    For those of you who love Rush of Blood to the Head, check out Ghost Story (the song). It was a bonus song on the deluxe version of Ghost Stories and is simply incredible. Only song on the last several albums that even comes close to the greatness of the first two albums.

    Watching GCF I was relying my hopes on a new song, but unfortunately I found the one they played quite embarassing.
    The fact they had a duet with Ariana Grande says a lot about their new audience target.
    I truly miss old Coldplay too...

    I'll echo the words of almost everyone in this thread. Parachutes & ARoBttH are absolutely stellar. I even liked X & Y. It doesn't quite match the brilliance of the first two, but I still dug it. The last 3 albums though, ugh!!

    Me no likey :( Too poppy. I'll always have a soft spot for Chris Martin, his performance with Stipe during the MSG Sandy benefit concert is one of the most endearing things I've ever seen but ughhh!

    I'm digging the new song! I kept thinking 'this shouldn't work and be good, but it does and it is!' Definitely even better after a couple of listens, too.

    I kind of fell off after Viva La Vida, although I did see one of the select performances behind Ghost Stories when it was released, so I'm looking forward to catching up with Coldplay. Got into their show this Friday in LA with KROQ radio & TIDAL. Treating a friend I met through the boards here so I'm excited about that.

    I don't mind when my favorite bands evolve and create new style/sound over time...but, I can't get into where Coldplay is heading (wish i could!) I can play any of their first four albums, but lost interest with Ghost Stories. I'll keep an open mind, but this first track sounds very top 40'ish...

    Here's the first three songs from last Friday's short stripped-down set at the Belasco (this YouTube user has a few of the other songs as well). Really enjoyed seeing the songs played in this setting. Headed back tonight for the rescheduled regular show.

    Coldplay's "Adventure Of A Lifetime" sounds like newer Foals to me. Love me some old Foals. Not so much new Foals, specifically "What Went Down".

    "There was a feeling that we don't have anything to lose. We're very comfortable now with the fact that we're not for everybody."

    "People who want us to be a rock band might be disappointed, but I don't think we really are a rock band."

    "If you're a Coldplay fan, you'll love it. And if you don't like us? Don't worry about it. It's OK."

    I saw them in Atlanta in 2002 on the rail. Elton John came out and played piano on Yellow. It was sublime. And it was a time when I thought Chris Martin was endearing. Now I find him and his music annoying. Guess we all have to grow up sometime. (Parachutes is still one of my fave albums, though)
    I'm through with screaming

    I don't miss any Coldplay. I have disliked every note I've ever heard. I only miss the days before they existed :)

    Fuckin' A! Couldn't have said it any better, myself.

    I must have pissed off some karmic fairies in the universe somewhere because my 10 year old's teacher turned him onto different music in school last year and now one of his favorite bands is Coldplay (he also loves Imagine Dragons and 21 Pilots...I'm in hell). I worked so hard for years to turn him onto real rock and roll and in one fell swoop it was all gone.

    I still find Chris Martin endearing, but mostly when he's on stage with other musicians and not when he's with Coldplay. Their newer stuff makes me cringe. I do love Parachutes, and I love his enthusiasm for music and many of the musicians that I love. I mean, the dude was basically Ed's backing musician for Global Citizen, when in fact his name came before Ed's in the billing. I think that was mighty humble of him. And he got Michael Stipe to come out of retirement to sing at the Sandy benefit:
