my musical journey also started with coldplay around like 6 years old or something maybe lmao. seeing them live was a formative experience for me

Album Rating: 3.5

also i guess this is sort of a 'you had to be there' album? because all i'm hearing is a pretty decent rock album, but i'm not really hearing the classic status

Album Rating: 3.5

nice coldplay is top tier music entry music

how fuckin tragic is it that the US version of this album replaces the best song with the worst song

"also i guess this is sort of a 'you had to be there' album? because all i'm hearing is a pretty decent rock album, but i'm not really hearing the classic status"

probably, the immense amounts of hype probably don't help in retrospect. i feel like this one isn't as beloved as it used to be

Album Rating: 4.0

trouble with its classic status is that the wave it helped inspire is not looked upon too fondly in retrospect

Album Rating: 4.0

one of those 'for better or for worse' things. i increasingly count myself in the 'for worse' camp, but still enjoy rinsing this every now and then

There’s a funny show of them in 2000 at Arlene’s grocery, which is still around, on youtube

Album Rating: 4.5

Tbf when i heard this for the first time I was literally like 'Is This It' but I gave it time to grow and now I love it

Album Rating: 4.0

Iconic album! Absolutely oozing with nostalgia from start to finish.

Album Rating: 4.0

Did have it at a 4.5 but I can't get over the repetitive nature of this album. I feel like their later material is far more exciting and adventurous, which gives them more room to grow. This album bangs but it does wear a little thin on repeat listens.

Album Rating: 4.5

raised in carolina... i'm not like that...
