It kind of pisses me off that there's a bunch of hate on them. I mean, they've created some really gorgeous music; Fix You, Yellow, The Scientist, Clocks, Warning Sign, Paradise, Trouble... the entire Parachutes and X & Y albums. I could go on and on. And they're a great live show. Maybe it isn't your style but they're still great musicians.

Controversial but... I don't honestly get the hate for Nickelback, either. Sorry. Maybe I'm just old now and there's no hope for me. But when there are a bunch of auto-tuned, spoiled brat musicians out there right now who suck, and on top of that they behave like a child having a tantrum in a grocery store on a regular basis.... I'll take a Nickelback song anytime. I still jam when I hear 'This is How You Remind Me' or 'Far Away'.

There's something to be said about how we didn't have the option to buy a single back in the day. So a big portion of your whole album actually had to be great. Or at least commercially viable for your audience. Now, you can put out an album but no one notices there's only one good song because no one buys the whole album anymore anyway. These basic bitches can put out one song and become social media famous.

I agree. I have been disappointed with Coldplay's music for a long time, but there's no denying their first three/four albums were great. And I wouldn't have mind them going into EDM territory if they had done something special with it, but their music became generic and soulless, with few exceptions. It's good that bands evolve and change their sound (Arctic Monkeys have done it so well imo), but Coldplay evolved to something uninteresting.

People love to pile on the hate just because it's fun. Nickelback is no different than other emo bands but people love to single them out, because it's what they hear online so they keep repeating it.

I respect Coldplay for their commitment to downsize their carbon emissions and I'll be listening to their new stuff hoping they come up with something great.

Honestly the most recent album of theirs that I liked was Ghost Stories. And I always forget that Mylo Xyloto came *before*, because outisde of a few songs I didn't really like the album. I appreciate Music of the Spheres a lot more now that I've been to their MOTS tour, but X&Y, Viva la Vida and Ghost Stories will always be my faves of theirs.

I always give their albums a listen when they release them, and if I don't like it I just move on lol.
