I don't understand this portion - are you saying music reviews should not be opinionated? Aren't music reviews just the critics giving their own take/opinion on the album?

Oh God bad jokes.....

But I must say I do agree with NME this time...

PoC got an 8/10 and the whole album got a 5/10 I don't get how this makes sense... If they liked the first 4 albums... and there are at least 6-7 songs that are more Coldplayish than PoC... I just... does not compute... DERP

Stop reading reviews! Music is subjective. If you like it then great. If you don't then that's great too. I want to read about the style not what somebody's opinion is on it. Couldn't care two monkeys! Q tends to be one if the best as they tend to stick to describing the actual music on an album rather than inches and inches of mindless drivel....it's called pretentiousness!

It makes perfect sense - they didn't like the other songs

Yup. In the end, all that matters is how you feel about it.

X&Y didn't fail though. It sold a shitload of copies.

NME is a shit newspaper.

They just love to hate on British bands that aren't britpop, such as Radiohead and Coldplay, who they have been flaming for the whole year.

I think the joke is that they rated X&Y so highly and this one so low.

Everyone piled tons of love on X&Y. And I don't understand why. It's so boring. Whiny, flat, just bad.

Don't read critic, be a critic yourself that's a thing i learn year's ago when i realize that many times critics are like anyone else, they vulnerable to their feelings, and their feelings make then biases. Critiquing a piece of art is not exact science...

Mark · 20-10-2011, 12:19 AM

Has anyone noticed the NME headlines about Coldplay recently?

Kanye West "changed the way Coldplay listened to music"
Charlie Brown was written in a kids' dolls house
Chris Martin's family don't listen to Coldplay
Rihanna turned Chris into a "Hugh Grant-like mess"
Paradise divides NME users (one compares it to Cliff Richard)

It just seems that they listen to an interview and conjure a piece to rile indie fans.

Doesn't matter that Kanye is a visionary, Coldplay are open-minded people and that Chris Martin is actually, a rather nice bloke. Oh no. They don't use distortion pedals. They don't ape Stone Roses. They want to play big crowds. How dare they aspire.

Completely agree with you on the first point - I've said number of times that I don't think NME is a very good magazine.

That being said, how can you say they hate on Coldplay given their past reviews (which includes an 8/10 for Princess of China)?

At this point, I would like to quote Robbie Williams.

Journalist from NME: Can I get a quote?
Robbie: Yes. Fuck off.

Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :/
