my favorite music review ever.
There is a great review of Coldplay’s latest album X&Y, and the band in general, in the NYTimes. In general I feel the same way about coldplay, not to mention a lot of other new bands around right now. Angst is well and good, but too many bands seem to be singing about how depressed and lonely and desolate everything is.
I haven’t heard much of the album, just a couple songs, but nothing about it is really interesting to me. Maybe it’s because i try to see things positively even when they aren’t going well, but i guess i’m not angsty enough to sacrifice interesting melodies in music for looping hooks and whininess. Or i am, but i just try not to be so emo about it.
