Re: Coldplay
i read that reviews for X&Y aren't as good as first 2, i think X&Y is the their best album. i literally JUST got into them 2 weeks ago. now i have all of their albums+live. the storyteller thing is just amazing. tells of how they made each of the popular songs and inspirations, etc. they're all just extremely talented =).
in the storytellers, they say that it takes ages for all of them to work on an album. gosh, when was the last time you heard a band working on ALBUMS instead of song by song? i really just like how they approach the whole music thing. pretty humble. of course, the music soounds awesome. i dunno the lyrics half the time, it's the melodies that pull me in everytime.
i like them over radiohead, despite the comparisons.

Re: Coldplay
I'm not familiar with a lot of their music, but they seem to me to come from the same general place as Radiohead and Porcupine Tree but deciding to go for a less progressive and more poppy sound.
Not that there's anything wrong with that -- the other angle's for me though.

Re: Coldplay
Radiohead and Coldplay: apples and oranges, I think. I like them both but for very different reasons.

Re: Coldplay
i've been playing all 3 albums in heavy rotation for many weeks now straight and i'm still not tired. my fav. types of music is when i fall in love with the melody of the music. in fact, with most of my fav. bands, i still dunno what the lyrics are!!! lol.
i like how all 3 albums are an emotional journey somewhere's. again, not having the lyrics, i dunno where. but just the feelings it evokes, THAT'S MUSIC!
i haven't achieved it much with many bands over the years.
