This. thisthisthis. Just--EVERYTHING. UGH. The amount of synths / ambience in Viva was perfect. . . . But there's just too much of it in MX :blank:

Do want moar bassline . . . do nawt want moar electronics :no: Eew ambience :snobby: :nod: You have no idea how badly I want LP6 to be their Rock album :dazzled: Packed full of songs like Violet Hill and Politik and How You See The World and Major Minus and God Put A Smile Upon Your Face and . . . *trails off awkwardly*

OMG have fun :dazzled: Our band is going to Florida over Thanksgiving break this year :dance:

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? :huh:

I really, really hope you're right *rocks back and forth* *shoots self in the head* :dead: But you're Enoxificated, Mark :P

No, I'm pretty sure he was being serious! :wreck: I know, I laid awake for like an hour that night just staring at the ceiling and hoping that the guys weren't going to take that direction for LP6 I'll see if I can find you a link . . .

I did too whenever I first heard that :bigcry: I think it was in an interview about them coming to Australia in November where the interviewer asked him what sort of music they'd been listening to recently . . . and Chris said Skrillex :bomb:

Congrats, Julia :D EDIT: Woo! Let the countdown to spring break begin! :dance:

First of all, props to everyone in this thread for keeping things civil, especially with a touchy topic like this! This just summed up my thoughts perfectly. Viva was an amazing, unique, all around brilliant album. It was the guys taking a big chance and having it pay off . . . the difference between Viva and MX is that this time, they took a chance and fell short of the mark. Instead of taking the good elements of Viva and adding a twist or a new take on them (think of the transition from Parachutes to ARoBttH), they just threw a ton of other stuff on top of what they already had. I'd also like to see what would happen if they split with Brian Eno for their next album :nod: It's all about promotion :shrug: Personally, I would choose Clocks, Fix You, and any other song from the previous albums over what they played at the ball. I completely agree with you. Coldplay haven't regressed, necessarily, but I do think they have hit a rough patch as far as their songwriting abilities. Their 'new' stadium sound just doesn't cut it for me--Paradise and ETiaW are by far my least favorite live songs (apologies to those of you that do enjoy the live versions), partially because of the abundance of backing tracks, but also because the lyrics are very far below par and Chris either a) can't quite hit that high note or b) is too out of breath from jumping around to sing properly. But it's just a low spot in their career, they'll get out of it. No worries :)
