chrisnz Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm sure u all would love to have CP's LP7 free on Itunes and stuff... This. If Coldplay did this instead of U2, it would be hailed on here as the greatest idea ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42Escapist Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Love the album cover. This record is probably up there with The Unforgettable Fire and Achtung Baby as one of their best to date. I've been listening to it everyday and just can't get enough. The lyrics are mesmerizing as well! Its a shame entire generations have grown up not listening or discovering great music. They get a free U2 album but can't even be bothered to listen through the whole thing. They'd rather watch Nicki Minaj stick a anaconda up her bottom. Well said! I'm 16 and I don't know a single person close to my age who cares at least the slightest bit about U2. I wish people would just give SOI a chance, it would be a stunning introduction to a truly great band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny and the cake Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 well, if you don't like or don't know the band well enough, why criticize this much? I'm sure u all would love to have CP's LP7 free on Itunes and stuff... yes of course because im fan of the band, but what about other people? maybe you dont know that once an album is downloaded you cant delete it or doing it its a pain in the ass and actually doesnt delete the album but just "blocks" it, i would be mad as hell if one day i wake up to find a coldplay album i didnt want. Just because a band like U2/coldplay does a thing you have to praise it, i wouldnt prise coldplay if they did something like it and btw i love SOI but what are u talking about doesnt have anything to do about liking or not liking the band U2 itself, but not liking their way of advertising, which i find vile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodova Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This. If Coldplay did this instead of U2, it would be hailed on here as the greatest idea ever. Ehm, actually no. I would be disappointed. One thing is to release an album for free, another thing is to put your album to everybody's playlist without a question. I believe that Coldplay would never do this, because they don't think about themselves so proudly and they know that not everybody likes their music. I know that a lot of you love U2 and I DO NOT hate them, but it's just my point of view. And please don't treat them like the best band in the world. They aren't. They are good, bu not the best. Before Coldplay I didn't know U2 and I'm not ashamed of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny and the cake Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 ^ finally someone that understands me U2 actually FORCED people to have their album on their devices, id rather have a nicki minaj song i actually like than an entire album from a band i dont listen to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haruka Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 maybe you dont know that once an album is downloaded you cant delete it or doing it its a pain in the ass YES, I'm very aware of that and I also know that u have to deactivate the automatic download on Itunes/app store to really delete it. btw, I don't agree 100% on this marketing choice, U2 only wanted to give SOI to as many people as they could reach. this is manly on Apple 'cos that option was there AGES before all this happened, they could have done a pop up window to warn the costumers that new free content was being downloaded directly... that's my thoughts on the subject, now let's go back to just enjoying the album PLEASE ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Gets the music out there, and might discover new fans who otherwise wouldn't have listened to it. I still need to load it onto my ancient iPod Classic to give it a spin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only exception is if you had automatic downloads from icoud enabled. Then it would download to your device automatically. You agreed to this in your terms and conditions from Apple. If you have enough time to whine about 11 songs on your phone surely you have enough time to delete it and carry on living your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 The Troubles reminds me a bit of recent Stereophonics songs. Loving the album still, it's a lot more consistent than NLOTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Coldplay]Andi Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Got the physical album since yesterday and just heard it twice: it's a great Album. Much better than "No line on the horizon". Beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than "No line on the horizon". Beautiful! I haven't listened to it as much as I would have liked but I certainly like it. My picks thus far are Song for Someone , Iris & Every Breaking Wave. I find it impossible not to love U2. They were my first true love before Coldplay & I just hold both of them in such high esteem. They are the light :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing if I recommend new music basic on P4K recommendations but if you check my post history, you'll see I highlight albums long before Pitchfork actually reviews it (e.g. I posted about Caribou way back in August). Although I wouldn't expect any less from someone who still thinks U2 is relevant in 2014. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
