July 17, 200916 yr Old Coldplay. watch a Clocks performance of 2003, then of 2005 and then 2008. There is nothing more to say. The 2003 performance makes me almost cry and the 2008 just doesn't. :o I actually like the 2005 version best, the one with the countdown is :heart:age But I agree, they've just lost their... like, emotional integrity. :\ All they do now is put on a show rather than making real music. Blargh.

Blargh. They're trying to go artistically forward and do something that hasn't been done before, but in quite a few areas they're recycling or developing on ideas from other bands. Also all the showy stuff distracts you from the raw emotion of the song methinks.
July 17, 200916 yr Saying "I like them both" isn't answering the question. It's asking which you prefer. I like both, but I prefer the old. Eh...methinks you need to take this up with the pollmaker then. I voted "I like them both" because the option was there. Had there only been two options, "new" vs. "old"........I probably would've abstained. :lol:

July 17, 200916 yr Nothing can beat AROBTTH for me. Although I do still love the new stuff. Voted old.
July 17, 200916 yr I don't really mind both eras, but i find I like their earlier stuff a lot better so i voted for old. I think that they are trying to explore new grounds in terms of music styles, but at the same time i think that they are loosing a little bit of themselves which to me made their first albums so good.
July 17, 200916 yr Beautiful video... Makes me sad thinking that I've never known them like that :disappointed:
July 17, 200916 yr I like them both, but also prefer the older Coldplay music which is really more magical than the newer.
July 17, 200916 yr Define "old" I see their style as ever-changing with each album. Parachutes: softer, sweeter songs and very simple casual dress and very still on stage AROBTTH: intense, rougher music, black stage uniforms, live shows more arena-rock feel X&Y: more movement on stage, spacier songs, more focus on effects live VLVOD: pop-ier songs with less rock elements, over-the-top stage presence and stage attire No 2 eras are the same really. Well said.:)

August 14, 200916 yr I said new because to me they get better and better every album. Parachutes was amazing, but every new album gets better! So it's not so much that I don't like their old stuff, because I love it so much, it's so amazing:D, but every new album is MORE amazing somehow!:shocked2:
August 14, 200916 yr X&Y deserves more credit than it gets. Yessir! My opinion is: VLVODAAHF + X&Y >>> AROBTHH + P
August 14, 200916 yr For me it's both. Like some already said, they have been changing over the years and each album has a different ambiance, a different environment. So I love each step they took with from different perspectives.
August 14, 200916 yr There both good, but I prefer old, but I'm not saying they shouldn't have made the new and stuck with the old Coldplay either
August 14, 200916 yr Well, I love them both, but I think I prefer the "new" Coldplay. I think the lyrics on VLV and Prospekt's march are better than ever.. But again, I love all their music (except like 3 songs)! :D
August 15, 200916 yr Yessir! My opinion is: VLVODAAHF + X&Y >>> AROBTHH + P Agreed. Well, I love them both, but I think I prefer the "new" Coldplay. I think the lyrics on VLV and Prospekt's march are better than ever.. But again, I love all their music (except like 3 songs)! :D Agreed 2. There's so much more to 'new' Coldplay. P and AROBTTH are good records but if they'd stayed the same I don't think I would like them as much and they certainly wouldn't be one of my favourite bands. I just think Viva is better than the other albums in pretty much every way. I'd love it if they topped it and I think they can.
