22-10-2011 7:02pm#1Kinda new to the forum, and I am sure I will be blasted with pi$$ (After Hours Style) for starting a topic on Coldplay, but their new album is out on Monday and I have been listening to a couple of tracks from it on YouTube.
This one is not on the album, but it really ought to be in my opinion
Something about the songs begin to grow on me the more I listen to them; very upbeat which to many, is a new for Coldplay. Anyway, anyone else picking up the album or what are your thoughts so far?

this just shows how much coldplay crave the 'biggest band in the world' title. any band with any integrity would not duet with a manufactured, talent less, famous for her looks solely pop 'star' like rihanna. they're just desperate to stay at the top and sell as many records as possible with their safe music. it'll be justin beiber next0 -

On their previous album, Coldplay collaborated with Jay Z for a song, so this could mean a number of things. A desire to work with the best artists, especially those not germane to their own style of music, and attempt to engage with audiences who would listen to Jay Z/Rihanna and hopefully draw in new fans.
To be honest, I am not a fan of the song with Rihanna, but I can see that it may gain in popularity and feature a lot on the radio.
Certainly looking forward to picking up my copy of the album tomorrow! 0 -

I love this part from the review of it in todays Observer!
"wacky names and high concept can't seem to elevate their music from the sonic equivalent of a cup of tea made with a used bag: it's a bit uplifting, but ultimately insipid."

Cool story Bro!0 -
I found Viva la Vida to be quite dull and Mylo Xyloto is pretty much the same. Nothing really interesting on the album at all and nothing's really growing on me, so I'm not a big fan of it. I blame Brian Eno.
I winced when I heard Rihanna on Princess of China. It was only a little better than having Jay-Z in Lost+ on Prospekt's March.
I think that if you enjoyed Viva la Vida then you'll enjoy Mylo Xyloto. If you didn't then move along, nothing to see here...0 -

are you serious???? its well known rihanna is completely auto-tuned, just listen to her records. i've watched her live many times and never once seen her sing live. and are you seriously telling me you think jay-z and rihanna are two of the best artists out there??? there are way better rappers and singers out there. all jay-z rappes about is money. both jay-z and rihanna are businesses, marketed to sell as many records and clothes as possible. coldplay are lining themselves up with these 'artists' to tap into there market and sell more records. its a business strategy, making great music is not important to them, its completely watered down to appeal to as many people as possible. their songs say nothing.On their previous album, Coldplay collaborated with Jay Z for a song, so this could mean a number of things.

I don't care very much for Rihanna or Jay Z (although I like his collaborative work with Linkin Park). I am just saying that it makes sense (and business sense) to engage with artists believed to be the best or considered one of the best in their respective field of music. I am not arguing both Rihanna or Jay Z are the very best, but there would be appear to be a lot of people out there who think they are - hence album sales, awards, etc. Whether or not these people's opinions are considered 'valid' (which by my estimation, you don't) is not up for debate here as all music is a form of art, and art is entirely subjective. No offence, and perhaps body language is lost in translation from spoken word to typed sentences, but you come across as quite arrogant. Clearly stating Coldplay's music is shallow doesn't mean you are right, that is just an opinion, and it certainly appears that a lot of people don't agree with you - hence why Coldplay are still going.
Coldplay were supposed to collaborate with Johnny Cash, but he died before he could record his part of the song.
A lot of the time collaborations are about money, but sometimes they are not...0 -

I agree with what you said about Viva la Vida, I found it a bit dull too, just couldn't get into it. I have to say I do like some of the songs on this album though, although I need to have a few more listens to see if I really like it.
I'm into the pop vibe of it though, which is something I never thought I'd say :eek:0 -
