    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!

          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.
