You know you have arrived when....

[amcoppin]

You know you have arrived when the critics are everywhere--slamming you, complaining about this and that, trying to knock you off of a pedastal. Too bad dudes, Coldplay does not sit on pedastals. Tearing apart a band that people genuinely like is similar to the don't hate me because i'm beautiful adage. The playerhaters are out in massive numbers because simply put-- Coldplay has arrived AGAIN. So just sit back and enjoy the music and be greatful it isn't another bubble gum rap artist or a pop princess. It is music, real music. Let the record sales tell the story!

Very well said. Bravo :lol: !

[cold_kitty]

if there was ever a band who couldn't take bad criticism it's got to be coldplay, or at least it's got to be its frontman. chris martin probably won't take any of the negative press over the album well. he's far too nice and far too anxious about what everyone thinks.

but who cares. it's not our job to cushion the blow. you can't expect to make a masterpiece every time you drop a record. they made an album that THEY are happy with and are proud of, that's all that matters.

[IndecisiveSoul]

yesshhh! exactly tats true u guys! i heard it. ;)

chris has every reasonable answers to every criticisms imposed on them. well done dude! :)

[badlydrawngirl]

yeah it's become cool to knock them AGAIN.
anyone remember the alan mcgee backlash? but they're great and i dont give a toss :)

[colduser]

At first, the negative reviews were really bumming me out but now I see at is as a good thing as it will most likely inspire the band to make a fourth mind-blowing creation. There will be another album :)

[Jan]

I don't even read the negative reviews :P

[colduser]

I don't even read the negative reviews :P

I can't help it. Still boggles my mind that people hate coldplay.

[Jan]

I don't understand those people... :disappointed:

[colduser]

Yet another classic emoticon Jan. You crack me up :lol:

[Jan]

:lol: It's always good to hear that :laugh2:

The critics are out, but the album sells 464,471 in the first week....

Hmmmmmm.... ;)
