So I am dfminkle responding to his tweet that it was "painful for him to give that review because Coldplay is one of his favorite bands."
Honestly, I still call it BS, but he claims that if he were to have reviewed the previous albums for pitchfork he would have given these ratings:
Parachutes: 10.0
Rush of Blood: 8.6
X&Y: 5.0
Viva La Vida: 10.0
Prospekt's March: 9.2
Mylo Xyloto: 8.9
.. Strangely generous. Though I wish more people would give parachutes that kind of credit. Bu Mylo 8.9? What in the hell did he see in that album that he didn't see in ghost stories? I'd be fine with those ratings being swapped. Though I'd still put ghost stories at like a 7.5 or something.
Thoughts?
