DirtyDeeds Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I agree with SofaKing. I really don't like Chris Martin's voice. I think it's horrible. Always the high whiny thing, never any just singing. Otherwise, Coldplay are not bad at all. I have their first two albums. But another thing I do not like about them is the way that in many of their songs, they just strum the same chord over and over and over in the same straight steady pattern, always a downstroke, never switching up the strumming pattern. That's one thing about their style I can't stand. Those are my criticisms, but I DO listen to them and enjoy them, don't get me wrong. Nothing wrong with a few criticisms for anyone. But the thing about being a "perfect album"... BULL!! That would be bull for anyone! Perfection doesn't exist, I don't care who made the album.

slashs_servant Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I think Chris has a great voice. All the critisizms against coldplay are unwarranted. They are a great band, they are the next U2, just not as gay, and as try hardish. Bono thinks he fronts the greatest band that has ever lived, when in fact they are shit, and have written the corniest songs of all time.I'm downloading the new coldplay album now, ill give it a good listen. I've just given up on the foo fighters album, my conclusion is its absolute crap! Out of exile is acceptable. Lets hope X&Y is really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody_Roses Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) Probably one of the most boring bands to hit the mainstream since Keane and Maroon 5. Edited June 9, 2005 by Bloody_Roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slashs_servant Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Yeh fair enough. Maybe there wasnt enough clarity ther, but i was trying to say is their music is similiar. They deliver messages through their music, its the best way i can put it, and it is very sentimental just like U2, but in a much less generic and cornier way...

thomyorke Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Probably one of the most boring bands to hit the mainstream since Keane and Maroon 5. 1. They hit the mainstream before.2. Have you heard the song "Shiver"? You would not call them generic if you had heard some of their best work.3. Keane are a big pile of steaming dog cack so at least we agree on something.

I love how much he raves on about Coldplay being great then downloads the album instead of buying the cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzbubble Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Probably one of the most boring bands to hit the mainstream since Keane and Maroon 5. i wouldn't go that far, but i agree maroon 5 and keane are utter crap.I don't really mind coldplay. I have two of their album, but haven't yet bought new one, but might do after i've heard a bit more. There are quite a few things i don't like about coldplay though:1)chris marins lyrics - cliches, cornie.....2)the bands obsession with "make trade free" - i just don't care, but more importantly whenever a debate is happening on the issue, chris turns up and often contributes very very little.

Appetite18 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I don't like Coldplay because really they just seem like U2 copoffs and they probably think they are the next U2. I liked some of thier songs off the parachutes album but the stuff thats played on the radio and on MTV is just terrible. Speed of Sounds video is so damn annoying.
