Cheese Nip 2 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I never liked NMe, and not just cause they don't like Coldplay or Oasis. Everything they write is opinionated and they always hate on bands in their articles. There not professional and they don't write good reviews. Even if they gave MX a 10/10, I would still hate NME. You could say they're my arch NME. Oh God bad jokes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

para-para-parrotdies Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Everything they write is opinionated and they always hate on bands in their articles. I don't understand this portion - are you saying music reviews should not be opinionated? Aren't music reviews just the critics giving their own take/opinion on the album?

nothingtoseehere Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You could say they're my arch NME. Oh God bad jokes..... I lol'd. :laugh4: But I must say I do agree with NME this time... :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Escape Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 PoC got an 8/10 and the whole album got a 5/10 I don't get how this makes sense... If they liked the first 4 albums... and there are at least 6-7 songs that are more Coldplayish than PoC... I just... does not compute...

parsons210 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Stop reading reviews! Music is subjective. If you like it then great. If you don't then that's great too. I want to read about the style not what somebody's opinion is on it. Couldn't care two monkeys! Q tends to be one if the best as they tend to stick to describing the actual music on an album rather than inches and inches of mindless drivel....it's called pretentiousness!

Our Escape Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It makes perfect sense - they didn't like the other songs No I get it on that level, Im saying personally that doesn't make sense to me. Idk it just seems odd, w/e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 NME on X&Y: "This album cannot fail..." :laugh3: X&Y didn't fail though. It sold a shitload of copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienbob Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 NME is a shit newspaper. They just love to hate on British bands that aren't britpop, such as Radiohead and Coldplay, who they have been flaming for the whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienbob Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 X&Y didn't fail though. It sold a shitload of copies. I think the joke is that they rated X&Y so highly and this one so low. Everyone piled tons of love on X&Y. And I don't understand why. It's so boring. Whiny, flat, just bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugatrix Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Don't read critic, be a critic yourself that's a thing i learn year's ago when i realize that many times critics are like anyone else, they vulnerable to their feelings, and their feelings make then biases. Critiquing a piece of art is not exact science... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Has anyone noticed the NME headlines about Coldplay recently? Kanye West "changed the way Coldplay listened to music"Charlie Brown was written in a kids' dolls houseChris Martin's family don't listen to ColdplayRihanna turned Chris into a "Hugh Grant-like mess"Paradise divides NME users (one compares it to Cliff Richard) It just seems that they listen to an interview and conjure a piece to rile indie fans. Doesn't matter that Kanye is a visionary, Coldplay are open-minded people and that Chris Martin is actually, a rather nice bloke. Oh no. They don't use distortion pedals. They don't ape Stone Roses. They want to play big crowds. How dare they aspire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just love to hate on British bands that aren't britpop, such as Radiohead and Coldplay, who they have been flaming for the whole year. Completely agree with you on the first point - I've said number of times that I don't think NME is a very good magazine. That being said, how can you say they hate on Coldplay given their past reviews (which includes an 8/10 for Princess of China)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anniea89 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 At this point, I would like to quote Robbie Williams. Journalist from NME: Can I get a quote? Robbie: Yes. Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayingfromKansas Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Has anyone seen their "Coldplay's top 10 songs" video. How generic a list can you get?! It's an awful list. :laugh4: Isn't it just a list of their most successful singles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankshore Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 NME is definitely the odd one out on this one. All of the other reviews have ranged from "good" to "outstanding," and trust me, nobody listens to NME any more. They're a joke. Not just because of this--they haven't put out a worthwhile magazine in...what, ten years? It's so sensationalist and snarky now. NME: Not Musically Enlightened.

Blue Nails Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 If he's going to rate it 5/10, not such a good score, I think he could have been a more detailed. This review is more about Coldplay than about MX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letterbomb Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 ^Agree. But thats the point if a big band like Coldplay changes their style so radical. There will be always people who find it shitty. With regard to the lovely production and all the warm songs on the record like Us against the World, U.F.O., Up with the Birds and Up in Flames the review is nothing than shit in my view. See this is where I disagree. I don't really find Mylo to be all that different or radical, musically. At all the songs core, these are pretty simplistic tracks (in terms of the writing). The electronic elements are nice, but don't really do much other then to dress up the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Escape Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I find it funny how they accost Coldplay when they use electronics, yet everyone in the world seems to love Foster the People hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
