What score will Pitchfork give Coldplay?

Featured Replies

The highest rating they've ever given Coldplay. It's pretty much spot-on.

It's like you're tryina come back at me but you've just got like one jpeg saved on your computer, and you've only really got a few sentences in the tank before you start a post.

 

The wheels aren't really turning upstairs, are they?

 

you are just a groupie

You should. I have powers. Powers that will make you cower
It's true :stunned:

no, fuck you stupid french son of a bitch
Okay, now that's just plain rude. You might not agree with Kiame's take on Coldplay or how she deals with Corcus, but that's no reason to go swear like that.

Do like Kiame's avatar: Peace man. :dazzled:

Nice to see that pitchfork didn't ruine the review of the new Coldplay. It's not hipster to like MX, I get that, but they gave it a good rating anyway :lol:

[not saying anything about the review itself :S I just mean ruin as in put Coldplay down just for the sake of it.]

You're such a smug fella, ain't you? It's a pity I don't know what the word patronising means, because I think if I did I'd probably think you were being it.

 

Writing "RIP COLDPLAY" because a band took an artistic direction you didn't like is soooooo high brow. Man, my tiny brain can't even imagine what went through your head. Whatever it was, it must have been pretty smart. Only smart people do shit like that. Because a band is objectively awful if they dare to veer off the track from the type of music you like. Yeah, they're totally DEAD. HOW DARE Coldplay create any type of music that isn't generic indie-hipster stuff? I saw your "30 best songs of the year" (Don't even get me started on the amount of intelligence that must have required. Tell me, what is it about a song that makes it the 26th best song of the year and not the 25th? That doesn't sound arbitrary at all) and every single band played in around about the same genre. So it's pretty evident you just don't like the music Coldplay play any more. Sorry, but Coldplay haven't been making that type of music for about seven years. Why the hell you still here, man?

 

Oh and bashing Coldplay? WHO HAS EVER DONE THAT BEFORE? You're such a pioneer. You are one cool, edgy man. I wish I was like you. I can't even think of one person who bashes Coldplay and hates their new "MAINSTERAM!" pop directions. You genius. How did you come up with any of these "independent" thoughts?

 

It must be pretty amazing being you. Wasting your time on a webpage dedicated to a band that has "died" according to you. Just lurking around, waiting for someone to make a positive comment about the album before you come in and say something incredibly smug and pretentious that proves to everyone just how much of a refined musical pallet you have.

 

But really, the only reason you still fuck about on here is because you love the attention. Surely. Otherwise what the hell you are doing on a fan site dedicated to a band you don't even like, and haven't liked during any period of recent history? Or are you just a masochist?

 

 

:clap:

The THIS IS A COLDPLAY SITE WHY ARE YOU HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM ANYMORE argument is so dumb. Or maybe it is ok for people who never made friends around here, or people who only knows the coldplay section of the forum.

Favorite post on the forum right now.

BEST POST EVER!!! WAY TO GO TO KILL OFF THE COLDPLAY HATER ;) :)

The THIS IS A COLDPLAY SITE WHY ARE YOU HERE IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM ANYMORE argument is so dumb. Or maybe it is ok for people who never made friends around here, or people who only knows the coldplay section of the forum.

 

If you read my post, and that's all you took from it - I gotta question your comprehension.

 

My argument has more to do with the way he goes about it all.

I'm ashamed I used to be one of you guys who would blindly worship everything they did and couldn't take an ounce of criticism. :facepalm:

 

I'm going to continue hating just because it annoys you guys so much. I've been on this forum for several years and joined during a time where I had been a longtime fan but had wavering confidence. But I stuck with them for the time being because I still saw redeeming qualities in them. Those qualities are gone.

 

Wake up, guys. There's nothing wrong with still liking Coldplay, but I see a lot of posts around these parts about how Coldplay is the only band people listen to, and that clouds your judgment immensely.

 

And yes, I am better than you, deal with it. ;)

^ We don't "blindly worship" stuff that Coldplay does. Some people like the album, and that's fine. It's not like Coldplay is the only thing I ever listen to (I'm looking forward to Florence next week almost as much as I was looking forward to Coldplay). 2011 is a great year for music.

