Got in a mini-twitter battle with the Pitcfork Ghost Stories reviewer.
Interesting to read his thoughts. Proves how subjective reviews really are, even though there's a magazine/newspaper/website attached to it.

^Wow. I like the studio version but live it's killer!

I might join the crying-fest, my hotel is booked. Seems like there will be more people outside crying than inside smiling.

Is O the best song Coldplay have ever recorded?
Yeah I'm afraid this might happen to me as well (and not just this song), so I still haven't listened to it a second time. I'm big on saving songs. I only listen to shit music because I save up the good ones.

Post pictures of the gorgeous Chris
I like her style too and her English chattiness, judging on about two of her shows I watched. She seemed down to earth.

I never knew she's hated. People praise her for her style so I thought it was mainly love.

Coldplays sexiest song?
I appreciate your post MosesTheMarshmallow, thank you. Didn't mean to start a discussion though and like ARoBttH14 said, we've ended it already, so let's just get back on topic.

I like Alexa. Whatever she is to him, a friend, a friend with benefits, a girlfriend... It's great if he has a friend, right? However he better not think she's a better girlfriend than Jonny.

Coldplays sexiest song?
Yeah I was afraid of this. I was typing a nuanced explanation but I didn't want to turn it into something so I left it at the three words. It was just an observation, and it was also tongue-in-cheek. (People talking about sexism and then someone mentioning male/female.) I never tried to put you on the spot ARoBttH14, if I did I'm sorry. I am not a feminist. I just wished people didn't think in gay versus straight, or even male versus female, because it's not that black and white. That's all.

Coldplay on 'The Graham Norton Show' May 30th
He's weird, maybe the fame got to his head but I enjoy most of his movies. I think he's an easy target. The Scientology stuff seems creepy though.

Coldplays sexiest song?
Yes is the most obvious one, and Another's Arms, in terms of lyrics. I think Politik is sexy too, and Violet Hill but more because of the way they sound. Speaking of sexist...

Coldplay on 'The Graham Norton Show' May 30th
Graham's sofa is full of stars - Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, starring in new sci-fi thriller Edge Of Tomorrow, his co-star, actress Emily Blunt, Oscar winner Charlize Theron and Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, promoting his new film A Million Ways To Die In The West. Plus music from Coldplay, who perform A Sky Full of Stars. Would Tom Cruise like Coldplay? Might be nice music to run to. [video=youtube;odg4UFk-a58]

Oceans
The ending reminds me of the ending of My heart will go on by Celine Dion. Apologies. Edit: I looked it up, it's in a different key thank god.

Lowest rated Coldplay album on Metacritic
Fair point, although it doesn't mean people think this rationally when their brains are clouded with enthusiasm.

Fly On (hidden track PRIOR to O)
Yeah and also the album cover: wings + broken heart.

Lowest rated Coldplay album on Metacritic
You and everyone stating the same are right, you shouldn't give a shit. But I also get why you would want others to love something you love. Isn't that essentially why we're on this forum, or why everyone is on social media? If we truly didn't care what anyone else thinks there'd be nothing to read here. No one would ever use the thumbs up button or start an argument. Personally, I'm not above every opinion all the time and I know I'm not the only one. It can be a bummer if people dislike what you like, especially if it's someone who's supposed to be a professional on the matter. Maybe because things like music can be part of who you are as a person. In the end, it shoudn't change your opinion but if you do want the album to get high ratings, it's OK. Now, who is the asshole from The Quitus?

Ghost Stories unboxing thread!!!
Well, I've got it. Arrived half an hour ago. Unfortunately, I'm going to send it back. I hate it. No I decided after hearing the bonus tracks to wait for the deluxe edition. So I cancelled my order yesterday, but it was too late and it came anyway. They're making this very difficult for me. I'm such an ungrateful person... :bigcry:

O (part 2)
So much for keeping your private life separate from your profession, Chris. Your ex-wife is in every song and your kids are in two. Seriously though, his kid(s) did a great job. Love both O's.

Criticisms with the album?
Main complaint: ASFOS. Not sure yet about Ink and True Love, but I have faith in True Love (hey that sounds funny). I reluctantly forgive Chris his lyrics because in this case, he needed to vent. It's fair if he's less profound in an emotional rant. I would have preferred more mature lyrics but at least this is what he wanted to say. He gets my respect for possibly being his most open since Parachutes and he wasn't even famous back then. I don't think this album is more about him than previous ones. Yes they're a band and the others have a lot of influence, but he's the main songwriter, the one who comes up with melodies as well as lyrics. It's always been about him, you just notice it more because you know what's been going on in his life and he's honest about it. Also, the fact that there's less drums doesn't mean Will had less of an influence. I also like the darker songs best and wished they'd focused on just that. But I'm relieved they didn't continue on their MX path and took a 180 degree turn. Or maybe 135.
