New Coldplay!!!!!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Listen To This > Coldplay

Gwyneth Paltrow may be an insufferable douche, but her husband is a genius.

Chris Martin is back and better than ever!

His band's new single has dropped today and it is Coldplay at its best, a beautiful fusion of melody and melancholy.

Check out the exquisite Violet Hill below!

Some should let him out of that giant can he's "singing" in. So is this supposed to be a tribute to the Beatles or is it just a ripoff of their sound? Or is it a tribute to Oasis doing a tribute to the Beatles? Either way, it sucks ass.

The only reason Coldplay has any fame is because of the seemingly superior band, Travis, paved the way for them. Chris Martin is only good for getting into a studio, hitting record and whining into a microphone for 12 tracks.

NOPE says – reply to this

50

STILL TERRIBLE!

they couldn't pay me to download this album!

i downloaded In Rainbows and bought NIN Ghosts

My favorite albums this and last year were Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam, Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, and Phantom Planet's Raise the Dead.

But if you can't keep up with them, you don't deserve to be alive.

LOVE IT! It gets better the more you listen to it. Especially love the guitars. Good sign of what's to come with the album… can't wait to hear the rest. Now I just need to bag one of those free concert tickets!

I really love Coldplay's sound, and it's nice to see Yoko 'Trow-no hasn't destroyed the music.

I wouldn't have beef with her, because I think her star has faded and I felt sorry after her father passed, but after she moved to London and trashed New York (comparing the West Village to "Disneyland") I have no more time for her. I wish buying his music wasn't lining her pockets, but oh well….

To Citygal–TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU..what's really bad..1 of my all time favorite songs is GREEN EYES..after Chris got got with Goko - he said that he would never perform that song again (song was written for his ex)..I saw then perform on Jone Beach (best concert ever) and such a shame…

Liam Gallagher from Oasis will be screaming "U Fookin' Ripped us Off"! The sound is VERY Oasis, and reminds me of "What's the Story Morning Glory".

I love Coldplay, they rock my socks off. Chris is amazing, Gwenth is a lucky women, with a man like that I would want him to sing me to sleep everynight.
Kat says – reply to this

97

I gave it another listen still hate it more now than ever.
I'm so not liking that. Funny how they picked this week to drop the single. I think the whole pansy band are riding on Gwyneth career.

Bobbi says – reply to this

As always, Coldplay and Chris Martin make GREAT music. I have loved them since their huge hits Yellow and Trouble. I have every CD, and his voice, meloncholy and sweet, just touches my soul. Their music - from lyrics to instrumental - allow you to just sit back and enjoy, no matter the context you are in!!!! As with all musicians, and Genres some will love them or hate them. I just happen to LOVE coldplay! Downloading the FREE song now.

I'd hardly call Chris Martin a "genius". Listen to Team Sleep and Deftones, people. Chino Moreno is as close to a musical genius as our generation will ever get. (I personally feel he is one).

Beyonce SHINES At Revel! WERKS Single Ladies & Halo! Watch!!

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
