Coldplay album review - nastiest review ever?

[Uncle Spielberg]

How fantastically snobbish. So come on then - what wondrously crafted music do you listen to? And more to the point will the rest of us enjoy listening to it? I don't really want to be intellectually challenged listening to music, I want to ENJOY it.

Only stuff that will change the World.

That's rich coming from you.

edit: (without wishing to be unpleasant) most times I have seen you post an opinion on something which someone later disagrees with you seem unable to accept that their opinion differs to your own without it being a windup or them being married to a supermodel or something

Yeah, I used to be a bit of a pompous pr*ck it has to be said

Radiohead are similar to Coldplay imo, not the music but they seem to be reverred for their Stadium indulgences. If Chris Martin had written " Let Down " he would be called a snivelling, self pitying sh*t but as Tom Yorke wrote it, it is genius. Seems different rules are applied to different people.

I think Coldplay are quite cheery compared to Radiohead.

Lets dance to Let Down !

A sky full of stars is what Coldplay can do other than that it is disapointing.

There are a lot of bands that I can't stand. Mainly Coldplay. I think they're everything that's wrong and bad - not just about music, but probably the world. They're saying nothing. It's kind of music for estate agents, sort of going round the supermarket: "oh, I'll have Coldplay in my basket, I'll go home and listen to it when I have a dinner party." Music is a creative thing, y'know, it's like painting or writing a book, so to do something so unimaginative and so run-of-the-mill and everyday...it's like a missed opportunity to do something great.

Coldplay invented that sort of high pitched drivel that, briefly, everyone copied then got bored leaving Chris Martin and the gang wailing away to a simple note progression on a piano over and over and over.

I've always loathed it myself and find it about as interesting to listen to as a bloke with eczema of the scrotum, and bitten nails, scratching himself through his underpants.

Really ? you have that much hate for a group ? Incredible.

I was thinking down the lines of Marmite.

No, I don't hate them personally... I just find their format highly tedious.

I mentioned earlier that I'd met Chris Martin by chance in my mates kitchen. He was a nice bloke.

He asked me about my job...in those days I was a sales rep...so I was telling him all about my boring life, my **** of a boss and whatnot...after about ten minutes of me crapping on and him listening politely I realised what I was doing and stopped mid sentence ans said.."ffs Chris can't we talk about your world tour or your platinum selling albums instead?"

If the bloke gets so wound up by Coldplay, I guess it is fair to assume he's never been forced to listen to Ph!l C@!!i&ns.
