I'm not a huge fan but they make some good music. I really liked their debut album but completely fell off by the time they released that Daft Punk ripoff
Side note about that track: You don't even have to change the bpm or key. Just put the tracks on top of each other and line it up. It's nearly the same song with different vocals
Maybe I should listen to a whole album before making a final decision, but every time I hear a Coldplay song it's always just seemed terribly boring. Like someone doing a bad cover of a song I already didn't like that much in the first place lol
Well, there's pretty much no artist that appeals to everyone so it's not surprising to hear. There's a lot of popular artists I just can't get into, too!
I don't listen to Coldplay when I want to listen to something I want to jam to.
I play it on the way home so I have something other than the constant drone of tires on a highway and passing vehicles to listen to. It doesn't have to be groundbreaking, I don't want something that will truly distract my driving.
That said, I only have like three songs i don't just immediately skip.
I think better than listening to traffic is their slogan.
(I have no actual opinion on Coldplay. I don't know why I'm joining in on the bashing...)
Which tracks?
Get Lucky and...I think the Coldplay song is called Adventure of a Lifetime
[Edit] I forgot how bad the music video was
That was very unpleasant to watch. I had to stop a few minutes in. Oof.
The animation reminds me of early Cool 3d World animations and not in a good way.
Yeah I have no idea what they were thinking, it looks so cheap. Either fully commit to the bit of janky graphics or don't use them at all.
Not an avid listener, but The Scientist (2002, so... old) really sunk in for me when I heard it. His voice gets criticized but I think it fits in perfectly with that song's subject matter as an exploration of grief and unsuccessfully trying to confront trauma with reason and logic.
Haven't listened to anything newer that that, so ignorance is bliss over here!
If you've never seen the video, this is a rare example where it adds really valuable context to the song itself.
