I can't even find any evidence supporting this gig's existence... Can someone help?

Thanks for seeing my side of things. We disagree about an older album's quality but that shouldn't get in the way of this thread, which is about a new album.

Let me re-phrase. Stop trying to cause bother or I'm reporting you. Is that better?

Funny seeing as you're the one who started the X&Y debate. Just stop it.

Can we please just just stay away from the topic? Leave it for another thread, this isn't about X&Y.

Link to the setlist?

lolwut

Well you're constantly posting so I'm not sure how else I'm supposed to take it other than "I want to try and cause an argument here"

Thanks :p

Piss off, take it elsewhere if you wanna argue about X&Y

He says a lot of things he soon contradicts :laugh3:

Well that is kind of my explanation. For starters the songs don't hold up anywhere near as well as on AROBTTH or even Parachutes. I mean they'd had the promising debut album and in many peoples' opinions they have shown they had the strength to stay with AROBTTH, but X&Y didn't progress anything. It was bloated, the songs were meandering and forgettable for the most part and it came very close to being a self-parody IMO It doesn't help that the songwriting is generally the weakest from any Coldplay album either

They may release a follow-up album sooner than we think. Has anyone else pondered this?

The songs weren't epic, they didn't experiment and they weren't growing as a band. Maybe you are mistaken with Viva la Vida or A Rush of Blood to the Head?

As do I, but Coldplay have proven that they can't pull off a lengthy album

I love the ending to Twisted Logic, that's why it's there, so you were right haha

this

A lot of people think it's their weakest as well, it's not a bad album by any means though

Of course I'm being subjective, how do you expect me not to be I'd also like to know what makes you think I'm being 'crazy'

I don't see the problem here

I won't be able to see them sadly. Don't have the money atm :/ Been wanting to see them for as long as I can remember too. :(

I hope they do know what they're doing, but they aren't perfect. Like I said, X&Y.... :/ One of the reasons I like Parachutes and VLV so much is because they were concise and never felt bloated, it looks like they've gone back to cramming as much as possible on there though

14 tracks. Maybe this will be about 60 minutes long? The last time Coldplay made an album that long was X&Y and I don't know about you guys but I and many other people consider it their weakest album by quite some distance. I'm worried this album will be too bloated or not have enough going on to hold my interest for the full 14 tracks. Anyone else feel this way?
