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!
Thoughts?????

Is it just me or does that have some Pink Flloyd sound mixed in with the U2?
Are you friggin kidding me man????wtf is this…..it sounds like every coldplay song just distorted electronically to make it hip and with an electric guitar in the back to make it sound more rock……this is shit AND PLZ PEREZ STOP UNLOWDING CRAP ON US.btw why is gwen a douche exactly?I know she can't act if her blonde poltergeist head depended on it but is that why you hate her?
Cos she's a friend of madge (the holy skank who is more hooked on plastic surgery than cher)and we know you worship that b itch.
AND HONESTLY STOP POSTING NEWS ABT URSELF U R NOT A CELEBRITY AND U R FUG FACED.
ah… still trying to be radiohead. they'll never pull it off. and this sounds like every other coldplay song i've ever heard. not impressed.
omg so amazing
Lets start the hype. That song blows but we are suppost to woo hoo over it. No it sucks…that song suck ass. I'm not going to say it was good like a mindless fool.
loveeeeeee it!!!!
Loving all the Radiohead fans, so threatened they feel the need to post negative things just in case others dare to like it.
If you don't like Coldplay fair enough, but it's a definite progression for them and I really like it.
So hideous
Why are they releasing it now??????????????
This is what I would loving call a three legged-rhino…..
Lame.
i lub it!!! stop hating on coldplay. its good music.
I have always loved everything they have done! These all four men are totally genious! ´Violent Hill´is so so amazing! Can´t wait for the whole album!
I kind of like Coldplay's first album but I prefer Radiohead. Radiohead are far more brilliant. And anyway Chris Martin is such a pretentious moron. And him and his gawky bird/fish stick's wife is the most pretentious, self absorbed shallow and annoying actress on the planet. I wish she'd stay away the has been.
I have to say, Coldplay has been one of my favorite bands for years. I find their music as each album is released becomes less catchy and more thoughtful. This song is one that will become popular I'm sure, but it is a song that will take a few listens to - to really be able to enjoy it.
Brazilliant! LOVE IT
Coldplay is done. Their sounds is so unoriginal. The first two albums were good…but these last two…completely uninspiring.
one of the most boring white-cracker-"i wear khakis and sip on lattes" crap i've ever heard. you're taste in music really isn't that great, perez.
Its ok. It has more of a rocking sound then past albums but I do agree it sounds like poor man's oasis with a splash of the beatles and U2 thrown in. I woudn't buy it but I'd steal it from limewire
I can't wait for their entire album!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!
Simply terrible and worse yet,wont have a chance in hell of becomeing a hit.This song fails on so many levels and Alawys remember perez douches come in packs. Anyone that marries gwenth is obviously a douche.
Sounds kind of Genesis-esque, also. I like it! Coldplay is amazing. They're all geniuses!
I must say I really hate Coldplay's website. I have never been able to get emails or download anything from them in years. I do what the tell me to do and I even clicked on the if you don't get this email. I did everything and still didn't get it. I have no idea why it never works for me but it never does. I know its not me because I just downloaded NIN's new single with no problem last week.
Perfect, but… "Chris Martin is back and better than ever!"? What about the rest of the band?
this song is so boring
GINGRICH: Wright May Be Deliberately Hurting Obama…
SHARPTON blasts Obama grandstanding 'in front of white people'…
Thank the Lawd for these two pioneering me. Wright And Sharpton just couldn't diddown & shaddup. They're gonna ruin Hussein's hopes for the White House. Thank you Lawd, thank you Jesus. We're finally seeing all the shit-stirring and idiotic baggage that will come straight to Washington with Obama.
Keep rantin' & ravin' Reverend Wright and Al Sharpton…!!!
I :::heart::: Violet.
simply put - absolutely stunning
| luv luv luv
absolute PERFECTION.
they never disappoint.
I heart the crap out of Coldplay! Awesome!
love it! coldplay never fails
NOT BETTER THAN EVER. but not bad…
LONG AWAITED & AWESOME.
MMMMMmmmmm, gimme more Coldplay! I love them!!! Chris Martin kicks ass, and Perez, you are a douche for calling Gwyneth a douche, come on! If she's good enough for our Chris, she has to be amazing - and she's an incredible actress.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TOUR!
Re: GWYNETH – You need to go fuck yourself silly beatch!
COLDPLAY'S THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even classic bands suck nowadays… music is not the same it used to be.. but luckily Coldplay still keeps it alive..
I love them to death and their new album is gonna be incredible!!
Re: CHRIS MARTIN – Wow, you think that's funny? You are the douchiest douche bag, you douche. I bet your a fucking troll yourself.
OMG I LOVE COLDPLAY ALWAYS HAVE YAY NEW STUFF
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! There really isn't one song of theirs that I don't like. I am so excited to hear the rest of the album!
love it.
They had me from…
the beginning of the song. It's long overdue!
i wouldn't support/buy anything GP was even remotely related to, but this sucks anyway.
sounds like Tom Petty…not bad..not bad at all.
:)
Amazing.
Bad call Perez. Nothing exciting or innovative.
Most boring band in the world. After listening to 3 songs I feel like going to sleep or slashing my wrists. An absolute snooze.
