Ah, well, saw that one coming.

For those of you who have been around a while, you know that when the last Coldplay LP dropped (August '02), I was championing it before it even hit shelves. Like the ODB once said '[we] go back like babies and pacifiers' -- and so it was with a lot of excitement that I looked forward to hearing X & Y....

And then I heard it.

And I'm saying it now, publicly, I think it's shit.

The five stars that Blender gave it and the brown-nosing that EW did? Bullshit. I'm talking about arse to the wall, and stains everywhere like Miguel Alvarez in Oz shit. Some albums are fifty-fifty, you love and you hate, some you love most and hate some -- this is just crap.

I feel like I should be disappointed, but I'm not surprised.



In better news: OMG I SO LESS THAN THREE HURLEY!!!!!

Which is kind of amusing, since last night I read something about how the lead singer of Coldplay thought they were literally the best band in the world and would be suprassing even people like Mozart in time.

O.O

Ah yes, I did hear about that blurb. The thing about the lead singer is that he can be immensely charming when he chooses to be, and it's fabulous that he believes in his band so much, since it's the only way to make it in the industry. However -- he's also got a gob the size of the San Andreas Fault and there's this thing called 'tact' that he's not quite discovered yet.

incidentally, i read yesterday that thom yorke suffers panic attacks because of his fears about global warming. i need a thom icon.

He what? Okay, see, that's -- that's putting your money where your mouth is. Chris just yaps a lot, Thom, like suffers for his art. That's hot. In a twisted way.

That's hot? Dude, it's the most neurotic thing I've ever heard of.

Notice the twisted commentary. He could just have a drink -- but that might lead to alcoholism. Everybody deals with anxiety in different ways; perhaps its just transference.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, definitely twisted.*g*

And I mean, everyone's a little neurotic about something, but dude, that just sounds like a painful way to live. I mean, global warming is ALL AROUND you. I'd rather have panic attacks about, say, public speaking or something, I dunno.
