So sad indeed.  Does this mean we're not friends?  

You sure do dish it out.  Maybe you should stay away from comment boards if you can't take a little comeback. 

Now now, you are indeed a sharp person.   Peace.

I consider Coldplay one of my favorite bands, but if all their music sounded like their singles, I would probably hate them too. 

I never need to hear Yellow, In My Place, The Scientist, or Fix You.  All very simple, commercial, mediocre songs.  What the world knows of Coldplay is the product of a brilliant A&R person who somehow picked songs that would become insanely popular, but in my opinion are their weakest stuff.

Another reason why I adore RP is that they play the "deep cuts" like Cemetaries of London, High Speed (!!!), Green Eyes (my wedding song) and the unreleased version of Talk, that is vastly superior to the album/single version.  Songs like these are why I love this band.  There are some additional B-Sides and EP tracks that I'm going to try to upload that will show that these guys really can rock, and have some serious song-writing chops.  These guys really do have tremenous talent, but their more creative stuff takes a back seat to radio-friendly music that appeals to both teens and the adult-alternative easy listening crowd.  

That all said, don't even get me started on their concerts.  If you like 85 minute shows with costumes, lighting, pre-recorded instruments, and hearing every single the band ever released, you will love Coldplay in concert.

Again?  Please throw on "Life in Technicolor" once in a while.  One of the best videos I've ever seen (and available in HD):

I think Radiohead are brilliant, but over the last few years I much prefer what Coldplay has actually produced, which is lots of really good songs. 
I can't help but wish whatever tripped in Thom's head that altered the Bends/OK Computer trajectory, hadn't, because I can't sing along to most of their new improved experimental noise-music.

cool!

I get Radiohead and Gnarls Barkley and much (though not all) of Coldplay, though I can't stand a lot of bands that do similar things to those 3. 

But I don't get Santana or Stevie Ray Vaughn, even though I groove on most blues and album-oriented rock.  Go figure. 

This drivel begs for a 'Mute' rating.

This song is well written and produced but I dunno about the lyrics though....

However, I totally agree with your Radiohead comment.  Totally.

Awful.
I really want to like Coldplay, I do. But I can't if they keep churning out such drivel.

OVER RATED IN SO MANY WAYS!

Damn, can't stand Coldplay anymore! Boring voice. Their first album started out good but soon got boring. Since than I can't stand the music. Please skip next time!

This is my favorite album of year even if they did rip off Steve Vai. This album does not grow old on me. In fact, Coldplay is now in one of my top ten favorite bands. If you buy one CD for a friend or relative for Christmas, let it be this album.

My apologies to Coldplay aficionados, but I have to say, I really, really hate this band. Don't know what it is exactly, but their music leaves me cold. I think this band is highly overrated. Their widespread popularity is one of those things I don't understand like why that Gnarls Barkely song is so damn popular and why everyone likes Radiohead. I just don't get it.

I just picked up on the potential influence.  Good call.

Still like this and really don't think that overall it sounds anything like Steven Wilson's material.

Many haters below: Oh, it's Coldplay, I have to post a comment about how much they suck.

Me: Try actually listening to the song before you condemn it.

Fantastic arrangement.
