COLDPLAY: SINGLE GREATEST LIVING BAND!!!!!
AHHHH!! I love Coldplay!!!!
first!
second..
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?
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
(wow, i've never been second)
and I really can't believe you just said their album sucks! I love it!!!
I LOVE COLDPLAY. AND, PEREZ, IT DOES NOT SUCK. IT ROCKS.
great band. love the first single
i think it's GREAT
3RD~!!!!
it rocks
I loves it
FIRST
Love it!!!
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.
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.
First!!!!
um people still buy cds?
FUCK U PEREZ COLDPLAYS NEW CD IS AWESOME U HAVE THE SHITTIEST TASTE IN MUSIC
hated it
awesome
FIRST
FIRST BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
The album is AMAZING!!! Truly amazing! really who cares what you think… It is awesome!
FIRST!!! PEREZ YOU FUCK FACE!!!
Its £6.99 in Morrisons. Very cheap/bargin bucket price. No wonder it will be number one, everyone will be buying it for fathers day.
loveit! coldplay rules
album is great - perez sucks.
perez you suck. coldplay is wicked awesome. all those other shitty ass bands you like that no ones heard of fucking suck.
Of course you're not a fan. You have no taste in music. Clothes. Food, yes.
i love the new cd..coldplay rockz
well maybe that's just your neophyte opinion Perez ..They are one of the best bands out there, whether he respects you so called journalists or not give him his due
first
first comment
as much as i luv coldplay,
i must say theyre new ablum is not so good.
i love you perez.. but how could you say that cold play sucks…are you insane. on drugs.. i see rehab in the future for you
LOVE IT!!!
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.
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.
new album… eh… it's not very good…
it's a creative genius.
Come on Perez, the new album is GREAT!!! A little bit punchy and depper so. And I like it!!
Americans have always weird taste ;p
Its ok, good but not great.
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 ?
I've never been able to get into Coldplay. No matter how much I love his wifes best gal pal.
Hah, I kill me!
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.
LOVED the fuck out of it.
poop squirts
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
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
did u like 1 ALBUM THIS YEAR THAT IS NOT BORING ROBYN???
TOO OLD MARIO LET GO….
Seems like if you are not making money off promoting a band you think they suck. Starting to skim through your music recommendations.
i'm going to download it either way perez. i love coldplay!!
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!
no perez YOU SUCK! IDIOT!
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.
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
i love love love the first single, violet hill, very old school sounding…amazing! and yes, i do not use capitol letters ya fuckers!
heard the leak and loved it…….but come on perez,you like the jonas brothers……..maybe coldplay is too grown up 4 u
i found the album on demonoid and love it!
It's a great album, Perez… Have another listen, you usually have good taste in music!
coldplay sucks.
COLDPLAY IS A WAY BETTER BAND THAN THE 80's CRAP HASHBACK BANDS THAT YOU LOVE YOU LITTLE DICKHEAD.
Seriously, Coldplay is a really good band and this album rocks.
You know shit
I love it love it love it!!!!!
Love it!
I love love love it
It's a great album - nice to see them strive to grow………unlike the crap you promote.
Its really good. I used dislike Coldplay a few years ago but this album is great. Take a good listen!
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.
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.
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
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
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!
perez smells like butt
"Living la vida loca"… hahahahahahaha
You don't know anything about good music. Thanks for the great review.
Oh yeah, Gwyneth says hi…
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.
