Selling Like Hotcakes

Filed under: Music Minute > Coldplay

Coldplay's new album ~~Living La Vida Loca~~ Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends" sold 125,000 copies its first DAY out in the UK, according to new reports.

It's expected to clinch the #1 spot on the UK album chart. Easily.

We're not a big fan of the album.

It sucks!

For those of you who shelled out your pounds for the album — what do U think?

I love it! So much better than the previous album? Perhaps, I'm unaware because of being in Scotland, but what is your relevance to the British music industry?
Drea says – reply to this

Its not like their other albums, but its pretty good. Its experimental and they went out of the box. They expanded their music abilities so i give full credit!!!! who wants to keep hearing the same shit over and over again!!! blah

Perez you're a loser. Coldplay is the biggest band in the world for a reason. The album is amazing. You wouldn't know good music if it bit you in the ass. You like sht music. Turn off your radio and find some real music.
Donna says – reply to this

16

You suck. Maybe you should take a second look at the album with out your
bitter ears. Open up your mind and let the music talk to you dumb dumb.

Music is super-personal Perez and for you to simply throw out it sucks before it even releases in the US is lame. Write a review, hold off until it is released, and then collect opinions and see what others think compared to your review. Would be a lot more interesting that way.

Laney says – reply to this

38

I think the new ALANIS MORISSETTE ALBUM, FLAVORS OF ENTANGLEMENT is far better… it's out now guys, check out songs like Versions of Violence, Tapes, Giggling again for No Reason, Orchid, Striatjacket, The Guy Who Leaves among more on the deluxe version. Seriously her best shit yet.
coldf says – reply to this

39

Don't diss such an amazing band! Especially when you apparently listen and support constant drivel and not musically talented artists. Coldplay are artists who are true musicians, not this stupid bubble gum pop/indie rock that is coming out in droves. I love you Perez, but don't diss these guys.
toots says – reply to this

new album… eh… it's not very good…

Its ok, good but not great.
andy says – reply to this

44

You're a loser Perez. You wouldn't know good music if it bit you in the ass. You like shit music. garbage. Turn off your radio and find some good music. Theres a reason y coldplay are the biggest rock band in the world. The album is amazing, did you even listen to it all/more than once ?
Crybaby & says – reply to this

45

I've never been able to get into Coldplay. No matter how much I love his wifes best gal pal.

Hah, I kill me!
PR Di says – reply to this

46

If you think it sucks then the album is probably amazing! Your taste in music isn't always the best Perez….with the exception of Katy Perry.
Lisa says – reply to this

47

LOVED the fuck out of it.

David says – reply to this

But of course you think it sucks Perez…
You have showed us what you think is HOT….
Not everyone likes some washed up FAG disco club crap
BTW the Coldplay album is wonderful
inerz says – reply to this

50

i think coldplay its like on of those band who has just a season of luck, but hey its the same shit in every album, and crhis marin is trying to imitate thom yorke , but the never never will happen, so ill never buy a cd again, thats my point of view
hugot says – reply to this

51

TOO OLD MARIO LET GO….
Twinm says – reply to this

52

Seems like if you are not making money off promoting a band you think they suck. Starting to skim through your music recommendations.
katrinasummer says – reply to this

53

i'm going to download it either way perez. i love coldplay!!
??? says – reply to this

54

so much better than the shit that perez recommends… goes to show what bad taste he has in music… and he still wants to head a record company! good luck!
ihate says – reply to this

55

no perez YOU SUCK! IDIOT!
Pfft says – reply to this

56

Perez, you're not known for your good music taste, so I'm going to ignore you're little review.
Ya, I recall you say Ultraviolet is better than both Daft Punk and Justice.
Rick says – reply to this

57

Perez - go and fuck yourself, you represent everything wrong with the US. This album happens to be incredible - how a man like you will get a music label is fucked up
kasha says – reply to this

58

i love love love the first single, violet hill, very old school sounding…amazing! and yes, i do not use capitol letters ya fuckers!
nancy says – reply to this

Megan says – reply to this

69

Its really good. I used dislike Coldplay a few years ago but this album is great. Take a good listen!
Sara says – reply to this

70

the first single is one of the best songs they've ever made
i mean, all they do is steal Radiohead's songs (they've admitted to stealing there songs losers so don't start throwing a fit) but recently they've been attempting to make there own music and its not half bad.
evan says – reply to this

71

What the hell talent do you have Perez to be saying this album sucks? You are totally just promoting girls you like *jewel/katy perry* and trashing on everyone who doesn't wanna be your fag hag. Get a fucking life. Learn to make music if you want to talk shit on other people's. ITS NOT THAT EASY. PS your clothing line fucking sucks worse than LC's or Heidis.
Kayla says – reply to this

72

Perez,
I like reading your site but your taste in a lot of music kinda really sucks and Coldplay decided to put out an album that is different and that is not so studio commercial like
X&Y was. It is brilliant! So stop trying to report on music and stick to what you know best- mindless Hollywood gossip! Thanks
Dick says – reply to this

73

I streamed the album online and have listened to it twice through…it's quite brilliant, better than I expected after reading their interview in NME. Great album
josh says – reply to this

74

i love how some of you assholes talk shit about perez…yet you still come and read and comment his blog…fuckin retards. P.S. Coldplay is garbage!

