X&Y????

the new oasis album is much inferiro to coldplay's new effort Oh, please, posting this on a Coldplay board is going to illicit this result and these responses, but how can anyone think that X & Y, even though it is a nice album, is better than Oasis`s latest. Don`t Believe The Truth is a diverse new record, with no two songs sound the same, with different influences and styles, from different era`s in time. X & Y sounds pretty much the same all the way through, and while that does indeed make a nice listen, it`s just deviod of any inspiration or, apart from "Fix You", Passion. As my missus likes to call it, elevator and background music. I know I`m going to get all sorts of replys telling me I`m stupid, but listen to both albums and tell me that X & Y is anything but one long track split up into a few tracks. The fact that Coldplay moved the release of "Fix You" to a week with less competition shows that yes, as an album it works, as singles, the tracks really fall down.

Re: Oasis Boots Go to http://www.live4ever.us and sign up to the forums there, they have a whole message board dedicated to bootlegs. Oh and to people who say that Oasis are overrated, do check out the new album, I think you`ll be suprised. Oh, and nice to see Oasis get to No.1 for the eighth time this week with thier 17th consectutive top 5 single. Some people say that doesn`t matter, but it`s always nice.

Gotta be Oasis, sorry but since I heard Be Here Now in 97, no band since has come close.

Not about his voice mate, it`s about his lryics, which, to be fair, are mostly simplistic.

Thankyou :lol:

I agree, I`m not a Foo fan, so I`m coming from the direction of a normal Joe puplic, and I love it, didn`t like their stuff from the last album as it was a bit too shouty loud for me (we`ll the singles were anyway), but this time, if you don`t like the elecytric stuff, you`ve got the acoustic disc, which is great, haven`t listened to the other disc yet so I can`t comment on that.

Foo Fighters - In Your Honor Haven`t liked anything they`ve done for ages, anyway, this has now leaked, and so far I`ve heard Best Of You, which is awsome, and am listening to the acoustic disc, I have to say, I`m loving it. Probably better cos I wasn`t expecting much to be honest. but "still" is my favourite so far :)

I agree with you mate, Swallowed By The Sea has the worst lyrics ever, I played it to my missus in bed last night, she just said "Christopher (her 5 year old) could write better than that".

I have never once slagged the band, I am a Coldplay fan, I`m just not a fan of X&Y, sorry mate. I will buy this album though, if for nothing more than supporting a band who do know how to play their own instruments, can sing live, not manufactured etc. The last thing we need is a Crazy Frog album hitting No.1

you're crazy.. i don't get it, you hate the new album, but you still come here :) You can hate the album but still like Coldplay`s other work.

Wouldn't 'Coldplay by the numbers' be a repetition of AROBTTH or Parachutes? Say what you want about the album, good or bad, but I don't believe it's Coldplay by the numbers. Their success or failure in this album is based on their willingness to expand beyond their comfort zone. -Miggy X&Y is a troll. He never ever backs up his bullshit claims about coldplay. Erm.... what? yes, I have, I have stated many times that in my Opinion the lryics are bad except for maybe Fix You, has lovely lyrics, which is then ruined by Chris Martin not having the range in his voice to be able to hit the high notes without sounding squeeky and grinding. The songs mostly blend into each other for the reason of they sound too similar most of the time. Starting with Chris singing quietly, then picking up into the chorus before fading out with with just his voice to minimal music, heard it all before on AROBTTH. I`m listening to it as I type in a vain attempt to get it to grow on me, Fix You has just come on, and his voice is just out of tune and too high pitched to do the lyrics justice. I want to like it, unfortunatly, I can`t, it`s substandard in my Opinion. The album is is just average to me, and it seems to other people, whcih I say fair enough. Not everyone likes the same music, christ, enough people slagged of Don`t Believe The Truth, but I think it`s great, others don`t, that`s up to them. Calling my opinion bullshit because it doesn`t conform to your s is extremely norrow minded and short sighted. I like Coldplay, AROBTTH is one of the greatest albums made in the past 5 year, just because I`m dissapointed by the new album and want to voice my opinion makes me a troll does it? Talk`s on now, I like this, one of the 2 good songs on the album. See, you shouldn`t get offended by opinion of the album, it`s not like im saying the whole band are shit is it? I just don`t believe this new album is up to their standards. There, is that enough back up for you? Please don`t call my opinion bullshit.

Sorry guys, but it looks like someone is finally seeing past the hype and seeing sense. The trouble is that X&Y is just Coldplay by the numbers, it has no emotion to it, where did it all go since AROBTTH???

No, way, their best song they have ever done is Live Forever, I`m gonna have that at my Funeral. My second favourite Oasis track, at the moment, is Part Of The Queue from the new album, fantastic!

Really? well, I think people`s opinions speak for themselves, and I don`t mean the critics, I mean the people who are discussing it on other music forums. I like Coldplays fist 2 albums, but X&Y is just a bad album

Really? Have you heard Don`t Believe The Truth, sorry mate, as much as I like Coldplay, this album just blows X&Y away. The tracks on Oasis`s album are very different from each other, each one is unique and an amazing track, maybe with exception to The Meaning Of Soul. The only really good track on X&Y is White Shadows, with the rest being samey and moany. Speed Of Sound suddenly sounds a whole lot better.
