Yeah I agree with most of that stuff too, the only problem is you didn't address everythign correctly. No one said COldplay makes music like Wolf Eyes does (unlistenable), we just said they arne't as good as their made out to be. And Im siding with Hatemonger because alot of there stuff bores the crap out of me.

They are given a melody and some Thom Yorke flavorings, and then every coldplay song is shipped out to the masses. Its somehting they can all swallow. They are not as good as the press says they are, they are a really good bar band who gets multimedia backing.

I used to be able to tollerate Coldplay but now they are everywhere and I have heard their new song a million times which leads me to my new opinion on Coldplay, I hate them with a passion.

the best way to judge a band is through album sales. and if we're going to measure how good coldplay are by sales then they are a very good band. of course the media hype them up- they do it to any socio-freindly band with a guitar and drums. but the fact is your saying their not as good as their made out to be- thats a subjective statement. i happen to like coldplay ,i dont love them but i do buy the albums.

Are you serious?

**** missed a word. the best way to judge a bands SUCCESS is through album sales.

Successful or not you can`t stop me laughing at his perm

HAHA

nobody sells over ten million albums just on the basis of media hype...the media hyped franz, bloc party, the killers and the bravery and the arcade fire....non of them sold that many albums...coldplay does produces music that agrees with a wider range of people but it's undisputed that it's excellent music...people won't just buy an album because the papers told them to do so...like i said before if an album sucks or is so-so, people catch up on it very fast...to use an analogy with movies..all the media coverage in this world didn't help Alexader the great by oliver stone to become a succes...

thank you. although it does seem like it but unless you're a really sad and loney teenager trying to get accepted or something similar you can tell what you do and do not like. coldplay is not the only band that's been over-played.just because a band is over-played doesn't make them bad all of a sudden.i hope you won't give up on coldplay based solely on that, aprilmay(unless you didn't like them before, then i doubt i can turn you).