 

It's just that some of us like the new album. It's not a crime. By you saying we're "blindly worshipping" them implies that it's an overarching fact that the album sucks when clearly professional reviews (although I don't like citing them) and fans alike have varying opinions and we're cognitively capable to formulate an opinion based on what we like and what we don't like. Pitchfork's positive review is evidence of this (and yes, Pitchfork is better at reviewing stuff than you).

 

I say that we are more critical because you guys come on here and say "the album sucks...3/10" without saying anything else and clearly (as you say so in the post above) you're just trying to annoy people.

 

I don't really care (come on and say whatever you want...just like I'm allowed to go on the Florence thread or the Muse thread and say whatever I want) but you're being incredibly naive if you don't expect a backlash coming your way. On a Coldplay fan site.

I knew that!!! right??

 

Joel is a nice name.

Bahahaha, I had a good run, but you guys are right about one thing, and that's what started as entertaining trolling of fangirls on my part has basically become a nuisance, so I'm toning out down now that the horse is dead. The battle was fun but it doesn't have a point anymore, so time to withdraw. Well played, everyone. Apologies for any hurt feelings.

 

So yeah, I'll still be vocal about my disappointment, but I've gotten it out of my system by this point, so the purposely provocative posts will now revert back to the old Corkus who pops out of his hole every now and then for a lousy joke or two. :P

I'm ashamed I used to be one of you guys who would blindly worship everything they did and couldn't take an ounce of criticism. :facepalm:.

 

And this is exactly why your posts annoy me. You act so terribly arrogant. You see me defending MX and calling you out over the way you are going around trashing it, and you assume I'm a fan girl.

 

I don't "blindly worship" anything Coldplay does. I'm yet to see someone on the forum give a harsher review of X&Y than I have. I rate X&Y much lower than you rate MX.

 

But of course, you don't really care in taking the effort into actually looking at a person and seeing what they think, you just prefer to call us "fan girls" because we get annoyed when someone likes you just rolls in and trashes everyone without offering any discussion value at all.

 

"PARADISE ISN'T EVEN A SONG!"

 

Is classic example of one of your posts. That's not opinion, that's not insightful, that's just baiting people into confronting you.

 

And you wonder why some people take issue with your posts.

 

I understand completely why people don't like the new album. I understand completely why you don't. The artists you chose for your thirty best songs of the year were all in the same field. You clearly aren't a fan of the type of music Coldplay make right now.

 

And that's totally fine. I don't care that you hate the album, at all. If I cared if people didn't like the album I wouldn't get any sleep - because there is someone on here expressing negative opinions literally ever hour. However 90% of them actually have a grasp their own egos and manage to do so thoughtfully and respectfully.

 

What I care about is the way you go about doing it and how rude you are. This post proves exactly what I'm talking about. Calling me a fangirl and assuming I don't listen to any music other than Coldplay.

 

And don't say just because you weren't directly talking to me doesn't mean you weren't targeting me. You clearly were - and many other people you would call "fan girls" who I will stick up for too.

 

 

lot of posts around these parts about how Coldplay is the only band people listen to, and that clouds your judgment immensely.

 

A lot of posts? I've seen one person say that the whole time I have been here, and that is JoeCortazzo. The reason why I remember was because I was blown away by the fact he only listens to one band.

This thread is insufferable. It simply needs to die.

As a man who listens to nearly every genre of music out there, and therefore has an easily comparable range of taste in music to yourself: Coldplay is still my favorite band, and MX is some of their best work ever. I realize that you're from SoCal, where for the most part half the population listens to indie stuff and the other half listens exclusively to pop, and you can't risk appearing to sympathize with anything even faintly resembling the latter. :P But that just doesn't excuse your insufferable pretentiousness, which seems to be merely an affectation to make you appear "cool". All it actually does is make you unlikable. Now, just go ahead and admit that you listen to MX on repeat every time you're alone, and everything will be fine. ;) As they say, "can't we all just get along?"

Ooh, entertainment and brouhaha!
