Did they do it because they truly believe they are the biggest band in the world and people will buy their music anyway? They should experiment on their own time but continue to reward their true fans with Coldplay music. I was so looking foward to their new album but with the name of the album being idiotic to the new music, I am looking foward to nothing.

As the great Jah Wobble would say ... "No Change is Sexy" </sarcasm>

Lowly...I could write an essay on how you contradict yourself, and how very wrong you are. But I would never do that, because you're a waste. Of time. Of space.

In fact, this thread should be closed. The atmosphere here is too negative and too daunting for my taste.

EDITED for crimes against compassion - I aplogise.

They used synth sounds to get as far away from Joshua Tree as possible. Now they have gone back to those days. Why couldn't Coldplay learn from U2's mistakes?!?

Are you kidding me!!! Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree are in my opinion U2's best 2 albums and being a U2 groupie myself I know that most U2 fans rate Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby in their top two.

Couldn't agree more!! I'd also include Pop and Zooropa in that list. Everyone is entitled to their own taste and opinion I agree and if you only like a certain style from a band that has a diverse catalogue then that's fine by me - although I feel sorry for those that can't appreciate the diversity, you really are missing out. Imho, diversity is what differentiates a good band from a legendary band.

I, for one, am absolutely delighted Coldplay have decided to stretch their wings.

ooohkay. I think everyone needs to calm down a bit, and maybe reserve opinions about the whole album until we've all heard THE WHOLE ALBUM. I'm not so crazy about A Spell A Rebel Yell or Viva La Vida(song), but I looove Violet Hill. But I'm not ready to quit my Coldplay fandom based on 2 songs I'm not over the moon about.

And I'm also a little nervous about what the rest of the album is going to sound like...change for the sake of change isn't always good. But good things can come out of it...and until we've heard the whole album, we can't judge it appropriately. imo :-)

edit: Joshua Tree is my fave U2 album, I think, and I'm actually not so crazy about their first few albums. Individual songs from those albums, most definitely. But as single entities, Boy/October/War aren't on the top for me.
