i don't agree with you AT ALL. in clocks, there was so much going on, and chris was singing so hard, i beleived and fealt every word he sang,and inother robtth songs, like scientist, amsterdam, blah blah blah. i just think you are dwelling on the fact that they haven't wrote another yellow, which i think does not matter a bit. they've done that, now look at all the gorgeous songs they have done. I don't much like Yellow by the way, never did :P Yellow is exactly the type of song I was referring to at the beginning of the thread (possibly my least fav from Parachutes)... The same goes for Politik (controversial again, I know - it's just how I feel about the song :rolleyes: ), A Whisper, and less so for some other songs from AROBTTH. Brilliant musically, but somehow lacking soul, although I have to concede that if you listen closely enough, it eventually does get to you. Anyone notice how AROBTTH has less emotionally accessible songs (i.e. the album has less immediate impact) than earlier stuff??? This thread actually isn't meant to be a judgement on X&Y... I was just commenting on a general observation that of late, they seem to be putting too much emphasis on production and maybe, just maybe losing sight of what made them successful the way they are now :( ... I mean I don't think anyone can dispute that the thing that made CP stand heads and shoulders above many other bands and get taken-noticed of was the emotional quality of their music (that their music skills is of high standard as well doesn't need mentioning, I consider it a prerequisite for any band worth my time :D ) Sure, I can accept they'll change, but I wonder whether they are heading in the right direction in terms of their strenths? Maybe they are still experimenting and expanding their skills and this may yet be a passing phase... And somehow one day they will manage to combine everything into the most awesomest, amazing album eva! *drumroll* :drummer: I guess I'll have to keep the faith like any good fan (seeing they do put in 100% and maybe more in all their work), and follow them wherever they take me. And of course it can't be denied that the quality of their playing is impeccable... all their tones and textures are just perfect (thank goodness they still believe in that :smug: )! And I guess there is hope yet :P... Jon & Will seem to be taking over more emotional burden in the songs from Chris (who seems to have plateaued in this department *sniff* *sniff* :cry: --> burn-out perhaps? :o ), so there is still loads to look forward from the band! Can't wait for the whole album to come out :) i thought politik was beautiful. just. i think all coldplay songs are perfectly controlled, and i think the arobtth songs were just amazing, theyjust grabbed you, engulfed you and wudn't le go. the songs were just dazzling, heart wrenching, haunting, blah blah blah. i think wot u sed about the music and chris' singing competing is untrue. i hink its done so well that they kind of mske a whole, rather than two parts.

erm, i like some oasis songs, but the ones everyone likes, like wonderwall, and don;t look back in anger, y'know.

ohmigod, yeah, i almost cried when i heard that! its so lush! i love the whole song, it makes me go all goosepimply. :) :) :)

my fave lyric my fave lyric is either from shiver or yellow. i like that bit in yellow when he goes "for you i'd bleed myself dry" all of the song is fab, but i love that. shiver is lush, epeciallly when he goes, "from the moment i wake, to the moment i sleep, i'll be there by your side, just you try and stop me." i love it. :D :D :lol: :lol: :cheesy:
