Well I actually didn't mean to name the thread "what if Coldplay tried to be more like Radiohead"....that wasn't what I meant....I do want Coldplay to be Coldplay...
But I feel that they are repeating themselves a little. But I don't know. They're the famous band and I'm not. But by be more like Radiohead I meant re-invent themselves not copy them or anything. I think they could do melodic electronica. They are that talented. Chris has one of the best if not the best voice in music today. X&Y doesn't sound exactly like their earlier ones. The main thing is it sounds a little overdone. Alot of it is the production, not actually the bands fault. They could pull off Sigur Ros type Shoegazer/Slowcore.....I would love that....I don't think Parachutes sounds dated. It has the best songs they've writen. Although AROBTTH is the better over all record. I guess I just want them to explore more.
