I think after X&Y Coldplay needed to be pushed and needed new people in their 'group' (Brian Eno, Davide Rossi, Jon Hopkins) to make a new sound. But I agree Insides is an immense album and I'd love to see Jon Hopkins do more Coldplay stuff with Eno.

Well no doubt they needed a push after X&Y, I think everyone would agree on that.

 

why do you hate X&Y?

 

the didn't necessarily need a push, just the songs were I guess, a little similar, the wanted to completely re-invent their sound, which they did.

it's not a bad record, listen to it completely with no criticizing, you'll like it

I don't dislike X&Y at all but, in my opinion, any more of that style and it would get boring - I think they needed outside intervention.

I don't hate it, it's just that if there was an X&Y 2.0 for LP4 I think everyone would have been ill. It's an okay album, but too many songs.

I don't understand how you can say there at too many songs.

we complain we didn't get enough off of viva.

twelve with a bonus was a good amount, if it was 14 or something then that'd be too much

 

13 songs at a total of over an hour is a bit long for my liking.

 

Do we complain about not getting enough on Viva? I don't see one complaint screaming "MOAR" here.

I don't want to say that "thanks to Eno Coldplay has won many awards and prizes", even though I know Chris Martin would jokingly assume that... but instead I'll add that if you count that it was Brian Eno who sent a letter to the boys telling them to return to the studio after releasing Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends because he had noticed something special on Jonny Boy that had to be developed, and if you count all the huge musical improvements

of Jonny on all these festivals, with whole new sounds, songs, fixes, it's all enough to say Eno is very much needed on Coldplay, as well as Hopkins.

X&Y's the dullest album in my opinion. They sound too comfortable for me.

 

Viva's fantastic, and as for the whole Eno influence, he didn't write the songs, Chris did. Eno was an influence, you can't blame him for that.

 

It shows that they only perform one track from X&Y these days imo.

I want "Sex and Violence" to make Mylo Xyloto since Hopkins co wrote it with Martin. It was registered in the ASCAP/BMI music database so I does have copyright I'm assuming. We'll just have to wait and see until they release a proper track listing. :wink3:

 

I just hope it samples the song I posted earlier
