I like these threads because they really make you hate people. I appreciate A Whisper in the context of the album, but I never listen to it on its own. What if is pretty weak, with a generic arrangement and terrible lyrics, it really shouldn't have been on the album because it kills all the momentum square one built up. Fix You is easily the most hateable coldplay song. I almost never listen to it, but its great for what its meant to be. I can't say its crap, just that its a flavor I don't like to swallow on a daily basis. I'd say the weakest part of X&Y are songs like A Message & Swallowed In The Sea which come off as formulaic and uninspired. That said, for love songs with bad lyrics, its done really well, particularly Jonny's input. But while they both have decent melodies, it feels like Chris could have brought something much more unique or interesting to the table, and that's why I'm generally so-so about those tracks and X&Y as a whole, because the novelty wears off before the album is finished. (btw I have nothing against THP, I know people don't like the general sound of it, but its wonderfully produced and is chockful of nice little riffs) I've always been so-so about lost! because I think it tries to be more than it is. I want to hate VLV but can't...I find Rainy Day a bit annoying because I don't like the way parts fit together, and as far as b-sides go I only sorta dislike 'The World Turned Upside Down' *Just because I didn't mention a song doesn't mean I completely love everything else, just that I don't dislike it enough to mention it.

what is this magic?

:toilet: :toff: :gossip:

and the other half?...

you're thinking of this...?

lolocaust

I was about to comment on that! but I couldn't quite make out whether it was or wasn't...

lulz. if you were referring to me, I never said it would be stressful either (although most would agree it is), my point was just that the act of marriage is almost meaningless, and the happiness or lack thereof of that marriage is completely contingent on the quality of your relationship.

who said it would be bad?

I guess just the ridiculous amount of stress on marriage, as if its intrinsically synonymous with unbelievable happiness. That, and the thread title.

for some reason I lol'd at this thread.

I chuckled

yup

in case anyone doesn't know, that's her brother. He's been in a bunch of the burberry ads as well.

oh snap! tour dates.

not yet, give it til tomorrow.

or is it just a drawing of the old fashioned nike logo? :rolleyes:

Interesting points, I think if, for example, a museum purchases a work from another museum, the price is not so much meant to be a reflection of a paintings absolute worth, so much as a business decision, measuring how their expenditure will correlate with the added revenue the museum gets from people wanting to see it. But if the museum is funded by taxpayer money, and that money is used to buy a piece nobody really likes...yeah, that blows. I <3 xkcd (although I don't get half the math jokes, and you probably do) I's illiterate in maths :cry:, maybe the guy from karma police can help me... In all seriousness I have heard similarly poetic defenses of math, and all I really can do is shrug and resign myself to my foreignness to it. I'm familiar with the linguistic use of binary, and in a way i can imagine how there's a certain symmetrical beauty in understanding the patterns that govern everyday life, but it seems like such seems like such a distant, esoteric state of awareness that I know i could never have the acute interest or patience necessary to reach the point where that would parallel my current appreciation of visual aesthetics. yeah, i don't think i gave adequate credit to the obvious importance of invention, discovery and innovation in math, and obviously that encompasses creativity, I guess i was trying to emphasize the expressionistic side of it more than anything. Please don't think I'm trying to discredit or depreciate mathematicians as obsolete or anything.

that's debatable, but it's most certainly not a pipe, just try putting tobacco in it...

tbh...the grammy's are a joke, nearly all the noms sucked, don't lose sleep over it.

:smoking: :beatnik: :pimp2:

We need to start a fund to educate new coldplayers on b-sides, pre-parachutes material and their superiority to many better known album tracks.
