  1. 1) Chris voice sounds totally fucked up to me
    2) I think their music isn't made for big crowds and huge stadiums. They should do it like Radiohead (the OTHER band which highly influenced them); small arena's/clubs, up close, personal etc. Way better..
    3) The songs aren't Coldplayish anymore
    4) Too mainstream
    5) Just listen to AROBTTH and Parachuttes right now and you'll hear what I mean...

    1) Using less falsetto is actually good
    2) They don't play big stadiums. They only play in arenas.
    3) Look at U2 and Achtung Baby. That's not like JT or anything they made before. But would you call it not U2-ish now? I highly doubt it
    4) MAINSTREAM?! mainstream is now pop and r'n'b, craps like Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Jonas Brothers,....
    5) listen to U2's first three albums and you won't find the same band in AB, HTDAAB or not even in JT
  5. there's some awesome retro stuff in Chelsea Online Megastore
  6. will be back at 21:45

    Hhe's singing in a lower register....i like it

    Notice how they havent been playing any big stadiums, or anything outdoors. When Viva la Vida was played on the today show it wasn't good because it was outside. However it is up close and personal. They could go smaller, but they're selling out indoor arenas.

    So Coldplay have taken a left turn. Did U2 sound U2-ish when Achtung came out? Of course not.

    Actually Viva la Vida, Violet Hill and Lost are the only singles. The BEST song off the album is Death and All His Friends.

    AROBTTH is good, but to me Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends has a complete feeling. What about X&Y? The band nearly broke up after they released that. If anything, this new album saved them.

    I love falsetto's (LEMON!), they are still trying to be too big, no matter where they play, the change of style went totally wrong IMO...

    VLV is one huge, commercial, MAINSTREAM (I mean mainstream rock) release...

    which band would want to stay a small......ant?

    I don't think that the mainstream rock bands make their songs sound like ghost stories. Cemeteries of London, Lost, Yes, Chinese Sleep Chant and Death And All His Friends sound like ghost stories.


  11. I'm back> technical issues

    I don't really know, it just seems so commercial, over the top. I don't have a really good reason for it, it just makes me feel that way...the songs are also quite depressing, it doesn't make me happy at all...
