I fully agree with the original poster.
A band as big as this has to push them self’s and change their sound each time.. that is understood. But this is a copy of American timberland crap! Its not inventive, im talking about the production,. They are not breaking ground, but using something that was out 3 years ago! It’s not even a new sound anymore! As for the song, just imagine Chris doing this alone on an acoustic, PARA PARA, Sorry but this is the beginning of the end, They peaked with AROBTTH and ever since there its getting worse. I love band and have seen them many times, front row. Im too don’t know how to defend them anymore.. where is that British indie rock bulls.. Shiver! That’s what Coldplay are, 4 great musicians smashing it and singing their hearts out!.
Im not disappointed, im really confused.. I just can’t understand what they are thinking. A guess the reality of their day to day lives is far different from us ordinary folk.. I love you Chris, but you’re way out of touch.
Im heartbroken and know many old fans will feel this way. Great if you love it, but to me that’s halo syndrome, you would love what ever they do and have not real perspective. You are like a football fan, they can do no wrong. At the end of the day I like great music, and in the last 10 years Coldplay have been leaders in that. But it looks like that just came to a blinding halt!
