alisbe Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 After listening to X&Y and AHFOD I rediscovered why Coldplay is one of the best bands of the century IMO. Different styles and different emotions that I can relate to. Most of the times is not about the sound it's about what they want to share through their songs and that's what makes the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of comments which I disagree with and all I know is that Coldplay hasn't disappointed me since I started listening to them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShannonF Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Jonny is the man on all albums but I think he has grown exponentially with the later works. Compare his work on Parachutes or A Rush to what he later did on MX and now AHFOD. He is just blossoming more and more! I think that all of them have blossomed and have sounded so good on every album. Jonny is great, and obviously Chris is too; I love listening to both of them. But they dominate nearly every song. I would love to hear some new music that really highlights Guy and Will more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonF Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 oh my god i'm crying at chris's expression in the second one They all look so young and pudgy in the older one...and England pale with a very English style. They have thinned out, matured, and become more cosmopolitan. And they are tan now - much, much traveling now to warmer, sunnier spots.

ShannonF Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Oh my God they're freaking babies no wait they're my age on that pic THEY'RE BABIES and Chris looks like he ate a frog that's still moving in his stomach :laugh3: Hahaha! Chris does look like that! Great description! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisbe Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Yeah a little listening party before bed....it gets so quiet in my dorm room, so it is nice to have some Coldplay company! So true! I won't have any Internet connection this weekend and I think it's a great moment to listen to Coldplay's discography from the beginning to AHFOD in order. The evolution of Coldplay is interesting because it reflects also their evolution as humans. Perhaps some of us can relate to them or at least I can do that when they sing about their fears and hopes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp3176 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I So true! I won't have any Internet connection this weekend and I think it's a great moment to listen to Coldplay's discography from the beginning to AHFOD in order. The evolution of Coldplay is interesting because it reflects also their evolution as humans. Perhaps some of us can relate to them or at least I can do that when they sing about their fears and hopes. Thought about doing this once but never got around to it... On an instrumentals live stream I did go from AROBTTH to GS (it took GS forever to start and of course people were making jokes like it broke the Internet it was so bad lol.) It really does take you through a journey of themselves and start they've gone through, gradually becoming bigger and more confident with each release just like themselves as people. More free. Doing it I think it will make more sense why they made AHFOD the way they did. Still not sure what's up with Stargate and these pop collabs but oh well. Nothing lasts forever. Just gotta enjoy what they put out because one day they are going to call it one. Sorry to break all of your hearts. It's the ugly truth. Face it. Your favorite thing will one day be only a memory and very far in the future may not even be a memory at all. Just nothing compared to the vast sea of other things out there... Makes me sad to. Believe me. :( But don't let it break your heart. Admire what we have now and don't waste time thinking about worse days because it will all add up in the end. Enjoy it while we can. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisbe Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Today I went to see Supersonic, the documentary about Oasis. It helped me to understand the band a little bit. At the end I couldn't help but think how awesome it'd be that Mat Whitecross really directs a Coldplay documentary. He did a great job with the Oasis one. Coldplay is such an amazing song and so different to the rest. They always care about their fans and the live shows. They've broken boundaries among music genres. Some might not like that but a lot seem to like it. They don't follow the "rock & roll rules". They just want to make music people might love because their songs come from their hearts. I love this band so much and I'd like the world to see how awesome this group of friends is. They might have had difficult times but they are strong enough to overcome them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisbe Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 You know he's doing exactly that right? I know, but I want that to be a real thing. It’s known Coldplay recorded live footage for a live DVD in the Viva era but it never saw the light of day. I don't want this to be just an idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
