Is Coldplay a good band?
Yes.t.unc
within reason. also he's pointing at us
>>130513521
>>130513233Checked and if they were bad, would they sound any different?
>>130513233their first 4 albums are great for the style of music
>>130513233I have no idea why they're hated so muchKinda like Nickelback
>>130513233they're a good band but not a cool bandI find it really cool that they all share the songwriting credits thoughchris martin is a charisma void but seems to be a decent manmusic for women mostly
>>130514098The hate is nowhere near on the same level.The nearest equivalent to Nickelback's hate is MC Hammer at his peak
>>130513233the only song I liked by them was "talk" but then I realized later it's because it's mostly a kraftwerk song.Brits love them tho idk why
>>130513233Not good, not bad either. Just eh and culturally in a very uninteresting place.
>>130513233first record is their bestthen they wrote some good songs afterviva la vida sucks and everything has gotten worse after that
>>130513233Chris Martin's voice is peak. Sparks is a legitimately great album. They make a whole lot of slop tho.>>130515224Bieber probably beats both for most overall hate, probably ever. Maybe Kanye or Miley but that's not related to their music.
>>130513233Coldplay COULD be good if they wanted, but they can’t be fucked. Parachutes is a fantastic album. Even their live setlists are phoned in now.Chris Martin is one of the greatest songwrtiters in pop music (ie popular rock), but he chases money instead. It’s incredibly disappointing, given how great they started out
>>130515335>Brits love them tho idk whyThey were basically our Nickelback in the 2000s, very popular but also cool to hate.
>>130516029Actually he may have genuinely lost his songwriting ability. Aging and mega celeb status tend to do that
For me is X&Y, it's their best album no doubt.And apparently they hate it so much and it caused some internal conflict within the band
>>130516134that makes sense, tbf though they are way better than Nickelback. Their first hit was Yellow right? That's a totally decent pop tune, Nickelback hasn't made anything close to that lmao
>>130513521>>130513714damn...
>>130516484Yeah I think so. They totally fit in with the kind of safe, bland Post Britpop that was popular at the time, think Travis, Snow Patrol, Starsailor etc. Middle class chilled out barbecue music.
