what do you think im scared to think that it was : /

What do you mean by peak? Artistically? Commercially?

 

I always thought and still think AROBTTH will always be the best thing they've ever done. It's all about opinions I guess. We have not seen the last of Coldplay.

Commercially but artistically i see coldplay as two different bands band 1: parachutes-x&y band 2: Viva la vida-?

But yes i feel like artistically they have hit there peak but i still feel like its too soon to tell.

i think it depends on the person you ask. for me, they seem to have peaked...and just maintained their eternal awesomeness lol...

I hope we get to hear a couple more albums and then I'll tell ya. I kinda have feeling you were influenced to create this thread by ETiaW mostly...well, at least wait till they drop this album, it's too early to judge.

Not really i personally really like etiaw but i have recently found some of their older stuff I feel like artistically they should go more acoustic because some of my favorite songs are til kingdom come a message Green eyes see you soon and the scientist so i guess this is just my personal opinion lol

 

but after hearing christmas lights i wouldve loved if they went into that style of music that wouldve been absolutely amazing!

Que people defending their right to "evolve"

 

Personally, I think they commercially peaked with the Viva La Vida song.

I completely agree i do think they have the right to evolve in any artistic decision they decide im just putting my personal opinion out there.

Commercially, I agree with what several posters have said--it will be very, very difficult for Coldplay to top the commercial success of Viva la Vida.

 

Artistically, I would say either Viva or ARoBttH. Most artists' best work comes before the members reach (I believe) their late 30's, and if Coldplay are going to follow that example then LP5 will be one of their last chances to create their 'masterpiece'. From what I've heard from this new era, the songs will be fairly good, but not as mindblowing as say ARoBttH (song) or Clocks or Prospekt's March.

I'm just listening to Viva la Vida cd, and it's like fresh air! they were bold when they created this cd...

So they had 3 cds behind with lots of meaning in their songs...true meanings about relationships, advicing people for what they should do or think...world in general.

I guess, that Viva la Vida it's what the title means: Hurray to Life! They opt to intruduce more instrumental sounds with a new register of melodies...which is very welcome in my opinion! 3 cds before Viva had all of them the same kind of spirit - absolutly wonderful - but they needed to change, and the change with quality is welcome.

I'm afraid the fans of the first 3 cds will not enjoy ETIAWF either....cause it seems to be a joyable cd too, so we can see from the promotional song all of the coulours and positive meaning...which in my opinion a style of song like that in the world we live is more than WELCOME! And besides thank goodness they change styles time to time is good for their versatality and to bring a more avarage of public.

Artistically spoken, the oficial Viva la Vida video is in my opinon a master piece of them. The painting style is brilliant in my opinion. It's an epic song too.

Hmm...perhaps this album won't be all EtiaW-like (although you said you like it) and will have songs like UATW and Moving to Mars...Yeah, it sure will. Moving to Mars came quite as a surprise after everything we got to hear before it, including Viva La Vida imo. I'm not sure if anything I've just written makes any sense. :thinking:

its too soon to tell.

 

i agree.
