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!!!!!

Haha oh dear, is it really that awful? I want to hear it before I form an opinion but I've a feeling it's going to be a little negatory. Hook a girl up if you have the ways and means, you know my email. It makes me all nostalgic for how !!!!! we were about AROBTTH. See, then I was willing to travel to go to their little club shows, now I'm like eh, playing another stadium, well I don't think I can stomach seeing you with 50,000 other people. Fuck you X, and your little Guye too!

You know if I had a hard copy, 3B would be the first to benefit from it, and I totally feel you on the stadium thing. So not a stadium band. U2 is anthemic ampitheatres, Coldplay is the Fillmore. The sound just doesn't translate at all.
