Miss Lestrade Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I hate how you say 'old' and 'new'. They're the same people! Bands evolve, it's a fact of life. Ā Ā And who said Viva La Vida (the album in general) was more like pop? Because that's crap.Ā Edit: People are focusing too much on the show they put on. Focus on the music. When you first listened to the album, before they started touring and wearing weird clothes, what did you think? "Losing their emotional integrity"? I don't think so.

When you first listened to the album, before they started touring and wearing weird clothes, what did you think? "Losing their emotional integrity"? I don't think so.Ā I know 'old' and 'new' aren't that descriptive but it's just an easy way of referring to CP then and CP now.Ā Viva la Vida (the song) is quite poppy - no bad thing - but I agree, the album itself is no more pop than their other stuff, maybe even less so. It might have to do with most of the songs being three to four minutes long?Ā I don't understand how wearing make-up and 'weird' clothes makes the music mean less? Maybe the same people who think this want the band to make Parachutes 2 and go back to UCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lestrade Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yes, you're right. The song is kind of pop-ish. But when the album itself is called pop, I get really pissed. :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boreas Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I like the first two albums better but I love how they explore for new sounds while still sounding like themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoosAnne Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I definitely prefer the "old" Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arantza Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I like both, but if i had to choose, I would probably like to see the "old" one more... I wouldn't change the new one though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrman78 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 So is old considered just pre-Parachutes and Parachutes era? That's when I first got into them, but I like the progression of their sound. Where is the division between new and old? I like both, but would probably go with new if the division starts with AROBTTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Niguez Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The "both"-option should be disabled. :dozey: It's about prefering, as Josh already said ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they didn't change sound that much on X&Y but it was the first record where you could tell they were trying to go down different avenues.

Zeya Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 To be honest it is very easy to get tired of VLVODAAHF. I do understand that bands cant repeat the same concept to stay fresh and come up with something new.. It's just that the concept they have this time around is not really my cup of tea. I do still love it, but I don't listen to it as much as I listen to other albums, or even the b-sides for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohemul Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Nah, Coldplay will always be Coldplay and Coldplay will always be the Best. Ā So I've figured out that I don't care about if it's New or Old. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lestrade Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I just hope they wear normal-looking clothes during the next tour. But not like the X&Y uniforms either. I thought those were ugly. :uhoh2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roche714 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I hate this question so much.You just cant compare.It's like saying did you like the old Beatles or the new.Totally different.People change,the world changes,times change so music has to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an angel Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I voted both... but I think I like the old Coldplay better. It's just that if it wasn't for the new Coldplay, I might not have ever even liked Coldplay. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy_o Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I voted both, but deep in my heart I know I love the old Coldplay more.Ā I don't think I'll be their fan because of Viva La Vida or Life In Technicolor though. It is songs like The Scientist and Fix You that turned me into a fan - the original Coldplay songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, even though X&Y is my overall fav album, AROBTTH is such a close second I couldn't say I like the 'new' more :lol:Ā I guess now they have had four albums, I like the middle ones the best! :lol: So I vote for 'middle' coldplay as being the best. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes! Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 though i like vlvodaahf and like it when people change - i like coldplay most without brian-eno-style. i think he made them more mainstreaming than they were before. the old coldplay was very touching, very heartily, very unique.Ā voted: the old coldplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
