Just bought this on vinyl, what happened them /mu. They were

>>74188343
rock lost 90% of its market appeal

>>74188343
I think they just want to make music for the masses
they probably know their music isn't as good as it used to be but they just don't care, as long as thousands of people go to their concert their gonna be ok with it
still
X&Y and Viva La Vida were their last effort to actually make the sound they wanted

>>74188343
Apparently they gave Chris more control and he prefers their new sound

You can only rip off Ok Computer so many times

>he prefers their new sound
More like he prefers their new money

Parachutes is not like OK Computer at all. Except for some short moments.

>>74188343
I agree. Parachutes is one of my favorite albums of all time, but their new stuff is simply pure garbage. Sad how they did such a turn for the worse.

I love that album.

>>74188343
x&y is better

>>74188343
ROBTTH > Viva la Vida > X&Y = Parachutes

Coldplay is the only band that can collaborate with Brian Eno and teh Chainsmokers in less than 12 months.

Also not good at all.

The same reason Linkin Park did. Because electronic music is what's popular so they went trap like everything else. That's why all their newer tracks are brickwalled to all fuck and have kicks stronger than the ones in trance tracks.

They could still make great tracks if they got off the EDM bandwagon but we know that isn't happening.
