The Final Track Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 That magazine should treat Coldplay better, since a lot of people read it here. What? I still think Rolling Stone is irrelevant now adays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Army Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I've got to admit, this has me pretty excited for Princess of China. I'm surprised, though, they didn't mention Charlie Brown. I thought that song was the "best thing Coldplay had ever done" according to the Q review. Not surprised...when RS reviewed the festival songs, they gave CB the lowest rating. If I remember correctly it was something like 2.5 stars. I think the next 3 singles are gonna be CB, PoC, and HLH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously one of the strongest songs on the album and a fan favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Has someone airbrushed that photo? It looks awful! I don't know. It's not that bad. Very....clean. And Chris is staring very intently. Guy looks homeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsu Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The music press (and mainstream press in general) are a joke. They would have all, without exception, given it between 3 and 3 1/2 stars no matter what it was like (the general press up to 4 1/2 stars). Words count (somewhat, and depending on the source). Scores don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footyfan10 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 that's really not true. for instance ..both bjork and wilco got 4 stars this past issue. i think 3. 5 is probably fair. i think viva was a 3.5 album i do not think X&Y was 3 stars ...4 stars i think what band out there makes songs like Fix You, Square One, and Twisted Logic? I honestly think the bad Rolling Stone review from X&Y (what they consider bad) is the reason they changed their sound so much with Viva La Vida. They really tried to pursue the art band path. Just from reading interviews where Chris seemed pretty let down by the feedback of the album. although, they got a lot of good reviews from XandY. screw R.S another opinion, another asshole I do wish Coldplay would go back to their more simpler songs...without all the layering etc.. Although, Christmas Lights...oh meh gawd. They are getting pretty good at the layering thing too. :) Lol dude it seems you're a newby because x&y was panned by everyone. What reverse world are you living in? Must be one run by coldplayers. Viva got much better reviews than x&y. Your personal preference does not represent the worlds.

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for posting and typing! :cheesy: They also had this as a full-spread ad near the beginning of the issue. Pretty cool! Note Will's "Car Kids." Ooh, well I can't deny that Chris looks hella nice, airbrushed or not...other photos looked worse from this era, photoshop wise, anyway. [/fangirl] So much for not doing ads, but that was broken during Viva anyway. And in continuation of the stubble era of X&Y, this also seems to be the chest hair era :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nails Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks very much! All those (well, most) reviews have me very excited, for POC in particular. It has to leak very soon, I'm losing my mind. And Chris Martin should stop getting more handsome because I don't want to become a fangirl. Okay I am a fangirl already. Occasionally.

Brent Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 So I'm sorry the old scans looked bad. I was on my tiny tiny laptop. Now I'm on my big iMac so the screenshot won't be so tiny. This is the last thing I'll upload, then I'll leave you alone :P. I just thought someone would want a higher quality version.

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 It's like the more photos I see of Guy, the shorter he gets in comparison to the others :lol: He's not even a short guy, just average!

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I was actually afraid he was going to kill me when I met him :P.

And I hear stories about him running and ducking into cars and stuff. Lame. Maybe he's been raped before by one or more of those crazy Berryman girls in the Coldplay section.
