including oasis and U2 both three times. Coldplay trumped them easily and this was the best concert I have seen. I had not really appreciated their music before. I actually listened to the lyrics and when they did Fix You, The Scientist and The Hardest Part I just struck a chord. I love all their albums and have been listening to them exclusively all this week. One question though is that I would say X&Y is my favourite but it's onside4ed their worst. It's great when you are running. I love all those big stadium sounding songs. Why do people hate this one so much?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinFan Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I love X&Y, I am glad the concert opened up your eyes to the brilliant things they bring to the stage. It' so cool to hear people come away from a Coldplay Experience with a sense of appreciation for what they bring to us. This was the best selling album worldwide in 2005, alot of critics thought it fell way short of AROBTTH album Tidbit: 60 songs were written and 52 of them were ditched. I tell ya, every song to me was great, I really didn't like the hidden track Til Kingdom Come tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fat Noises Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I think some people didn't like X&Y because they thought they were just trying to write songs that would sell or that might have been how the band actually felt themselves? i forget haha, but i adore X&Y, cant see why its seen as their worst!

Malcolm-Edge Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Viva La Vida was written to sell. Im glad you realized how good they are live. I have the fortune of seeing them 3 times this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majgirl Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I love X&Y far more than Viva, so your not alone. Glad you enjoyed the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofkent Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Since Saturdays concert I have turned into an avid Coldplay fan. I have been listening exclusively to their albums in my car to and from work and still love X&Y the most. I think it is a stunning album perhaps a first amongst equals. I think their next album will quite probably be the biggest selling album and downloaded in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librahi Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 X&Y is a brilliant album. Any album with Fix You and Swallowed In The Sea is brilliant. I can listed to those songs 5 times a day (and I do) and cry every time. I'm a 30 year old straight guy, music lover, and yes damnit, I cry every time. They are just unreal songs. White Shadows ranks up there close to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
