There are way more than two versions. lol.

Maybe then the rip will be big enough that we can push Chris Martin in and pretend it all never happened

Poor Coldplay. Made two great albums to start and get a lot of hate (as usual for my weird everything… I think Viva La Vida is fantastic and their best work)

Chris Martin has the Bono effect but with substantially less intelligence and added wetness.

What? Wetness?

What? Wetness?

Secondary definition. Might be more a British thing.

I don’t know this one real well. I’m sure I’ve listened to it, but I don’t remember it.

Spoiler alert!

For the record, Parachutes will be a 5/5 for me. A Rush of Blood to the Head I'm not as fond of besides a few tracks. I'm an X&Y truther.

"Eight Miles High" is a banger.

I'll see your hot take and raise you a "Strawberry Swing is in the running for their best song."

Can't tell if you're being serious or not..... If so, this would be quite a hot take. Especially considering the track that it follows on the album.

Not that weird of a take on Viva la Vida. They have only 3 good albums that I'd rank:
1. Rush Of Blood
2. Viva La Vida
3. Parachutes

It's my sincerely held belief, so you're not allowed to say anything discriminatory to me about it.

@Joe Mac may have some thoughts.

@Joe Mac may have some thoughts.

I have lots of thoughts all the time about lots of things. I like music, it turns my brain off sometimes.

Having given the Byrds a listen last night, I can 100% understand why this was here. 1966 and psychedelia. Much less popular psychedelia. It’s a weird album though. Uneven is how I would describe it.

I already texted my wife who despises that song. So, starting...now.

It is definitely from that change in bands being singles oriented to album focused

I enjoyed the psychedelic rock tracks much more than the folky tracks.
