You know that video where someone took "Single Ladies" and played it over the Thom Yorke's dancing in the "Lotus Flower" video? I demand someone do that same thing with "Paradise" except slow the video down to 1/3 the speed. Also, everything on TKOL > Paradise. And I was a big critic of TKOL.

The phrase "hurts like heaven" alone is as bad as anything from Every Teardrop. Also, I want in on this whole mock-Coldplay-with-your-username business. Maybe I should change my username to "Don't Let It Break Your Fart" or "Up With the Turds". :thinking:

St. Vincent album is only #27. This is an international tragedy.

It's also the wrong form of "they're", now that I take a closer look. :laugh3:

Haha, I was in class and never posted the screenshot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I took a screenshot before someone changes it back. :D

That's why I'm hoping for a Reading/Leeds DVD, especially since BBC didn't stream the Origin set. >.< Every time I've run into Tom Kirk (which is frequently, he must think I'm stalking him), he mentions how things are being worked on for a DVD, but nobody knows exactly what right now.

They only fill up 500-person venues here in the States. :/ Means it's extremely easy to meet them, of course (haven't tried to do so myself, though), but it's a difficult market to crack here, especially since bands like Editors never found success here.

Paradise comes at a price that I am not prepared to pay...$1.29 on iTunes for. :P

Can someone change Coldplay's Wikipedia entry to say "Years active 1996-2011"? Because they've clearly died.

The sad thing is that songs like "Moving to Mars" prove that Coldplay are still damn well capable of writing the type of song that made them great. The fact of they matter is that they CHOOSE NOT TO, as further indicated by MTM being demoted to a B-side most people will never hear so that they can fit more radio-catering pop tracks on the actual album. That really infuriated me about the tracklist. Sure, we on this forum know MTM exists, but Coldplay is now so deeply intrenched in the mainstream that anything of theirs that has actual quality is purposely buried.

ETIAW = Coldplay's Neutron Star Collision Paradise = Coldplay's Guiding Light I'm pretty sure Mylo Xyloto will be way worse than The Resistance, though. At least The Resistance still has some great rockers in the back half.

If this were the Coldplay section, someone would try to be witty and respond to this with "Don't let it break your heart". Because that's actually the name of another song on the album. Seriously. Whatever happened to simple names like "Trouble" that didn't pretend to be clever?

*gives you manly guy hug of tears and rage* (I actually just got back from seeing The National in concert like an hour ago, haha. But they didn't play YWAK. Still, that pre-"Paradise" time seeing The National was a much more blissful era for me.)

Minus everything that makes YWAK a good song, I assume? Anyway, I'll just C&P what I posted on Twitter: Paradise is less of a piece of a shit than Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall, meaning it's only a steaming cat turd instead of a horse turd. Seriously, I expected bad things, but ETIAW set the bar so incredibly low that there was no way this could be equally awful.

Took these pictures a month ago, but better late than never:

Maybe so, but I still insist that "Coldplayers" is an obscenely dumb and unoriginal name for a group of fans. ("Musers" rolls off the tongue far easier.) There was a poll a few years ago here and I voted that Coldplay fans call themselves "The Scientists". But "Coldplayers" won by a HUGE margin. :rolleyes:

Actually, yes. A lot of Musers are awesome, but a lot of them are also stupid as dirt. (as a whole, however, we are smarter than the Coldplayer collective)

Pssssh, only 5 times? What a novice, casual fan. :rolleyes: j/k of course. A lot of those dumb rumors circulate in the fanbase, and a lot of fans are dumb enough to believe them. Whatever.

The Kills tonight, The National tomorrow, Fleet Foxes on Tuesday, The Joy Formidable on Wednesday. Yeah, this isn't going to be a productive week for classes or work.

I'll laugh if Car Kids becomes the new Famous Old Painters. Forever speculated by fans to be released but never actually released.

And dreamed of para-para-paradise... Yeeeeeeah...I'm probably not gonna like this one. Will reserve judgment for now, but it's certainly a pop number. Fortunately not dancey synth crap like ETIAW, but still.

So can we cancel all upcoming releases for the rest of 2011 and just declare "One Sunday Morning" as song of the year?

Never let him go! (assuming he's, uh, your age. lol.) It's probably a good thing I don't know any big Muse fanatics on my campus. A bunch of casual fans, but if I found someone who was hardcore, I would probably annoy the crap out of them. :lol:

Every tracklist prediction thread needs to be stickied so everyone can conveniently locate them to mock them relentlessly. I'll start... *ahem* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
