It's another trance anthem on guitars at a snail's pace isn't it?

I really liked it until the 'ignite your bones' bit and now I can't listen without wondering whether it's actually supposed to mean something or if he only put it in so that it would rhyme...

To me it = warm you from the core, give you meaning, support etc.

Coldplay have never written interesting lyrics anyway. They write platitudes to fit the (nursery) rhyme which never go anywhere interesting or surprise you.

Did you hear about the critical mauling they've just been given in America?
The New York Times - “The most insufferable band of the decade. (Martin’s voice is)a sound somewhere between a yodel and a hiccup”.
Rolling Stone - “a blown-up band trying not to deflate”.
Spin - “Coldplay manufacture fake love as frenetically as Ford Motor Company manufactures Mustangs.”
Harsh... but fair?

That yodel/hiccup description is spot on. I should just ignore them/threads about them but I keep hearing their bloody songs. Ubiquity breeds resentment.

'Fix You' sounds like dogs howling. It's complete dirge.

Coldplay = most overrated pompous band in the world.
Q Magazine gave X & Y 5 stars. Was that a printing mistake?
Don't get me wrong, A Rush Of Blood To The Head is a good album, a great album but their latest is over blown, over produced and eh considering how long it took for them to release it, over due. There is nothing on their equal to The Scientist or Clocks or my particular favourite of theirs, Trouble.
No doubt, come the end of 2005, X & Y will be up their in the higher echos of the top 10 best albums of the year but really, I bought this album the week it came out but ever since then, I've kind of gave up on it.
They might want to become the next U2 but they need to learn how to write decent tunes first.

Coldplay are dreadful. and overrated. How do their singles do well?? Literally everyone ive asked about whether they like coldplay or not has told me this same thing... its boring, depressing and just plain shit.
Who buys the singles??!!
Theyre Obviously cunts.
Also , surely Chris is happy with his life, has a pretty wife and a child .. hows about some happy , upbeat songs??

I think to an extent Coldplay is Jo Whiley. Whenever I see or hear that woman its all she ever goes on about. Whenever I even think of the name Coldplay - its her voice thats saying it.
As for the music? Buy A-ha's last two albums and you can deffo see where Coldplay get influence on some of their tracks - except they dont imitate it nearly as good.
