This. So much this. I'm so afraid that I won't like this and then I will be devastated and everything because Coldplay have always been THE band. And I don't want to see them release something terrible. I'm just hoping we're all getting worked up over nothing.

I am like so much happier now you've gotten that off your chest. It's okay, we're in all in a similar boat. Myself is aboard the S.S Howard, but yes. It's the same cruel fate.

From Mumford & Sons... :lol: Seems appropriate to now ask: Mumford & Sons

U.N.I - Ed Sheeran

Yeahh. Redtrack

The Vaccines

Classy? Muse fans... Are... Classy? To be honest, I was thinking about this last night... I wouldn't be afraid to swear in front of Muse, but I felt so bad when I swore when speaking to The Hoosiers last night (I may have offended their delicate sensibilities). I get the feeling that Muse are, well, less high brow?

I can quite happily say right now that Eskimo Kiss, How D'Ya Like That? and Is It Me are absolute blinders. Bit of a shame that Carried Away never made the cut though because that was definitely one of my other favourite new tracks they played in London. Also, weird question, why is it Saboteur keeps getting played live but is still yet to make it to an album?

I'd do much the same. /fangirl

Maybe it is just me... But I tend not to like Muse's slower songs as much as I like their heavier songs.

Hey. I'm an original fan... I'm only 20... The age is really irrespective.

Heh. I'm not a psycho... I class myself as unconstrained by the social norms. It's completely different :laugh3:

Dearish me. The new quiff is fucking terrifying. Here's me having nightmares forever.

The album artwork is just awful. Awful. This whole idea of street art coming from a bunch of middle/upper-class middle aged men. Highly pretentious. I love Coldplay, but god... They take themselves too seriously.

They had holes in the knees so he had to patch them up. But he couldn't quite get the colours to match.

Very true. By the end of next week I have no doubt I will be sick to death of Radio 1 playing Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. However, it means my Dad will hear it, which is a bit of a bonus considering I'm not around to educate my Dad's music taste anymore. :laugh3:

Criticism is something Coldplay fans aren't good at though. Because there is so much hate/malice around the band, it's any slight 'off' remark is seen as an attack. Therefore the immediate defensive stance that some Coldplayers will take is a natural response for being heckled so much. I think it would be nice though if between us we could somehow get each other used to the remarks by actually having in-forum discussions rather than: OMGITSAMAZINGIFYOUBASHWEWILLFLAMEYOU I used to get so annoyed when people said how 'lame/boring/suicidal' Coldplay were... Then I learnt to live with it. So I now just say: 'that's your opinion, you're entitled... Just like I don't like [name one of their bands here]' I feel bad. I sort of feel like Coldplay are trying to be 'in' with the street art culture and I'm a bit like... Um, no. You're 10-15 years too old and you're a little on the... posh side for it. :\ It's cringe. That being said-- I do like the new jackets. And that Will has adopted Dom green skinnies. :lol: Hey, you're entitled not to like it. You probably find a favourite in one that I don't like or something like that. If everyone liked the same songs, it would make life a little dull or something. We need a bit of variety/spice, and some friendly bickering/discussion about it. I just like Map of Your Head... I find it so different to their normal style that it caught me off guard and I guess that's why it sticks out to me... Also I find it unbelievably quirky (and I sort of related to the lyrics)

The album artwork = well awful. I looked at it and died at the font. Seriously. What is the meaning of that font?! If they're trying for this graffiti/street art idea... Then maybe they need to go out on the streets and see that no one uses a font like that!! :inquisitive: I prefer the more obscure Coldplay songs if I'm honest, it's the same with all the bands. Once a song gets played a lot around the place I get bored of it and start to like a really odd one of the album. My favourite Coldplay track is probably Talk/Crests of Waves. Muse it is Map of Your Head and Muscle Museum. :lol:

Excuse me double posting.

You are free to do so here. Although, I have to disagree... I like the line 'I'd rather be a comma than a full stop' admittedly it means nothing in the context of the song. But I still took a shine to it :D But I do agree with you on the lyrical nonsense for a lot of it... Admittedly, Kings of Leon make even less sense. And Muse have their odd moments of lyrical whut? :stunned: But I think that's why I like them.

Heh. Luckily enough my lectures have finished this week, so I will be in here revising. I will skive of revision to listen to it though. (To be honest, I would take any excuse).

^ Well, at least we now don't have to speculate.

I have a pair of green skinnies and a jacket very similar to this already in my wardrobe... So if I said I didn't like it, then I'd be wondering why I have them. I love the idea I was channeling the Coldplay style before I knew it was the Coldplay style.

I've found an article on Contact Music, which is probably a little more reliable, which has a different spin on the story completely. Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme wants to write tracks for the band's next album. All the songs on the 'Hysteria' rockers' first five albums have been written by vocalist and guitarist Matt Bellamy and, although he feels a little daunted, Chris is hoping his ideas could make it onto their next record. When asked if any of his tracks will be on the new Muse album, Chris told BANG Showbiz: "Maybe. Obviously Matt's written everything so far, and he's kind of raised the bar quite high in terms of songwriting. "I write quite a bit. I think if there's stuff that's good enough it would always be considered, I'm a bit nervous really, because I don't want to write a song and it be responsible for the demise of the band." The band - which also includes Dominic Howard - have yet to start work on the album, but Chris says they have lots of ideas and recording will be easier than previously, as they are all living in the same city. He added: "There's a lot of ideas that we've all individually got, but we've not got together as a band yet to actually consciously put an album together. "We're kind of all living in London now, well I'm just outside. But the plan is to do the album in London and it will be the first time in 12 years we've all been in the same place!" Muse previously recorded songs in Italy, America and their home county of Devon in Southern England. Source

:laugh3: Glad to be of some service. Ohh wow, congrats :hug: You always seem to be passing some mile-stone or another. Hmmm. :thinking: Would Matt really just hoist over the reigns like that? Idk, but if he does... I am excite to hear what Chris can come up with.