"Living la vida loca"… hahahahahahaha
Chris says – reply to this

77

You don't know anything about good music. Thanks for the great review.

Oh yeah, Gwyneth says hi…
Em says – reply to this

78

Perez quit saying the album sucks. It doesn't. In fact, it's brilliant. I think it's their best work to date. Your taste is music is awful Perez. I predict Viva La Vida will be the best selling album of the year.
laura says – reply to this

79

Perez! How dare you say they suck! They write their own music and play their own instruments, plus they took a risk with their new album. Don't be too quick to judge just yet. You always say it takes you a couple of listens to like the songs.
PEREZ says – reply to this

80

PEREZ UR A BITCH@!!!
U JUST TALKED SHIT ABOUT CHRIS MARTIN AND NOW YOURE SAYING HOW THEIR ALBUM IS SELLING??
WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE YOU?? CONIVING BITCH!!!
KiKi says – reply to this

81

It's an awesome album, brilliant and Chris Martin is a genius so shut up and ask your precious Robyn to shut hers as well.
jo-ch says – reply to this

82

I have to agree with you on this one. It didn't really suck… it was just not memorable. I really like Viva la Vida but the rest of the album was just boring to me and I literally was put to sleep by it. Not at all what I have come to expect from the band.
txusm says – reply to this

83

Well, in my opinion there are only 3 songs that are good: Strawberry Swing, Violet Hill and Viva la Vida. The rest is, as we say in Spain, "infumable". That is, unbearable. These three songs are Coldplay songs, the rest are a failed attempt to imitate Radiohead, but Radiohead are much better anyway. What do you guys think, which ones are your favourite songs'??
Alyss says – reply to this

84

coldplay rocks me. it's pretty good. it's just a lot less glamorous.
delll says – reply to this

85

They took chances and the result is AMAZING!
hstew says – reply to this

86

that's because perez only like shitty artists. coldplay is classic.
Amie says – reply to this

87

I like their new album. I mean it isn't AMAZING but it's good! I'm not sure why you hate it so much Perez.
trash says – reply to this

88

not commercial at all.
but it sounds like they "found" something profound in life
and they are trying to share it.
maybe your not there.
maybe you are and dont get it.
maybe you just dont fucking like it!
either way, no one is wrong.
i love the album. you love to hate it (and everything else =P)
lets face it… we cant all be perfect like you and hate everything.
HA!
xoxx.
Fags says – reply to this

89

You obviously have shitty taste in music, Coldplay is a great band, and so is their new release. Listen to other things other than mainstream shit and maybe you'd appreciate more varieties of music.
marce says – reply to this

90

perez i hope youre bluffing cause its their best damn album ever
Sam says – reply to this

91

Loved it–and let's get real, Perez–you ain't no music critic. Just because you constantly hate on/are jealous of, Gwenyth (another person who actually has talent), doesn't mean that her husband and his band mates don't make great music.
Mary2 says – reply to this

92

Re: Mary – About the same as your relevance to an American website, I suppose
mark says – reply to this

93

Perez sucks but another thing. Marito, I think u r very funny and so much fun… but… what do u know about british rock? Im sure is not as much as u know about Britney's music.
=PP
Hey T says – reply to this

94

Why are people so riled up? He's entitled to his opinion and why do you care that he doesn't like it? Why don't you start your own website instead of jumping on 'HIS' personal website and yelling at him for giving 'HIS' personal opinion. I heart Coldplay but i don't understand why people care if Perez Hilton does. So odd…
Julia says – reply to this

95

i like there new album- perez i love u but u can be a little to harsh
lulu says – reply to this

96

You are usally right but this time you got it wrong sorry.
M says – reply to this

97

What the fuck is wrong with your ears? Easily the album of the year, if not, album of the decade. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends is brilliant. Genius really…
cc says – reply to this

98

perez you really do have the WORST taste in music.

the album is great
novac says – reply to this

Coldplay Rocks!!!!! Perez you suck!!!
