Hey everyone!
Kinda just wanted to ask some people for their opinion on the progress of Coldplay. Starting with Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head, I think they had a great start. I loved their first two albums, great tune and melody. X&Y was good too but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two, to this day I consider it their weakest so far. I though Viva La Vida was another great CD, especially for a CD that I see as an experiment album. So far I've been a fan since 2000 and to this day I consider them a really influential band to me.
But lately I feel that Coldplay is beginning to shift to a more mainstream audience, and this concerns me a little. And these rumors that that Coldplay is to tour with Miley Cyrus, and to be quiet honest I dislike her a lot! So I'm against it. Then the whole plagiarism law suit with Satriani. Makes me feel that lately the band is going downhill.
I don't mean to insult anyone or make a flame thread, I would really like some constructive criticism. But anyone else feel a little out-of-place with the possible figure of the band? I do admit that no band is perfect, and I don't expect the world from Coldplay. Yet, it would really disappoint me to see Coldplay sell out to mainstream media.
Like I said, I would really like to see some opinions on how you folks feel about the band. Happy posting and thanks in advance!
