fuck this "started by" shit

I might listen to it if Chris Martin promises to commit suicide immediately afterwards

― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

if that song is 15 minutes long and contains 8 distinct sections, an industrial breakdown, three feedbacking guitars, and an atonal counter-melody played on fuzzboxed electric piano, i may forgive coldplay a little.

This is old. He's talking about "Fix You".

I did double check to make sure Sick was joking.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:05 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry dudes. I meant "Clocks".

― Scik Mouthy, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:06 (eighteen years ago)

clocks is a good song.

Mouthy, I checked the date, too. Now stop trying to confuse me.

I'm delighted they're going to "try new things". I just hope "new things" is something more imaginative than sampling a classic Kraftwerk song.

I just hope "new things" is something more imaginative than sampling a classic Kraftwerk song and bathing entire albums in OOOOOAAAAA keyboard-preset faux-ambient choirs.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:24 (eighteen years ago)

They didn't sample it, did they? They played it outright. Which is far less interesting.

Eno's producing the new record. OH JOY.

Basing your criticism on a lack of work ethic kind of fails for me, hoosteen.

Necessarily?

― Tim Ellison, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:32 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, but like... needing to hear it before you die? No. I don't need to hear ANY song before I die. And yes I know it's just "big rock band still important please" rhetoric, I just think, y'know, it's 2007, we're not stupid, Martin's had a good education, please think not in cliches, thank you.

With Coldplay, aye, because they can't really play that well.

― Scik Mouthy, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

Chris Martin have written a lot of great songs, so his best song - if it is his best - will be a classic.

― Geir Hongro, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

Does anyone know a radio station where I will be able to hear this great song???

― Curt1s Stephens, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:35 (eighteen years ago)

he has written, i will concede, roughly 3 good songs and 0 great ones.

― unfished business, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

curtis, HEART 106.2 "More music variety!!!!"

I'm not suggesting they were 'lazy' by using the sound, I'm just saying I didn't like the particular sound and that the first association it had for me was the "choir" preset on the keyboard I had as a kid.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:36 (eighteen years ago)

But what if people hear Coldplay AFTER they die? What then? I don't understand the importance of this action taking place before the band dies. Don't they want to leave a legacy? Be remembered by future generations?

― Bimble, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:59 (eighteen years ago)

Chris Martin have written a lot of great songs, so his best song - if it is his best - will be a classic.

Is this some central Geir thesis? That great music rises to popularity?

Coldplay aren't about production or sound, they are about melodies.

Eno will probably help improve them production-wise, though, so if the songwriting is still as great as on their first three albums, it may well be their best.

― Geir Hongro, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:15 (eighteen years ago)

But Geir, all the melodies were lost for me behind the big synth washes.

Doesn't Eno drink his own piss?

― Drooone, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 00:50 (eighteen years ago)

"I can't tell you about it, but it's basically genius," he joked.
