um... a lot of people get the NY Times, and so a lot of people end up reading Jon Pareles, but I'm not sure anyone finds his opinions very consequential. Am I wrong? Unlike, say, A.O. Scott for film or Michiko Kakutani for lit--people care what those NYT critics think (in the U.S. at least).

yeh, woah! they're light years ahead of their time!
jesus.
shit, x-post.
and chris, this is why people hate you: because you spend so much fucking time worrying about what people think of you. stop responding to every piece of criticism, stop changing your set list because of a mediocre review (how little self-confidence can this band have?) and ... ach, just stop.

I just don't understand why everyone is so angry at Coldplay around here. If you don't like "middle-of-the-road" bands, there are much worse enemies out there to strike out at. And how many I-Hate-Coldplay threads and posts does it take before you realize, "Hrm, maybe we've made our point."
It's like this is metafilter, and Chris Martin is GW Bush (a more deserving target). Geesh.

---Ok first what the fuck doesn't? Second THAT'S the uptodate list that inspired an 80s-sounding record? Can this guy fucking read? I guess tho liking shit that's 20 yrs old is kinda uptodate for a "rock band" right now. I quite like Coldplay, too. As it goes.
