You guys have to be kidding me. For all we know he could have stolen that melody from this. or he could just not have stolen it at all. :rolleyes:

Why don't you stop being so thick and read my post which clearly says at the top in bright red letters that I decided to post it here since it was more relevant on this particular board.

If I didn't want a serious discussion I wouldn't have made a post that apparently is too long (3 minutes to read) for multiple people to read. "tl;dr chris plz rite a famous old painters for mx PLZ"

Downhill? VLV and Prospekts March were downhill? surely your kidding, your literally sound like the same people I am mentioning that are yearning for a The Scientist v2.

I love how I'm getting flamed for telling everyone to 'blindly' love them, I'm not at all, read my post. Point is they release a couple songs that aren't on par with your ridiculous standards and all the sudden your all driven too "oh god I might have to give up on them guys, I JUST MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE UP ON COLDPLAY :(" EDIT : I never claimed anyone who prefers the first two albums to be "true fans", I just feel like a large group of them label themselves as the old loyal fans who are pissy about Paradise

Quite obviously not if i'm supporting Coldplay on a site called coldplaying.com. But good try

DISCLAIMER : I originally posted this on the Paradise part of the forums since all the recent senseless bashing has been their, but I feel its more appropriate here. I understand at this point it is quite impossible to persuade anyone, but i've literally had to log into this account (which I rarely log into and made quite some time ago, usually browse the forums as a guest) to post because I would have been anxious all day. Been a literal massive fan of this band for years now, been to multiple shows as have alot of you. The people who are complaining to no end about the direction of MX need to stop acting like such pretentious assholes who swear they're these mega fans that have been listening to Coldplay "before they decided to go mainstream and put Rihanna on a record" First things first, Coldplay has been a massive mainstream success since Yellow came out, if they never put that song out, this forum would not exist. At this point in time the band is even more massive, when they first started out 10 years ago their sound was very stripped down, because they were a brand new band and didn't have the resources like they do now. This is quite obvious if you look at the lineage of the band and the albums. The sound CLEARLY matures. Parachutes was super stripped down, AROBTTH was definitely a louder album with them showing more tricks off, X&Y was the first time they really started experimenting with synth and such, and Viva la Vida was as close to a stadium rock / pop album as they had gotten to at that point. For those wishing they would go back to the "good ole days" the "Parachutes / AROBTTH days" your dreaming. Thank god they aren't. The albums were fantastic, some of my favorites and the content was clearly from a group of young kids who hadn't figured much of the world out yet and had nothing lose. I do NOT want a couple of 33 year old millionaires married to Gwyneth Paltrow writing a Parachutes. And for those who cry "no we dont wan't that, we just dont like this!" your either lying, or not giving them a chance. The path they are taking is no mistake, they are trying to adapt to a larger audience, one day this band is going to be performing mega stadium concerts and they need the ammo. For crying out loud U2 is one of Chris Martins main influence and look at the path that band has taken, so why does this surprise you? A good amount of you will say then that they aren't making music for the real fans or the old fans anymore then, these are a bunch of grown men with a job, with a different life then they had when they wrote every other album, every album evolves and keeps up with them, accept it. If you don't like the, feel free not to listen, you wont be alone. Congratulations to the boys on finishing the album, i'm more then excited to see what they have came up with this time! P.S. I'm not to fond of Rihanna being on a Coldplay album either, but like I said, they have the resources to do so now and it will DEFINITELY open them up to a wider audience which is great for them, maybe not for you because it makes you feel like they're alienating you the real coldplay fan but your really no more then the average fan who believes they were put on this earth to cater directly to you and to be secret favorite band, and your personal identity instead of their own
