I don't know why anyone would bother listening to Coldplay - I would rather have a pineapple violently inserted into my rectum - but here is a funny review that is featured on the rateyourmusic.com front page at the moment: I have to say, I wasn't expecting a new U2 album any time soon. They've got their two albums in for this decade, I figured. Imagine my surprise, then, when I heard a new U2 album playing at the record store last week. "What's this new U2 album you're playing called?" I asked the kid at the counter. "Coldplay?" he said. Dope must've had wax in his ears. I clearly had to avoid confusing him with things like band names and multi-syllabel words. "This one, this cd that you're playing this very second, the notes of which I can hear ringing in my ears. What's it called?!" I spoke loudly and slowly so the young genius would understand. He pointed to a rack of new releases. "Viva la Vida," he said with a smirk. The little shit. At least I knew what the release was called now. "You have that in vinyl?" He pointed to a rack of records next to the new release cds. "Comes with a cd," he said. "Fuck cds," I thought, but I kept that to myself. I was getting the new U2 album on vinyl and just from the snippet I was hearing at the store it sounded better than anything I'd heard them record in years. I didn't wait to put the record on when I got home. I went straight to my turntable, and after revelling on that unmatched feeling of removing the shrink wrap on a new record, I tossed it onto the turntable. I have to admit, at first I was a little disappointed. We've heard them do this intro before on the opener of The Joshua Tree. It's the exact same keyboard part, just played a little faster. Well, it didn't take long for the song to open up a bit, and then I understood what was going on--U2 was paying homage to themselves with this track. Soon The Edge's trademark digital delay sound was filling the room along with Bono's nasally v |

Soon The Edge's trademark digital delay sound was filling the room along with Bono's nasally vocals and I was in heaven. They haven't sounded this good in years. Bono's voice is a little thinner than normal. I suppose it's age. There are a lot of keyboards on Viva la Vida, more than one would expect from the Irish lads. I suppose it could have something to do with the theme of this record. They've done albums about God, death, adolescence, America and Berlin, what better way to tie the music into this record's theme--the French Revolution--than with lots of piano. The revolutionaries played piano a lot, right? Side one is full of soon-to-be-classic U2 songs, including "42", "Lovers in Japan", "Cemeteries of London" and "Reign of Love". Didn't they already record a song called "Reign of Love"? Is that just my imagination? Could be, I suppose. It's got some great Rattle and Hum-era guitar tones on it, like stuff from "Heartland". That Edge, he's a freakin' genius. "42" is one of the better songs on Viva la Vida, a fine match to its predecessor "40" from War. What happened to "41", though? I haven't been following the band closely enough, I guess. Side two is pretty good, too. Bono gives us some of his falsetto vocals on the title track. Good stuff. The funny thing is, occasionally, and especially on side two, it does sound a little like Coldplay. I can see why that little record store twit would be confused. Viva la Vida is easily the best U2 album I've heard in a long, long time. by atomicWedgie |

What if someone started a site called What Blacks Like? or whatever.. Nah, that would be RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn I'm fed up with these double standards. Discuss! |

what about the hundreds years of opression, slavery and colonialisation of black nations by white people? and you think its unfair somebody has made a website mocking white people. its pretty damn harmless. maybe you should grow some thicker skin. its a tinderbox subject for sure, and people will make knee jerk reactions. fact is that race shouldnt matter but it does and always will. |

Nothing wrong with racist humor, if it's actually funny. This article failed. Dave Chapelle nailed it. |

What the fuck! Should I feel guilty for what some stupid fucking evil doers did hundreds of years ago!? And for the records, blacks where ALSO slave masters, as where JEWS, Europeans, everybody was into it! Learn history... So no, I don't think I as a European should feel any kind of guilt about this. I really dispise people feeding on this guilt trip, and taking advantage of it. It's not right. Come on! We are one human race, one mankind... Let's play! :) |

I used this mole removal creme for this mole on my stomach. Now I have a large red spot that looks like a third nipple. Thanks mole removal cream. It doesn't matter since no girls will see me naked anyway. |

i like the new coldplay album. fuck it i like some popular music, luckily for me I dont need to buy street/net cred by avoiding things I enjoy |

i like some coldplay tracks namely a message, clocks, etc.. pretty enjoyable melodies i say.. i think they have some good tracks under their belt so not fair to just call them garbage outright.. |
||||||||

|

yea I don't generally judge music by whether or not its on the radio, doesn't really make sense. coldplay isn't bad. i never bought their records, but if a song comes on the radio i enjoy it more than most other modern rock that would come on. most modern radio rock mid 90s and after is really, really annoying. any of the post grunge alterna 3 doors down boring rock is ... well boring. |
