Coldplay Band • Page 2

I just have to say that I'm not terribly familiar with their catalogue, but their Live 2012 album from Paris expelled any hate I had for the band. These dudes are damn talented, and seem to put on a really incredible live show. Old and new songs make the transition live extremely well, and are almost uniformly better than their studio versions. (something that is a major tell as to whether a band is legit or not... and it's why I love U2 so much)

The album they put out last year was quite bad, but I'll always check out whatever they are doing after hearing that live album.

Oh, and I love Johnny Buckland's Edge-inspired guitar sound... simple but pure and with huge impact... as all guitar playing should be IMO.

 

Coldplay Announce Kaleidoscope EP, Share New Song “Hypnotised”: Listen | Pitchfork

 

New song is very chill.

 

Hypnotised sounds like a Mylo b-side. I like it

 

I think it is! That xylophone bit comes from this video from 2010 during the recording of MX.

 

Haven't really heard Chris do vocals like this since X&Y I love it

 

Finally getting a chance to listen to "Hypnotised" and I think it's great. My kind of Coldplay.

 

Currently ruling One Love Manchester (save for Something Just Like This)

 

Looking forward to the EP being released at the end of the month.

 

Parachutes vibe! I'm loving it

 

Loving the Parachutes vibe on that; completely opposite vibe from that trash Chainsmokers collab

 

I just now noticed that Big Sean is featured on one of the upcoming EP tracks.

 

Fml

 

Well hey, it won't be even a fraction as bad as Something Just Like This which is also on the EP

And Big Sean is mostly good, if you can forget about his latest lackluster album

 

it can work

 

The two tracks released off the new EP have made me go back and revisit Parachutes and A Rush of Blood. Also so cool that their singles have some many bsides with them. Been really fun to listen to those other songs released in that era as well.

 

Yeah, this was such a great track.

 

Probably a very unpopular opinion, but Viva La Vida is far and away my favorite record of theirs

 

Not unpopular at all. Viva La Vida is the album where they went from mopey British piano band (as good as Parachutes is) to, holy shit these guys can write a quality radio single and an album full of depth. Why they dove off the mainstream pop cliff after Viva La Vida will always puzzle me.

 

Because Viva La Vida (single) went to number 1 in the U.K. Bet that changed the trajectory of the band a fair bit.

 

The new song gives me heavy Parachutes vibes. Might be my favorite Coldplay song in a very long time.

 

Yep

 

Man, I am REALLY liking this new song. More of this, please.
