That might explain why the album sounds half-cooked.

Or does it? You tell me...

The White Stripes - Black Orchid

Today's Track: Coldplay - What If

Today's Review: Square One

Rumour has it that while Coldplay was recording this song they were also debating becoming The Coldplay. Perhaps the only song to truly deserve the U2 comparisons, Square One features the falsetto and inane lyrics of previous songs, but also a rumbling guitar presence (sadly diminished by another three note guitar shape). It even has Edge-like "woooo oh ohs" mixed in. I actually kind of like this song, but still can't understand the complete dependence on the quiet to loud formula. It reminds me of The Vestibules - Grunge Song:

This is the part of the song
That's really quiet
We play very soft
It sounds like a ballad

And this is the part
Where we play real hard
It's much louder
Than at the beginning

And we go back
To the quiet part
Again
If the whole song was this way
It would be boring

So we go back to playing loud
It's like the first time
But slightly louder
This is usually the place
Where it would be quiet again
But we don't want it to be
Too predictable
Predictable
Predictable
