Mother of god no.

Fun fact: The live versions of Mylo were SOOOOOOOOOO much better than the actual album. Lost! and Chinese Sleep Chant say hi.

You're telling me that "Amsterdam is good" is an opinion?

What I'm saying is that although it's a good album, it's not the best. Take a look at AROBTTH. It has a total of 11 tracks, with Daylight and A Whisper being the weakest. Now take a look at VLV. It has a total of 13 tracks, with Cemeteries of London, Lost and Chinese Sleep Chant being the weakest. Now, we've seen teh worst of each album, we must take a look at the best. For AROBTTH, we have Politik, In My Place, GPASUYF, The Scientist, Clocks, Warning Sign, AROBTTH, and Amsterdam being some proper good songs. For VLV, we have 42, Lovers in Japan, Viva la Vida, Violet Hill, Strawberry Swing, and DAAHF. The rest of the songs that I've omitted in both albums are only mediocre. Now, time for some maths. AROBTTH: 2/11 songs bad, 8/11 songs good. VLVODAAHF: 3/13 songs bad, 6/13 songs good. Bust out a calculator and you'll find that for a common denominator we get 143. So it's 26/143 vs. 33/143 for bad (AROBTTH vs. VLVODAAHF) And 104/143 vs. 66/143 for good (AROBTTH vs. VLVODAAHF) Case closed.

Correction: The magic of these two is that they're actually good, compared to X&Y and crap like that. Also, VLV is overrated.

See: Mylo Xyloto, X&Y. Both of them have the most number of songs per album (exluding b-sides and bonus content) Are they good? Not even close.

He's too overrated, so we left him out.

ERMAGHERD IZ MUH REDIOHED!!1!!!1

This bit x10000000000000000. Seriously, Talk Show Host ROCKS.

Then I must not exist! The reason I don't like X&Y is because I find the songs on it are incredibly generic and some of them are just really bad (Read: What If, X&Y, Low, Swallowed in the Sea). I literally can't stand the album. It marks where Coldplay (IMO) went bad.

Le epic accidental doublepost.

Advertising much?

10/10

I'll call in Pink Floyd for my own entertainment thank you very much. I really hope that last bit was sarcasm. But muh Rediohed! This post x1000000000000.

FTFY

Let me tweak that a bit. "THINGS! EXCITEMENT! REACTION .GIFS! ARGUING! LOTS AND LOTS OF GOOD AND BAD MUSIC! CHAOS! So basically business as usual. "

Will be checking it out. A lot of them are due to overation. But yeah, taste. I hope that they produce AROBTTH 2.0. Then they will have redeemed themselves in my eyes. I'm not saying that EVERYTHING post-AROBTTH is bad. There's some good stuff here and there (Read: Ghost Story, DAAHF, Charlie Brown, Twisted Logic). But most of the stuff isn't to my taste. Also, another Politik would be nice. What? Chris likes One Direction? Oh shit we are all screwed. Can't quite argue with that. But why can't they be like Radiohead and have the new things be good? Ahem, a bit of a sweeping statement there. So you don't dislike X&Y? Or Ghost Stories? You are one strange person.

You build the walls, I'll tear 'em down. Let's start. Take Me to Church: Never heard of it. Can't judge. Turn Down for What: Cheap electronics, complete lack of any coherent sense or lyrics, and all the vocals are is a guy shouting into a mic. Riptide: Nevah heard of it. Stay With Me: Cheesy lyrics, annoying vocals, and oh yeah, romance related. Don't: It's Ed Sheeran. That's a bad enough thing. 'Nuff said. Black Space: It's Taylor Swift. That's a bad enough thing. 'Nuff said. Uptown Funk: Never heard of it. 0-100: It's Drake. That's a bad enough thing. 'Nuff said. Beyonce's self titled record doesn't count, because A: That's an album, not a song. B: It's Beyonce. Stolen Dance: Who? What? Two Weeks: Huh? Say what? But that's the problem. If you don't dare to do things, you'll never be outstanding. Funfact: I think VLVODAAHF is waaaaay overrated. And really, it's the non-poppy stuff in MX that's good. Charlie Brown, UATW, and Major Minus are where the album really stands out. But there's too much stuff clogging the good songs up. GS's most distinct sound is Midnight. And that's really it. But the problem is, the last FOUR albums (remember, I hate everything post-AROBTTH) have had just too many cheap songs. I don't even want to try to list them all. Whatever happened to good songs like Yellow or Politik?

