I said it elsewhere...
... but it sounds like fucking Phil Collins.
its much better than the last album
but still nothing on parachutes.
If it sounded like someone fucking Phil Collins
it would actually be an improvement.
That gobshite Martin's remarks about Jay-Z being the best rapper in the world also demonstrate that the silly tosser has caught the worldwide celebrity disease for talking loudly about things you know nothing about.
^ this.
Jay-Z being the best rapper in the world? Yeaaaaaaaah... pass the bucket please.
It's cool to htae Coldplay
therefore I don't like it.
.
i don't like it

Bedtime boys
Oh! Mom!
Ah wuow Tryyy
Tah fix ooo
Oh my god
That cover is making me eyes bleed with awfulness.
Is that actually the fucking cover?!
I loved Parachutes, but...
...I have hated everything else since.
This is definitely an improvement, I reckon. I just hope that Coldplay doesn't make any more albums that are unquestionably mediocre, which is what X&Y was......undeniably mediocre.
Normally I wouldn't care if a crap band makes crap music. I just won't listen to it. Unfortunately, I think Chris Martin may be a pretty decent human, so all the best to him and his Radio1-friendly band.
Parachutes was pretty much ten years ago...
let's all remember this.
Decent human?
He drives a BMW X4 or whatever. He can't be that nice.
It's cool to hate Coldplay
therefore I don't like it.
It's not cool to hate Coldplay
it just shows that you've got decent taste in music.
His lyrics are poor and the music is pretty dull. No more to it than that.
but it helps
I just cant bring myself to listen to this! not that its cool or not just because its out of date
Shame
because I really like the cover.
The cover deserves better.
