B35 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 You almost get the idea that they don't like the idea of being challenged these days. Surely they must take one look at Metacritic or dip in and out of reviews and think 'this isn't as good as we thought it was'. No credence is given to how they can further themselves critically and artistically. I get that they are quite commercially conscious so what is worse on commercial performance than creating an album that has got some pretty bad reviews? Ghost Stories tailed off pretty badly and judging by the chart performance of this latest effort it looks set to do worse. I just don't believe Jonny and Will are happy with the direction they're heading in or the quality of the output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Why in the world did they ever get away from producing with them?? Has anyone considered whether the producers want to work with them? I know we all think Coldplay are very talented and great (at least have been), but it could be a matter of some producers wanting to move on as well? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Team "make another album with Jon Hopkins and Brian Eno as the producers and no one else" Well, I'm rather on the Team "Ken Nelson back as producer" :D They should never have fired him... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous Old Painter Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Reminiscing about Oldplay made me remember how fun The Lounge was back in 2008. Still doesn't feel like that long ago to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I just got a notification that three posts of mine in this thread have been deleted, "Reason: Deleted". What happened ?

I ran away Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Anyway, today and tomorrow are the last days to vote in the Coldplaying awards, so if you haven't yet done so, VOTE ! And vote for the Oldplaying thread in the category "Best thread of 2015 - Coldplay section" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Shortly before the end of campaigning I finally submitted a campaign thread (the lateness was on purpose, to avoid the accumulation of hate posts which I feared might arrive...). http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/vote-the-oldplaying-thread-as-best-thread-of-2015-coldplay-section.105540/ Be sure to voice your support in that thread ! Post something :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 You needn't have worried... I might be optimistic but I think some non-Oldplayers might actually vote for your thread :) In any case, I don't think any Newplayers would do any hate-posting on it... You don't have control over who posts what content on the thread anyway - I do remember your original intention was to celebrate Oldplay rather than rain hate / criticism on "Newplay"... I see that difference clearly :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread was at 1083, then when I posted, it was at 1080. I didn't know that was possible. I guess some people took exception to your thinking that Everglow wasn't as good as Clocks or Yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there was no reason given so I don't know why. Meaning I have no idea what I need to keep in mind in the future... If the mod who deleted three posts here reads this, please let me know why this was done ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentleparachute Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 ^ I'm guessing that was the time in the week before album release when everything was glitching and everyone was double posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I ran away's internet connection may have been unstable at that moment or he/she pushed the "Post Reply" button too many times, resulting in multiple posts!
