Toddster 2 Posted November 29, 2015 I've found a quiz on buzzfeed where you have to guess the Coldplay song by looking at the emojis.

Toddster 2 Posted November 29, 2015 Putting it out there that all these negative reviews are really scaring me... But then again most of the people on the forum, even the 'Oldplayers' are ranking it above MX and GS. So, that being said, since both albums weren't actually that bad at all I think it's shaping up to be a really good album! Also, as someone who doesn't care about production, and is excited for some experimentation, I think I may just end up liking it! :) I agree! I think I'm really going to enjoy the whole album. So far people are saying the songs they DON'T like are Amazing Day (only heard the live one) and Everglow.. I can't stop playing either of them, so I think this could easily be in my top 3 Coldplay albums! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaytheblue 92 Posted November 30, 2015 Listening to AROBBTH just about now- 5 days my friends!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMDB9 4693 Posted November 30, 2015 I know this should be in the Random Coldplay Thoughts thread, but since we're on the topic of AROBTTH, I saw the vinyl copy of that album in the store yesterday, and it looked so cool all blown up from cd proportions!! AROBTTH, X&Y, and MX are the only three I haven't seen in vinyl, so now I can cross one of those off my list... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friend is getting me Parachutes on vinyl for christmas which is my favourite album of all time. Too bad I don't have a vinyl player yet ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think my parents have a copy of Abbey Road... IMO, the backside of Abbey Road (Abbey Road Medley) is one of the best pieces of music ever written by anybody. It also is sorta underrated for the Beatles lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
getithom 423 Posted November 30, 2015 I'm about to write a review for X&Y in a few minutes and what better way would there be than to listen to X&Y? I love the album to death, and it's a shame this site puts X&Y as one of their worst. :sad: Because I am in the Christmas mood [video=youtube_share;z1rYmzQ8C9Q] Holy shit I forgot how good this is.

Well, I've personally never been a fan of X&Y, not because of the forum or anything just a lot of the songs didn't mesh with me enough and it all seems a little distant. I mean there are some GREAT songs on the album- actually A LOT of great songs, but the album itself to me isn't the best. It's lacking flow and the right rhythm IMO. But honestly this sight makes every album seem like one of their worst excluding AROBTTH and Viva and maaayyybbbe parachutes depending... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Connect with you and touch you and stay with you and if X&Y is the album that did that, then great! It just didn't personally connect with my on the same level as Viva per say or even GS (O was just life changing aha) Hey wait a second- aren't you the guy who's a r/Coldplay mod? Or am I dreaming...

Ah your Mexican! Cool! :) the North American tour dates haven't come out yet so I'm gunna just sit and hope they don't interfere with my long summer camping trip in the Canadian wilderness aha. I don't even know why I signed up for it I mea 3 weeks in the middle of nowhere what am I thinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There must be something good of going camping, I wish I would join something like that some years ago. But if Coldplay decide to go on tour during the summer to your country you will be in a big Trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There must be something good of going camping, I wish I would join something like that some years ago. But if Coldplay decide to go on tour during the summer to your country you will be in a big Trouble. Your English is great, especially for someone who doesn't speak it fluently. English is my first language and I gotta say I have horrible grammar sometimes. I'm quite young, and my 'camping trip' is affiliated with an overnight summer camp (don't know if you have that in Mexico) Where we basically canoe on a network of lakes and rivers in North Eastern Quebec (which is a province in Canada- and I'm not even sure why it's in Quebec- I live in Ontario and Quebec is quite far away) Even in the summer it gets quite cold some nights in Canada. I believe it was two summers ago I got bronchitis on a (shorter) camping trip because a storm hit and it dipped down to 6 degrees Celsius and nobody was prepared for that cold. You have it good- Mexico is gorgeous! I've only been there a couple of times before and only resorts, which was nice I suppose as I was very young, but I think the REAL Mexico (as in the cities, people, culture etc) must be beautiful.

Arantza 295 Posted November 30, 2015 I'm also getting my tickets tomorrow :cheesy: but I'm super anxious, I've been dreaming about the presale for 3 days! I just want it to be over! :P I don't know if this has been posted on this thread already, I'm really busy and I haven't been able to check all the videos.

42Escapist 2132 Posted November 30, 2015 I'm about to write a review for X&Y in a few minutes and what better way would there be than to listen to X&Y? I love the album to death, and it's a shame this site puts X&Y as one of their worst. :sad: X&Y is the album that made me a fan so it will always have a special place in my heart. Opinions of it are so divided on this site. Even if it's not as strong as some of the other albums, it just speaks to me more. My first memories of discovering Coldplay included listening to this album at night before going to bed. I remember the first time I listened to the whole thing. What an experience. :) It quickly became my favorite album and I was eager to discover more of this band so I bought a CD box set of the first four albums. It's not quite my favorite anymore but that's only because it inspired me to explore the world of music and discover new artists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
