Coldplay, Anyone like their newer stuff?

A lot of people i talk to only like their first 2 albums, but i'm the complete opposite!, i find them a bit morbid and depressing. I think with each album they've got better and better, really digging the more upbeat postive direction they've taken with their last 2 albums espescially, anyone else in the same camp as me?

We're here, might as well get into it.

I've tried to get into them several times but haven't found anything good by them other than Viva La Vida (song)

Eh, i liked Viva LA Vida & Parachutes.

But there new stuff is rather boring to me & to poppy.

I would say it doesn't sound that different from a Maroon 5 album nowadays.

I do feel kind of bad for Coldplay...

they are becoming one of those bands that are ''cool'' to hate like Nickelback.

Yet when songs like Clocks, Viva La Vida & The Scientist came out people where dick ridin hard!, so peeps need to stop claiming to not like coldplay just because it's ''cool''

Not saying some peeps don't just dislike them lol , but i don't get why all of a sudden there' a huge backlash against them.

I'm basically with you. I think they've improved overall, but I'd say the album Viva la Vida is far and away their high water mark. The first two albums have great songs (especially "Shiver" and "In My Place"), but their share of filler. X&Y is overlong. I think the last album is more consistent than the first 3 even though it doesn't have the standout singles.

There kind of like Nickelback & Creed.

There bands that many don't like (Including me) But others just say oh yeah they suck yada yada cause others say so.

Nickelback sure where big for awhile & i know a lot of peeps who liked them try to act brand new lol

And if i may ask why is Coldplay shit? i mean there early stuff has rather good harmonies, melodies & some decent musicianship.

When i ask people why Coldplay sucks 9/10 they always say ''Because chris martin is gay''

I gotta give them some more credit too, for just doing the kind of music they wanna do, and not caring what the "hipsters" think, which might be considered being "gay" and "poppy", but who cares what those idiots think, you gotta do what's in your heart cool

Honestly, I still like their first album the best [as a whole]. They've had songs I really like on their other albums. But none of their later albums really match the consistency of the first album imo.

Oh, I see. I'm generally not around people who dislike something to be cool, or to be in with the shitcrowd.

Why are Coldplay shit? Just my opinion, whining and instantly forgettable. Most of my colleagues like them though, but they're cunts.

I heard a lot of their first two albums, but have only heard the other three sporadically.

Not my cup of Twinnings.

meh

in my opinion, they were "just" an excellent singles band (Yellow, Clocks, In My Place, Speed of Sound, good tunes), but I couldn't be bothered with their albums

their last good single was "Viva la Vida", F-O-U-R years ago neutral
