wow they KILLED karma police. so good. :o

Just finished my first listen. I don't care to give this a numbered rating. I hope this will grow on me, but am not sure it will. It's just not very good. I can't find many more words to say. There's a few nice moments. Most of the album is so overproduced... In Interpol's song "Obstacle 2", there's a line that goes: "Friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell". It seems, Coldplay have run out of "words". They have nothing meaningful, nothing of true quality to add anymore. Now they've gotten drunk, yelling words repetitively, dancing around in elephant costumes, and throwing a bunch of production on songs that would otherwise be stale. I'll always love Coldplay so, so much. However, if this is all they can come up with, it's time to stop. :cry:

I know bands change, but, how can you go from this... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb_7C1vMpRQ&feature=related]Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head (Live 2003) - YouTube[/ame] or this... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L_bEyRYu-Q&feature=related]Coldplay - Warning Sign (Live in Sydney 2003) - YouTube[/ame] ... to Paradise? How can anyone with good taste in music say they're "evolving", with a straight face?

It would be nice if they'd quit making songs for 13 year old girls and get some edge back. The days of GPASUYF are long gone, it appears. Major Minus live is obviously is an exception. Still, if I want to listen to synthy, poppy songs about butterflies, teardrops, paradise etc, I'll put on Owl Cty. I expect more from this band.

I thought Everything's Not Lost was fantastic.

I thought Everything's Not Lost was fantastic.

so. good.

I knew this song would bring out the Illuminati conspiracy folk.

This sums up how I feel about the song. Good post.

8/10. the filtered voice actually works for this song. i like it.

Hurts Like Heaven sounds WONDERFUL!

agreed. from what i can make out of the video, HLH sounds great.

LOL! Wow, this is really bad. Sorry, I love Coldplay to death, but this is REALLY bad. Bands must evolve, but this is de-evolution! Hopefully this is solely a summer festival song, and isn't on the album. I'm not too worried about LP5 though. I didn't care for Violet Hill when it came out, but loved VLV. It's only one song.

The lyrics remind me... dare I say.... of Owl City.

It looks cool. Kinda reminds me of Speed of Sound... :lol:

So, Coldplay's in Arcade Fire AND Radiohead's bracket. Oh man!

As of right now: Bloom, Feral, Lotus Flower, Give up the Ghost
