Will is too funny

If you don't feel something when Chris' voice cracks in the final verse of We Never Change, or in Sparks and Parachutes, and even, heaven forbid, Warning Sign.....I just don't know what to tell you :([/i]

holy fuck

Gah, so difficult, but I put on Parachutes today after not listening to it for a long long time and I have to choose it. The album is GORGEOUS from start to finish. I wish "Careful Where You Stand" made it on the album; I think that would have made it the PERFECT album because the song definitely could fit in it. That being said, I still feel that AROBTTH is classic (How can you beat Warning Sign and Amsterdam?) but I don't think that it flowed as well as parachutes did, even though I still virtually love all the songs on it. I really like X&Y too, but there is just something about parachutes.....

esp. Alessa. That was from the MTV live leak, right?

Reilly is too funny

^HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

A radio station in ATL interviewed Chris and Jonny about X&Y and there are quite a few funny quotes. You can access it here http://www.99x.com/index2.asp (It's two hours long because they intersperse songs from X&Y with the interview)

TWINS?!?!? Did he say this in an interview or what?

I was at the show :) Actually, it was Guy who Chris called a sex god, I think. He kept on telling Guy to show his handsome face to the crowd.

Victaniac = Dumba$$ (edited for Reilly ;) ). Don’t start crap when in the end it’s unnecessary. Reilly and I expressed an opinion, no need to shit on it when you eventually come to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter. I agree with Reilly, let's make the forum return to its beautiful state.

If I remember correctly, I actually heard silence the moment he said it. I've been at concerts where he has said that and fans actually started screaming "STOP" at him. I'm just saying it's unnecessary, that's all.

Victaniac, if the type of self-deprecating humor that Chris repeatedly uses has you ROTFL, I feel sorry for YOU. He can be entirely hilarious without it; whenever he does it it makes me cringe because I feel Coldplay has already established itself and Chris does not need to deprecate himself in order to foster acceptance.

yeah, I was starting to get annoyed with the whole "we suck" repetition from Chris. I mean, he opens up the show with "Sorry about the lights because they make you see how ugly we really are." This comes from the man who GWYNETH PALTROW chose to marry. Give me a break.

Ha I noticed that as well!

I know that Chris and Jonny obviously get along :wink3: but every interview I hear Chris pokes fun at Guy. What's up?

if you read the reviews on Amazon.com, you will see some the the reactions I expected there would be

I like both Coldplay and Radiohead (my sig is in fact from a Radiohead song) but I really don't understand the comparisons. In fact, the comparisons are based on rather pathetic similarities....Well, since they are both British and have a frontman that can sing high notes, they MUST have similar music :rolleyes: Will Coldplay ever write a "Just" or "Pyramid Song"? Will Radiohead ever write a "Green Eyes" or "Shiver"? STOP COMPARING THEM.

I wish reviewers would not let their opinions of Chris influence their reviews of the album. I don't care whether you like Chris or not, that shouldn't factor into your review. If you feel so strongly about him, you will naturally be biased against the album. A lot of the bad reviews I have read have been much more about how much so and so hates Chris than about the problems with X&Y

I know that at least here in America, there are going to be some pissed off fans when they first hear X&Y. The fact is, many here got really into Coldplay after Yellow and especially after The Scientist, which was played virtually on the minute here, so I really feel that people (specifically female fans) looking for those intimate piano ballads will initially be very disappointed with this album. That being said…. I really like the new music, but not necessarily the studio album. I first heard songs like “Low” and “Fix You” at the Boston Avalon buzz gig, and I thought they were amazing. When I first heard the leak of the album, though, the studio versions of the songs did not strike me at all as the live versions did. It took me a lot (a lot) of listens to really start loving X&Y (which I do now) but that was the exact same way for me with AROBTTH and Parachutes. Coldplay music NEEDS to be absorbed, and I’m afraid that for many of those fans looking for another Scientist, another instant gratifier, the fans who believe the only songs worth listening to on AROBTTH are The Scientist, Clocks, and In My Place, they will lack the patience to let this album sink in. However, the Twisted Logic Tour is the best thing that Coldplay will do for itself to win back a fan base that they may alienate with X&Y. They have virtually sold out all venues, so this will be the tour of the summer. When fans hear songs like “Fix You” and “A Message” live, the intimacy that I believe is missing, hidden behind the synths on the studio album, will be restored. Please, if you are an avid Coldplay fan and are disappointed with X&Y, don’t be. If you are lucky enough to have tickets to one of their shows, you won’t be disappointed. In fact, you will appreciate the songs even more.

Talk Chris reuses lines so much "Stuck in a corner"
