noonsun Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospekt. Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Nothing can beat AROBTTH for me. Although I do still love the new stuff. Voted old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 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.

Jiminy Cricket Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 VLVODAAHF = AROBTTH > Parachutes > X&Y ... Abstaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onute Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I like them both, but also prefer the older Coldplay music which is really more magical than the newer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 X&Y deserves more credit than it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matter-Eater Lad Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 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.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keddie Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Niguez Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 X&Y deserves more credit than it gets. Yessir! My opinion is: VLVODAAHF + X&Y >>> AROBTHH + P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoverInJapan Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 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.

Open-Politik Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohemul Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostsides Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
