Without being overly cynical, I think they're fine. Arabesque could have used some more noodling to it. Orphans is obviously their "hit" so yeah whatever. It is a good pop track though.

Birds slapped

I don't know where else to say this but I finally found the original FLAC distribution of Draft 8 (I think it was 8) of Square Peg in a Round Hole that was released on a hi-fi site as a promo. I lost the FLAC copy and had some shitty mp3s that were converted way back when but god it feels good to have my personal favorite version of the album back.

doc was gud by the way. Wish is was a little longer or spent more time on each era but the archive footage is primo.

How could you not be influenced by them, OKC just came out when they started putting tracks out. All of Safety, Easy to Please, Only Superstition, and High Speed are very obviously influenced by them.

Just came across this. If anyone else knows of source quality stuff like this from old sets please post them

The only X&Y scraps I like are Pour Me and Gravity The rest are like out of a lab or something

Yeah they get it right now and then. Makes it very hard to understand their choices haha.

The line about them not caring about critics is probably my least favorite thing about them as a band. If you want to exclude their criticism from your design you better turn around with something as fantastic or acclaimed as VLV or AROBTTH. When you say "we don't care" and make AHFOD, it actually sounds like you said "we don't care about our music"

Being a Speed of Sound hater makes that article extra funny to me. X&Y is a better space song, and just better altogether really for me.

The most important artist of the 21st century rubbing off on Chris? Kanye's artistic vision is clear when you stack the timelines next to each other. Viva and MBDTF, 808s and GS, TCD/LR/Graduation Para/Rush of blood/X&Y. Then we get a split where Kanye continues to push himself artistically with Yeezus and TLOP while Coldplay recedes into pop with AHFOD. Idk if I'll get through with this because as someone who deeply respects Kanye and everything he's done it's hard for me to not see it.

If only we were so blessed for Kanye to influence Chris.

It's a joke but I remember seeing the first MX promos post VLV hair era (best hair) and he just looked significantly different. Obviously this was because of his hair, not his fresh new cyborg eyes.

It's lyrics like that which make me think about my personal conspiracy theory that Chris was cloned and replaced after VLV. Look at his eyes! Seriously you can't tell me it isn't plausible, where's that conspiracy thread again?

"Life is Beautiful" made my eyes roll so hard looking at the title but it's fortunately slightly above embarrassing. It is pretty much Don Quixote run through the AHFOD machine.

It's safe to say when the band is said and done no one is gonna talk about how Live 2012 (or 2017?) had the best performance of Yellow, Clocks, etc.

What's even crazier to me is opening with an instrumental. I like MX but it's always paired with HLH, it's more of an extended intro. I can't see 2017 Coldplay having the balls to say "We're gonna open with this track and let the music speak for itself". It's a level of respect they had for their own music that I don't see anymore. You're not pleasing old fans by shitting out a performance of In My Place 20 times on the tour.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you mean a chord progression? edit: Paradise uses a couple minor chords in a progression that I guess is atypical for a top 40.

Could you expand on that? Interested to hear what you have to say.

would kill for X&Y to be played live again. Top ten choruses in their history.

Only 2?

Had some real garbage traffic yesterday and listened to the whole album on what should have been a 20 minute drive. AROBTTH always makes me think about Ok Computer for some reason. The Tourist feels like it could sneak into AROBTTH unnoticed.