Indeed I am.

"No need to be mean" Let's start with you. No sarcasm or anything there, but seriously. Your reply was obnoxious as hell. Who on earth says "I was (insert action here) before you were born."? Seriously. "You don't like DarkSide? Or you don't like Coldplay?" I like both. But to be more specific, I like pre-X&Y era Coldplay. So Parachutes and AROBTTH. "And yes, before you born would be more than accurate if you were born in 1996❤️" Fun fact: you need to work on your grammar. There should be a "were" in between "you" and "born". And don't get me started on how annoying I find emoticons used as sarcasm. Yes. What? Acceptable? No! Fine, I'll admit that some of the individual songs are acceptable. (Read: Charlie Brown, AIMH.) But to the most part, stuff like most of Mylo Xyloto, ASFOS, Another's Arms, that stuff is unacceptable. You think COLDPLAY has abnormal sounds, melodies and song structures? Seriously, let's take Dark Side for an example. The entire album has sound effects (quotes, helicopter blades, running), song 6 (Money) is written in 7/8 time, and song 5 (The Great Gig in the Sky) had ALL of its vocals improvised. If that's not abnormal then I don't know what is. Here's the problem. We're not getting any more good pop. It's stopped since, what, 2011? Find me ONE song on mainstream radio that was written in 2014 that doesn't include cheap electronics, romance related lyrics, or horrible vocals. I wish you luck. I for one, absolute HATE Lorde. You call THAT singing? Seriously? That's just slurring into a microphone. "We had hit songs that repeated 'ass ass ass ass' over and over" was an understatement. I mean seriously, we have any artist that sings about NOTHING but sexual acts. And the actual music he makes is beyond shit. Never heard of "Latch". Was too busy trying to find something good about Ghost Stories that wasn't AIMH. We said the same thing about Justin Bieber too. And we were wrooooong. I've said that about too many songs in my time. And I've been so wrong. But the problem is that now we're getting NOTHING but shallow/trend following crap! Like I said, find me ONE song on mainstream radio that was written in 2014 that doesn't include cheap electronics, romance related lyrics, or horrible vocals. Yeah, look at Clocks, Trouble, GPASUYF, and Don't Panic. Were they mainstream or anything like that? No! Were they love songs? No! THAT is exactly what Coldplay needs to be doing! You see, the reason why stuff like Dark Side and OK Computer are so good is because neither of them are just an album full of love songs (Read: Ghost Stories). Exit Music (For a Film) and Lucky from OK Computer are the only two songs I can think of that are love songs. And even then they aren't cliche and mainstream. Both songs do something unique that sets them apart. And I'm just sitting here trying to figure out the difference between Don't Let it Break Your Heart and Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. See, THAT is the problem. People are liking this crap. The day people start complaining and Coldplay stops making money from these songs is the day that they will get their shit together and start making good stuff again.

By "before you born" you mean 2005 right? Because I was born in 1996. (Read: dalekslayer96) Also, your grammatical errors and taste in music really isn't helping justify or prove your statement.

Seriously, you're being too nice. The day I started listening to things that were non-Coldplay was the day I realized that their new stuff is unacceptably bad. I mean, seriously, go take a listen to Dark Side of the Moon and OK Computer and you'll see what I'm talking about. This post x10000. Seriously, this is true. Mainstream pop is shiiiit now. Look at this year. The number of atrocities we've had. Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Nicki Minaj, Jason Derulo, I can go on and on, but I won't because there is no end.

Oh. So the baby slid down the stairs and drank the milk like no shit happened?

What and how?
