Who voted for Radiohead? :laugh3:

My post was directly in response to Prospector's post.

wut

I guess winky smiley faces don't mean what they used to. I must be getting old.

To be fair, Coldplay isn't known for their music videos (I still find elephant heads one of the dumbest things ever).

May I introduce you to a song called Up in Flames? :wink3:

No, although I do think Chris Martin tries too hard to be funny.

Is it really though? Aren't the poll results reflecting what you would expect?

Congrats Occupy Wall Street, way to hurt the 99% with your protests: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/220475

Why would you ever want an economic collapse?

If you actually read my post, I said Radiohead can be considered "relatively mainstream." Do they have radio-friendly songs like Coldplay? Not since the OKC days. But don't kid yourself and think they're some obscure indie band.

Ironic considering how many times I've been called a "hipster" on this forum. Cheers though to keeping an open mind about things! :thumbsup:

I swear this "argument" appears every couple of days so this is the last time I'm going to respond: 1) Pop isn't necessarily bad - some of the best songs in the past decade have been "pop" songs. Examples: Umbrella, Bad Romance, Crazy in Love, Can't Get You Out of My Head, etc. 2) Mainstream isn't necessarily bad - just because a band or musical artist commands a wide audience doesn't suddenly make them bad. I'd argue Radiohead is relatively "mainstream" but does that somehow diminish their body of work? 3) At the end of the day, do these musical genres really matter? Are you more inclined to like a song if it's considered indie rock?

Awkward.

It's really not although if you try to get an invite through the interview process on their IRC channel, you better know the basics like transcoding between lossless and lossy formats.

:thumbsup:

You need invites.

To be fair, you can get an invite by passing the interview process. Just read up on stuff like performing a lossless to lossy transcode and you should be fine.

:ninja: Shh!!! No seriously, I've already mentioned invite-only torrent sites like What.cd and Waffles.fm. There are other music blogs/forums (I won't include here in this message out of respect to Coldplaying) that are well-documented sites for hosting leaks. I'm only trying to help the eager users who are visiting sites and clicking on links they shouldn't be, all because they want to hear the album first. You will not find leaks by googling for it or searching on twitter, at least in the very first days. Be patient: when it leaks, you will know. I'm keeping an eye out on waffles so we'll see what happens.

You have to keep in mind the source of the review considering the fact that Q magazine seems to give at least 4 out of 5 stars to any release (Not to mention the fact that Q magazine was never a great source for music news). It's funny how people just seemed to sweep aside the Spin review which only gave the album a 7 out of 10. At the very least, this will probably be better than X&Y, one of the worst albums I have ever listened to.

You guys are looking in the wrong places for album leaks....

Keep checking sites like What.cd or Waffles.fm for authentic leaks. Save yourself the possibility of downloading a broken file or worse, malware.
