I am listening to their song "Amsterdam" right now and crying. Their music is so beautiful and emotional. :'(

I cant wait to see how different their CD is this fall. X&Y did not sell as much as their past two cd's so they brought in the legendary producer Brian Eno to shake everything up and get them "back on track". Curious what kind of changes have been made.

That is part of the reason Brian Eno has been brought in. X&Y was seen as too much of the same.

Solo · « **Reply #14 on:** March 08, 2007, 08:43:09 AM »

They basically changed the lyrics and arrangements to existing songs, so yeah, Id say thats a bit too "samey".

I am not talking quality but they were no longer the "same" band and vastly different for the most part in the type of music they had as hits, I am saying why won't this be done to Coldplay as well?

The guy is hired with the sole expectation of changing Coldplay.

I dont know how much you can change Coldplay. I mean, they pretty much are what they are.

I can't tell if this is a joke post or not. Power and Coldplay have about as much reason to be in the same sentence as Uwe Boll and De Sica.

I doubt you've ever seen an Uwe Boll film. Probably comes up too low on Rotten Tomatoes for you to bother.

So basically, I'm right? Thought so. Also, I could just as easily say the same shit about you and Criterion (relying on them to "tell you" what great films are). But I won't. Why? I don't care. Can we drop this, or must we continue ad nauseum?

Except I don't mindlessly rely on Criterion, I even got into an argument against some dumbass on GAF who insisted on buying every single Criterion Collection release, even if the movies were available in non-Criterion versions.

when there is a verison that is a non-criterion of a criterion its rather stupid to go with the non-criterion. The criterion one normally has MUCH better extras, a longer cut many times, better picture quality..etc

My point is this guy wanted the crappy Criterion versions of stuffs like Time Bandits instead of the superior non-Criterion versions. That's pathetic.

Time Bandits 2-Disk SE is better than the criterion in all ways but one. No commentary with Gilliam and Michael Palin(also of Monty Python). I went with the non-Criterion obviously but I would like to hear that commentary sometime.

Another title will be added to the non-criterion superior edition. Miramax is doing a two disk SE of Chasing Amy with all the goodies of a modern day Kevin Smith DVD for the 10th anniversary this fall and it wont be criterion.

The Criterion Chasing Amy isn't in its proper aspect ratio, anyway. Criterion got the wrong elements from Miramax or something, I remember reading.

I honestly can't knock this post. Coldplay suffers from the same problem artists like Kid Rock and Staind do - they constantly release singles that sound like their previous huge hits, but worse. Speed of Sound is soo much like the stuff on AROCBTTH that it's not funny. As Solo said, it's like releasing the same song twice. Clocks is a fucking amazing song that will probably be remembered a decade from now. Speed of Sound is a cheap sounding cash in.

They have some good songs, but everything I heard from their latest album sucked
