People disagree with you but I know I in particular should have been nicer and more respectful. So I'm sorry.

oh, haha...I didn't really mind, and you weren't really being "an ass"

thanks though

Actually, rather than being an ass (which I always feel I end up being in these tension-filled threads), I’ll just say that I hope one version is in the past, and the other will show up in the future…or even in the present.

Be good to your “friends.”

I sort of thought so as well, but you just gave it more life by telling us all that.

LemonMelon · 07-03-2008, 08:47 PM

Yeah, this thread is slowing down. Guess we ran out of U2 melodies to accuse Coldplay of copping.

I'll revive it.

Updates on the Coldplay cartoon:

The script is finished.
Animating process starts tonight.
It will be hosted on youtube.
It will be very lengthy, anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, or maybe more.
It will feature music. Yellow and Life In Technicolor will make appearances.
I will be asking the mods to sticky the thread. If they for some reason ask your opinion of this, tell them that you think it's the greatest idea you've ever heard.

That is all.

Apparently Viva La Vida is already the best selling album of the year, after only 3 weeks, pretty impressive

Zootlesque · 07-05-2008, 11:10 AM

I'm still not tired of this album! Surely their most interesting one ever and it gives Rush of Blood a great run for it's money! I've rated 7 tracks out of 10 as 5 star ones in my itunes. I don't know, this might even beat Rush to the top spot for me.

Ditto! I keep imagining how good these will sound live. Anyone know of a Coldplay ticket buy/sell site other than ebay? I'd like to get closer this time around. Since I was back on the lawn for the last tour.

I've listened to the album a few more times and unfortunately it went downhill from my first mixed reaction, rather than being a grower that I hoped for. I love Cemeteries of London and Viva la Vida, Life in Technicolour is a decent opener and I like Violet Hill and Strawberry Swing. The rest is not bad exactly, just pretty damn unremarkable and those two-songs-in-one tempo changes feel increasingly gimmicky and irritating. I just don't think their talent matches their ambitions; Parachutes is IMO still their best album precisely because it's lowkey and unassuming and keeps things simple.

intedomine · 07-10-2008, 08:04 AM

Lost! is ridiculously brilliant, a perfect song. Probably my favourite off VLVODAAHF, potentially my favourite Coldplay tune.

Agreed with everything you've said here! Cracking song indeed!
