Coldplay - Day 2
Today's track: Coldplay - Swallowed In the SeaToday's review: A Message
"My song is love..." croons Chris Martin, in what could be the most bored voice working today. He sounds like he might drift right into a dream state. Gone is the frantic vibe of Yellow or the soaring of Clocks. For this song we get Chris Martin, somnambulist. Over a very familiar chord progressiom Jon Buckland shows that he has still only one guitar solo in him, playing those same three notes for all their worth. A piano makes an appearance but is indistinguishable from the rest of the soundscape. "My song is love, is love alone/And I've got to get that message home," Martin sings at the end. Is it Chris? Or is the message "I've run out of ideas?"
ANGRY GUY SAYS: 4/10

Rolling Stone described Martin's voice the best: "The guy's voice sounded like a puppy kicked down a flight of stairs, one step at a time, and then kicked back up the flight of stairs."
And something on your damn site gives me popups when I load it.
