Coldplay aren't even entered in any competition. They shouldn't be anyway. I hate how everyone at my school is all "Have you heard Coldplay's new album?" or "Have you heard Viva La Vida?".

Okay, maybe not everyone at my school, a majority of the population there wouldn't even know who Led Zeppelin or the Beatles are. But all I'm saying is, Coldplay are just one of those new bands that DON'T sound like every other band these days, which I give them credit for, thats good. But that doesn't mean they're a great band. They're just different, and they're stuff is repetitive and Chris Martin is just annoying with that Falsetto of his. Who does he think he is? Timerlake? (just kidding)

If U2 comes out with their new album this year, it will blow every other album that's come out among the popular music scene out of the water. No band or artist that teens like now days (Coldplay is one of them) can compete with any band that was out before like 1995. Most people suck now days. There are some exceptions, but still. Nothing will ever come close to classic bands. Thats why I don't listen to the Top 40 or watch Much Music or MTV or anything like that.

I disagree with some of your post there. Yes, Coldplay are different, but in the good way. Sure, chris loves u2, and I would guarentee if he knew about this site he would join.

You have I-hate-coldplay-bc-they-copy-u2itis.

First, everybody wants u2's career. 22 Grammys speaks for itself. Being the richest band in the world looks good.
Second, Coldplay started in the late 1990s. Their job is create enjoyable music, to theory. U2 have a huge influence in it, which seems awesome to think someone out there in the mainstream loves u2 as much as we do.
Third, coldplay have never plagarized u2. They plagarized radiohead.
Forth, as a singer, having a falsetto is a gift. As a guy, having a falsetto is a gift. I wish mine would come back (damn post nasal drip...)
Fifth, viva is a great album. Already one of my favs, and I'm very picky about what albums make my top 20.
Sixth, Death and All His Friends is the best song off that album. 3rd best epic song IMO behind WGFA and ATTTID. U2 songs are epic, but everyone has their own tastes here. Kite is 4th btw...
Seventh, they are great live. I saw them august 4th at the garden, really good show they put on. Don't let the studio stuff fool you. Have a listen to Brixton and lose yourself

I feel like I'm on the outside of someone's inside joke.

Oh well.

I agree with you, but I like Coldplay in a certain way. Doesn't stop me from listening non-stop to U2 though.

There are releases from Pussycat Dolls, Snow Patrol, Keane, Kaiser Chiefs, Metallica and Oasis before Christmas. I'm not sure if U2 album sales wouldn't suffer from that...
I'm convinced that this is not the reason for the 'delay', though.

it sound legitimate to me what Bono said about not stopping...doesn't sound to me like they are tinkering too much....I would hope that they've got the songs done that have been done and are working on other songs...that's how it came across to me