I dunno…this tune lacks the intensity that alot of other songs have. For example, lots of tunes on X&Y had me listening to the WHOLE song for that hook that sucked me in and slapped me in the face. This one, however, just bored me. Makes me nervous that this is the first one they are putting out. Does it get better?? I don't know. I just don't know.
actually this song isn't even that good. The guitar sound doesn't compliment Chris's girly voice. I expected it to be better.
GENIUS!!!
I thought the song was somewhat mediocre, just more noise that's called rock and roll today……sounds little like Pink Floyd
very death cab. death cab with distorted guitars. love it.
Violet Hill: singing by Chris Martin, sound by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Hmmmmmm….I am gonna have to say it is a good song for today…but, I like their old stuff….I lovr Chris Martin…..but a little sold out..dont you think?
Erm, who let Oaisis in the studio?
This is supposed to be awesome? Man, no wonder the music industry is in the toilet. With people such as yourselves supporting these washed up bands who play the same song over and over and over again. Violet Hill sounds like every other song Coldplay sings because they are a band that doesn't take risks. They want the same sound all the time. I would love to hear Coldplay do something outside of their comfort zone because this is absolute shit.
HEAVENLY!
sounds like Oasis!!!!!!
Brian Eno got a great big sound on this one. Other than that, Coldplay the musak for the Zoloft generation is still the same, and will probably sell as well as ever. Keep those pills coming…
love love love it!!
its all brian eno……he is the greatest producer of his time…he did it for devo, talking heads, bowie, u2….and now the suckage that is coldplay is actually palatable
ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS ENO ROCKS
AWESOME!!! They can do no wrong! They are one of the best all-time bands!!! Their music is moving and beautiful and interesting and complex, So so good!
you hit it right on the head…its all about the eno
LOVE IT
I like Coldplay, but did not like this song at all. I really wanted it to be good but it did not live up to their potential.
Great song!
not bad, not bad at all!
I love it.
like, seriously.
their sound is unlike anything else.
I tried to download this at Coldplay.com 3 times, with no luck! A great song, but what a joke!
are they like just gonna get better and better with every album they make?
cuz if so, then I'm gonna b in love with them for a VERY long time!!!!
Coldplay, they always deliver… Music style is similar… of course… but the lyrics are definitely new (well duh!) but like the message conveyed is unlike any of their previous songs…
oh btw… i went to go download the song from their website… that shiz is taking forever and a day to send me the song!!! i signed up about 2 hours ago!! and still no sign of a song in my email!!!
good!
Wow! They've learned to sound just like Oasis. Good for them! They'll be obsolete in no time. What a load of bollocks.
not feelin' it
i love coldplayy. soo good
LOVE IT! the very end made me teary- it was a beautiful blend of their old and their recent- with a little something new!
and Gwenny is not a "douche." She's lovely!
An Amazing song! Can't wait for the new album to come out!! And for them to come to Chi town!!!
Is it the new single from oasis?
AJ loves coldplayyyyyyyyyy
It is OK but nothing exceptional.
It's Genius because of Brian Eno. He is the true musical genius
I use to like coldplay but now they just suck so bad. I hope there is at least one song that will be decent enough to listen to. You know some of these "I like coldplay" post are so obviously the same person posting over and over. I guess you feel they suck and you need to help them. To bad they can't stand on their own.
I love coldplay! This is a great song! Can't wait for the album! Thanks Perez for all you do!
Re: zeroeffect – you suck!
So how long did it take to get your "cease and desist" letter? I don't seem to remember a Perez Hilton exception to the Copyright Act.
AMAZING!!!!
i was waiting for the song to build which never happen so will need to give this a few listens. strange first single.
Love it!!!
one word—- SHIT!! coldplay is dead and gone!!! so bloody leave it that way stupid chris martin!!
DO YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GAY?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
coldplay is amazing
and their new sound is great
at first it was a bit of a let down because if you listen to something like swallowed in the sea you think THATS PURE ART.
but it grew on me, the lyrics are so incredible… and the last part is amazing.
its a sign of good things to come from coldplay!
Love it!!!!
I absolutely LOVE Coldplay! I can't wait for their upcoming tour and am counting the days for the album to drop so I can buy it off iTunes
It's classic Coldplay….welcome back you were missed!!!!
They are the fucking best! I love coldplay!
Re: Fo Realz –
dont hate bitch
I like it! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
GREAT! Sounds like Neil Young and John Lennon had a lovechild!
chris martin is a freakin genius…i love the new single….fuk i love coldplay….
are you sure this is new? sounds like the same old shit
yawn.
And I remember watching some late night talk show a few years ago when Gwyneth had recently had their first baby, and she was saying that they took their five month old daughter to see "Farenheit 911" and she said that the baby "is a Democrat".
Ummmmm……I'm pretty sure that if it's not food, toys, poop or sleep, then a baby has NO IDEA what it is. Come on. Telling people your FIVE MONTH OLD daughter's political persuasion. wow.
Coldplay is such an amazing band!! I am super excited you guys love them too. And Ive said it all along that Chris Martin is a genius!
