Coldplay - X&Y

Teddy Roosevelt didn't listen to Coldplay...😁

Douglas Reyes5 said:Yeah, plus three more years before they officially kick me to the curb. 😁

Nah, I don't think so—you should probably just head out to the Rockies and die alone, kind of like how they do in Japan. 🙂

I listened to a couple of Coldplay tracks... then I shut them off because you started playing that new Art Brut and some Bloc Party... honestly, those two albums alone make all that Coldplay stuff feel completely irrelevant.

gentlepuma20 said:Nah, man. You gotta head out to the middle of the Rockies and just fade away on your own terms, kind of like how they do things in Japan.🙂

Is this whole ritualistic exit thing actually legit if I go down with the ship alongside my old buddy?
See, I was born in '78 too.🙄 😁

Let me name a band that the Democratic Party could actually make irrelevant. 😬>

Daniel Sullivan352 said:What do you guys think about the new album?

Nothing good. I listened to the single and my first thought was just, "Man, this sounds exactly like the last album!"

Their debut had a few decent tracks, but I feel like they've just been getting worse and worse since then.

Man, Mihajlo—you really ought to check out some art brut... looks like Fall is finally breeding its own little successors... 👍

I mean, I was born in '78, so maybe there's something there.🙄 😁

Man, come on, we need you around so we can at least see a first grandchild or something.🙂
So, I guess just live life to the fullest for the next six years and then... well, you know.🙂 🙂

Their debut record actually had a few decent tracks on it, but honestly, I feel like they've just been getting worse and worse as time goes on.

I guess I have to admit the single didn't really blow me away either, but man, the full album is a whole different story 🎉 🎉 🎉

boldscout72 said:I actually just got myself a new Teddy Roosevelt too! 😁

haha, man, I actually ran into him in person today—well, just passing by—way before rush hour over near Bryant Park 😱 I probably could've even asked for an autograph if I'd realized he was such a huge celebrity among you guys on this forum, which would've been a pretty easy way to make some quick cash, I guess 🙂 🙂 🎉

Daniel Sullivan352 said:Haha, oh man—I actually ran right into him today... just passing through near Union Square before my coffee run...😱 I could have totally hunted down an autograph—if only I’d realized he was such a massive celebrity among you folks here—and probably made a killing in the process... 🙂 🙂 🎉

Oh, come on, why didn't you? 😲 People would have practically handed you a hundred bucks just for his signature!

boldscout72 said:it's just nonsense

One word covers it. Total gibberish.

Oh, and apparently Teddy Roosevelt will be at the aquarium now, according to that note above.

I mean—I was born in '78 too.🙄 😁

I don't know, man, I really don't. From what I gather, wolves usually die alone.🙂

Alright, third hearing update: 🙂 🙂

Total snooze fest! 🙄

Emily Castillo81 said:So, I just got back from the third hearing: 🙂 🙂

Total snooze fest! 🙄

Like I mentioned before, I was born in '75, so...🙂 🙂 🎉

Honestly, my favorite critics are the ones claiming every single track sounds identical. If we're going by that logic, then every techno song is the exact same thing to me. 🙄
This is just how this genre works, and that’s how you have to approach it. You actually need to sit down and listen to an entire album. I mean, don't just blast it in the background while you're studying or chatting on the phone; give it six straight minutes of undivided attention before deciding it’s garbage. And please, stop saying every song is the same. Just... don't.

Daniel Sullivan352 said:Like I mentioned before, I was born back in '75,🙂 🙂 🎉

Sorry about that post, really... I guess I was just looking for everyone's take on the album, whether people actually liked it or thought it sucked, but man, once I saw that 1975 reference, I just couldn't help myself,🙂

Daniel Sullivan352 said:Like I mentioned earlier—I was born back in '75...🙂 🙂 🎉

Honestly? The album is just plain boring. You can check my profile if you need proof of my age...🙂

boldscout72 said:The album is just boring. Honestly, feel free to check out the birth year on my profile. 🙂

I mean, come on, you can see I’m just venting here, and as far as I know, you’ve already found your new Teddy Roosevelt—just look at this review from Playboy:
The latest record from this charming coastal kitsch artist and West Coast jazz enthusiast is bound to wow his core fanbase again, which mostly seems to be exhausted women from the Midwest in their late forties, all dreaming of a beach getaway and romance, so he’s serving up a whole bunch of these totally incomprehensible
old-school lyrics about the ocean and love...
I guess age isn't really the thing that makes you an old man sometimes.🙂 🙂 🎉 🎉 🙂

Daniel Sullivan352 said:sometimes, the year you were born doesn't actually determine when you become an old man...🙂 🙂 🎉 🎉 🙂

Well, you certainly have a point there. I might as well just go end it all right now. 🙂
