It's unfair of critics to allude to Radiohead when touting Coldplay, since they are leagues apart.<BR/>By the way, In Rainbows is an incredible album; I feel Radiohhead often doesn't get the credit they deserve as musical pioneers. They have been a staple of mine for quite some time.Bryan Polhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993593667084804353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026326656676503426.post-3582763175373380622008-06-24T10:14:00.000-04:002008-06-24T10:14:00.000-04:00I will have to respectably disagree with this one,...I will have to respectably disagree with this one, but I know i'm in the minority on this one; it's also more of a knock on Coldplay and not on <I>Viva La Vida</I>. <BR/><BR/>Coldplay has always come off to me as a prepackaged Radiohead; once Radiohead went off in a slightly less commercial direction Coldplay stepped in and offered up slightly warmed over "The Bends" era Radiohead. I just can't see what the big deal is with this band. <BR/><BR/>As a guitarist, the guitars (especially on Viva La Vida) just aren't cool. He's trying to channel The Edge (U2) but comes off forgettable. <BR/><BR/>I dunno, it's just weird; I can't buy what they are selling, but it seems i'm the only one!<BR/><BR/>Talking about the aforementioned Radohead: If you haven't heard <I>In Rainbows</I>, give it a listen. I was growing weary of Radiohead, but they made yet another left turn in their career and it's definitely one of their better albums.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984995532883536746noreply@blogger.com
