I have to say im not that surprised "The Scientist" didnt go further either, cause its true popsters unfortunately rule the charts....and also...please everyone out there dont kill me for saying this but....i think that coldplay actually released the two "bad" songs on the album.....WAIT WAIT HEAR ME OUT....Its that i think there are better songs on the album. For instance, i love Amsterdam, Rush Of Blood, Clocks and God Put A Smile On My Face. They are easily the best on the album, and therefore I thought they should have been released first....Scientist and In My Place just dont do it for me. But i'm sure Coldplay know what they're doing.

No, it's good you're honest! Everybody should have his own opinion. I love "In My Place" and I think it was a well-chosen first single cause the song is pretty catchy! As for "The Scientist" - it's a beautiful song but maybe too mellow. My favorite still is "A Rush Of Blood..." and "Politik" rocks, too!! :D

30-11-2002, 09:31 AM
yeah i dont what it is. In My Place is a bit, i dont know, too repetative and i dont like the way he sings it. its twangy. i think i just have issues with it. Your right its a perfectly good song, im just a bit funny. :)

I listened to In My Place two days running when they promo'd it on Radio One but now I think it's the weakest song on the new album, but still a good tune though :)

Katharina
30-11-2002, 09:55 AM
It's the catchiest but not the most brilliant one - I agree! 8)

i remember hearing it just before i left the house to go to the lpool gig and thinking "this is brilliant". and then i heard the other stuff that night and i was :shock: 8)

Your facial expression was exactly the same as Mr Dickinson in your avatar when all the new songs were played I bet ;)

dave's girl
30-11-2002, 04:52 PM
hahaha, probably. and it stayed like that for a few days as well - it took me about a week to recover from the excitement of that gig :roll:

I remember singing along to In My Place at Liverpool and I was looking round and no-one else knew the words :lol:

dave's girl
30-11-2002, 05:00 PM
i was probably merrily singing along with my own little version of the words, as i usually do. :oops: although the lyrics aren't exactly complicated, so i probably stood more of a chance with that one :roll:

Actually I don't know who it is but I bet it's something horrible (since the charts usually contain mostly horrible stuff... :? )!!

OK guys,
just wanted to say I registered just to comment on this, cos I was hoping this was gonna come to light. Personally, I think coldplay are and always will be the best band in the world, and they shud continue to set the standard for bands everywhere.

However, I was actually quite pleased when the scientist *shudder* dropped from 10- 25. The scientist is the worst track coldplay have ever made, ever in their entire history, and Ive heard the Safety EP.

I mean no disrespect to coldplay at all, they're a fantastic band, but the scientist sounds like Lift Music, with lyrics. Quite frankly, I think its boring, there's on point to it. Chris's voice never rises above a monotonous drone. Johnny's guitaring stays in a very repetetive style.

Will's drumming sounds like he just started drumming, and I can't hear Guy, so I won't start on him, bless his soul.

I hope you guys take this into consideration. Cos without the scientist, ROBTTH would be pretty much perfect. The scientist is the worst, I still wonder what Chris saw in it. Ah well.

Night all

P.S. Yeh Christina's crap, but in my opinion, Dirrty's better than The Scientist

Katharina
04-12-2002, 10:26 PM
Hey, that was quite a harsh monologue. And the only thing I am gonna say is: Everybody has his own taste in music. I LOVE "The Scientist"!!! Yes, I do. So if that's your opinion, OK, but I don't share it...

Hicksy
04-12-2002, 11:08 PM
Harsh? I hate to disagree with a fellow coldplayer but that rant was complete bollox!!!! :evil:

The Scientist is a magnificent song - one of the best of the album!

if it makes you shudder then why bother posting this "info" of yours...

and I can't hear Guy, so I won't start on him, bless his soul.
and i'm glad you kept that to yourself because i wouldnt really want to hear it.

P.S. Yeh Christina's crap, but in my opinion, Dirrty's better than The Scientisthow could you say that....didnt you just say you they are the best band in the world....thats just putting them down by saying that about them.

you suck :evil:

Katharina
04-12-2002, 11:35 PM
you suck :evil:

You all spoke out what I thought. I guess I was just too diplomatic! That was a big load of crap. So we don't disagree, Si! :wink:

yeah when i get pissed i pretty much let everything out....haha i guess thats the only way for ppl to see how i really feel :lol:

ok at the risk of being outted by the coldplaying crowd....im going to have to agree with that chris_martin poster pat did you say? the comment wasnt bollox, the song is bollox. i think the description "lift music with lyrics" was perfect. it truely is a boring song. and i cant believe songs like one i love and i bloom blaum became b-sides...i just dont get it..

20-12-2002, 08:52 AM
lol I guess its just one of those songs that you either love or you hate... I personally think its a brilliant simple song, but other people have said its too slow or whatever. All I can say to the people who do like it is at least it made a top 10 hit... just :D
