Coldplay is a very musical band. I like their music enough. At one point one of their albums was the most popular in the world, I think. In college we would call it "panty-dropping" music. Which sounds sexist, but is not a bad thing at all, is it?

So is Deep Sunshine. You can't deny the mastery of the keyboardist's skills.

It's no laughing matter, man.

We all had such high hopes when their debut album came out:

Yup. The only guy who has been in better movies is Billy Bob Thornton.

While I agree with that statement fully, I believe it is the vocals that really make Deep Sunshine THE world's greatest band. Not to downplay the other artists in the group, of course.

True enough, sure.

Let's face it - they were going nowhere with Henry Rollins:

I'll admit for the longest time I thought that Youtube Final Countdown video was of the actual band, Europe, who had sunk so low as to play empty fairground concerts. They should be so lucky.

They are a soulless U2 ripoff band that is big because they were pushed by the RIAA. Our local station in Richmond, 102 the X, has been advertising the crap out of them. So with no coincidence, they are also getting more and more airtime.

In short, they are the new Creed and need to DIAF.

On that note, bet your ass we are going to audition.

So has everyone else. Zune, Last.fm, and iTunes have featured them for weeks.

I listened to their new album. Not great, but I've certainly heard worse. I'll agree they are trying to be Creed.

The new Coldplay is a decent release, their best since 2002. However, A Rush of Blood to the Head is a great album. Anyone who can't appreciate it, is welcome to their opinion along with the people who think the Transformers movie rocked and love an ice cold PBR. In this diverse world, there are plenty who think all these things are de facto truths.

/not a fanboi but not afraid to listen to music other than obscure Icelandic death metal.

Their Black Metal is better... but I guess if you want to like the old stuff... go for it.

Funny you should mention that.

There is a reason why Bono is so revered...
