Draco Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I won't ever want them to become Radiohead, or at least, this Radiohead. *jumps into thread after a lifetime* I'm glad they're striving more to be themselves now. Regardless of what people may say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 I won't ever want them to become Radiohead, or at least, this Radiohead. Not because A Moon Shaped Pool isn't a good album (it is), but because we have to look at things with balance and not calling a masterpiece every album Radiohead put out. Yes, we all agree Coldplay should take a less mainstream musical pattern, but I still think people overrated this new RH album, like every time they released something from 1998 on. I don't know what people say, but I wanted to say that I actually don't like most of Radiohead's discography, and especially In Rainbows and The Ling of limbs. I feel they got kinda carried away with that experimental ambition, but I am glad to see they have come back with MSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad too, but what I wanted to say is that Coldplay will never be Radiohead, and that's a fact. I'd only like to have ©oldplay back just one more time... after that Chris can marry Ariana Grande, Will can become an actor, Guy a photomodel and Jonny a barman :lol: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldplay or Radiohead? If you mean Coldplay then please tell me where I can find an artist that made more of Coldplay pre 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I never wanted Coldplay to be Radiohead. I love Radioheads 2nd and 3rd albums but when you compare Coldplays sophomore and third effort, it's a completely different sound. The relationship is purely casual and the similarities are only surface level. Coldplay should just be Coldplay and signature Coldplay is the first three albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfernandes Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Wow wow wooow I kind of just found this thread and I love everything about it. It's not like an homogeneous pack of nostalgic and purist thoughts, but there actually is a variety of ideas and opinions here, freely expressed without constant judgement over being "puritanical", "fake-fan for not liking everything Coldplay does". This thread is perfect and it feels like sweet home to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfernandes Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I don't know if it was discussed or said already (couldn't read more than the first 5 pages on mobile app) but my opinion about the direction the band's sound has taken is that maybe it's not just Chris's emotional state, but maybe the band relationship as well. More than 18 years being together may have tired, worn their relationship, their sync, their will of playing music together out. Maybe this new soulless but independent sound is what made it comfortable for each one of them to keep playing together as a band. Maybe if they took a break until they started missing sharing their energy with one another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Welcome, @vfernandes ! Glad you like the thread. It's been very, very quiet recently in this thread...but then, I know it may be dead on the surface, but it is screaming underneath !! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospekt46 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 As it turns out, working full time and taking college classes eats up most of your time. I'll watch that See You Soon performance when I get home. Still waiting on Strawberry Swing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 A typical situation these times: An old song is chosen as request. Jonny, Guy and Will deliver without a problem. Chris forgets lyrics and/or generally messes up something. What is it with Chris and the old songs ? :( I feel there is not much love for the old songs from Chris... There also seems to be a certain rush to get songs over with as quickly as possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbXc2nVeQcE Mobile Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=228&v=jbXc2nVeQcE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mixes up other lyrics even to brand new songs pretty often it seems. Ones that come to mind are Amazing Day and Army of One, among a few others. I don't know what's up with Chris. Mixing words on songs old and new, and of course the clocks thing. I really hope he is well... Perhaps he's just become a little too carefree. But I don't know...

I really hope he is well... Perhaps he's just become a little too carefree. But I don't know... Yeah, I wonder the same. He took such an emotional hit the past couple years. It may all be catching up with him. I sometimes also wonder if he is just tiring of the band or vice versa. He seems to be doing more on his own, like the Global Citizen artist procurement gig and The Voice a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Intentional or not, when they stop mid song it really ruins the performance for me. This tour seems all about showmanship and flashy appearance rather than the actual music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
