5 common criticisms of Coldplay (and why they're wrong)
I mean all over the Internet really, but a lot of people on this forum (and I don't mean you by the way, if that's what it sounded like) like to think that they have some sort of immunity to criticism. And it's not like it's one person, usually the two people arguing are both doing it and so many threads degenerate to people just yelling at each other:shrug: But I really do like everyone on the forum these days. We've had a lot of trolls in the past but these days it's much less of an issue. But there are still a lot of really heated arguments being made around what I see as non issues. I may be guilty myself sometimes, it's just an issue that bugs me sometimes when every thread is in a big web fight or whatever.

Arctic Monkeys!
Check out Crying Lightning, Cornerstone, and something from Suck it and See (maybe the title track or Reckless Serenade? The album Suck it and See, at least to me, has a very different, but very good sound) as well as the ones Molly listed. The first one to me is a good indication for the "Humbug" sound, and Cornerstone mixes that sound with the more "pop" sounds heard on things like Florescent Adolescent I think.

Yeah that's what I was going for. Looking back I see the confusion. I wasn't talking about 1 particular person, I was speaking more of people in general and how they often try to claim this immunity. I hope this whole thing is more or less resolved now, differences aside:)

^This is exactly what I'm talking about. How long did that take you to write? I could go in and respond to how everything your saying is taking my point out of context or whatever but I don't have time for that and it just escalates the problem that I wish would stop. I will not be a part of this bickering sorry. And by the way I do come here to read about Coldplay, and I really don't see why you don't believe that. Why else would I come to the Coldplay section of a Coldplay forum? Not to read this stuff that's for sure.... Clearly neither do you. But again I don't want to make this any worse, or become part of the problem, so I am leaving this thread, and will probably not see any further replies :escaping:

That doesn't get people agitated though. It's the whole act of wanting to make an argument. This article is completely harmless, it is someone's opinion so all those people who disagree with it and then say they are just stating their opinion are being complete hypocrites. The argue, quite violently as I see it, against the article but when people argue against them they get all ticked off. Like their opinion is something special or something. Really. Like I said in my earlier post, you only gotta post once to get your opinion across. All this extra banter of saying why other people are wrong is stupid, and quite frankly, a waste of time. I come to the Coldplay section to read about Coldplay but all I ever see are these arguments. It really ruins it for me actually. I don't want to come in here and see hate, but all over the internet it's all I see. Arguments are gonna come up, I get that, it's the internet after all. But it's just too much now. You don't agree, you can post that and leave don't start World War 3 in the Coldplay section. Honestly though I don't see why people need to post their opinion. Maybe that's just me. It may go back to what I said before, that people want to say something they know will get people angry. I don't know, and I really don't care. Take the anger elsewhere people. This is a music forum, not the debate team or something.

We should all become Silencers and lock up all the people who bring their ridiculous anti-Coldplay rants onto a Coldplay forum, more directly the Coldplay section:P Seriously though, you'll go "bla bla bla my opinion guh grow up" but really you're just hear to tick of the Coldplay fans. It's some kind of weird complex people have over the Internet, they are entertained by getting people worked up. It's not about your "opinion" or whatever, you're just being annoying. You only have to post 1 thing for us to understand your opinion. You don't like Coldplay. We get it. You don't need to post why everyone's wrong and your views are valid. Nobody cares what you think just like I'm sure you don't care about what they think, so just stop. You're taking up valuable space on Ian's servers....:rolleyes:

The author of this knows what they're talking about. Congrats to whoever it is for writing this article, even though there's a pretty good chance it will be spammed with people making the exact arguments expressed in the article. About #1 too, everyone I know who is really into music (and by this I mean people who actually listen to albums and knows more than 3 artists) doesn't have a bad thing to say about Coldplay. Even if they don't like their sound they respect that they are a talented group. People just hate cause they wanna jump on the bandwagon or something, but usually those people don't really even listen to music.

My Bloody Valentine
What I've heard so far has a definite 90s sound. It's like a period piece actually, can't wait to relax and listen to the whole thing :)

Latin American Tour 2013 [CANCELLED - GENERAL DISCUSSION HERE]
I don't know if they are involved with touring or to what extent, but it could have something to do with their label. I know it's been suffering lately.:shrug: Maybe they are also waiting to work out a new contract with Coldplay before continuing or something, cause isn't the band's contract up or something? Again, I don't know if these thins effect touring or have already been resolved but I thought I'd out it out there...

Temples
Hey Coldplayers, a lot of you seem to be into psychedelic music and I thought you might wanna check out this new band Temples. They were formed by James Edward Bagshaw and Thomas Warmsley previously of indie-mod band The Moons (also really good, they did some stuff with Paul Weller). I've heard a lot of people who like Tame Impala like them, but I've never really listened to Tame Impala so I don't know. To me they fall somewhere between Revolver and Sgt. Pepper era Beatles (very "Freakbeat"). If your into really authentic 60s through back stuff like I am, check them out. These guys sound like the real deal. The only have 3 songs out so far s you can listen to THEM ALL! Shelter Song The Golden Throne Prisms
