Once you start relistening to Heathen Chemistry whilst skipping Force of Nature you will never want to stop beating Noel Gallagher to death with your bare hands for including it to begin with
After years of apathy I suddenly got compelled to relisten to this album at every commute to work and I could physically feel myself morphing into a 90s working-class Bloke.
I got caught in a mousetrap of enjoying pop music because it had a Strokes-shaped slice of cheese as bait
Its ironic, yet oh so beautiful, that I found this band through radio. This LP is like tuning into the sound of pure safety with layers of distortion in the broadcast, yet that harsh noise somehow ends up feeling like a cozy blanket around you and the music it surrounds. Like nighttime rain.
Possibly the biggest rug-pull album I've ever listened to. It's like the opener is just there to lull you to safety – and then Is It Me tries to pull the same shit eight tracks in???
Meet POTENTIAL ALBUM!!!
"but When You Were Young is better than Mr Brightside!!"
"At least it isn't Day & Age!"
"Its like Pinkerton, thats a good album!!"
They call it 007
0 cohesion
0 cultural relevance
7 as the average critic score
Give me Flowers
Give me Killers
Give me poprock
And mediocre fillers
Capitalize on Hot Fuss' bredth of sonic diversity? ❌️
Just keep trying different flavors of Mr Brightside ✅️
insane whiplash to realize that the album that birthed the perennial white people anthem has a song with basically straight up gospel on it three tracks later and nobody talks about it
They're calling it the Coldplayiest record Coldplay have ever Coldplayed
I promise I like this band for more reasons than just being queer Strokes-likes from my home country – but also holy shit the switch from English to Swedish at the climax of 201 did something etherial to me.
Watch any interview with Maroon 5 where Kara's Flowers gets brought up and Adam enters a borderline non-verbal level of shame just remembering it all. Which is fucking insane considering As Things Collide might still be one of the best things he's ever written.
How the hell do you make an ENTIRE ALBUM of nothing but curveballs – including mid-song curveballs!! – and still have most of them land ?? Its like they heard people say their sound was getting stagnant and just fucking snapped.
These dudes sound like if Arctic Monkeys had good manners and smoked a little weed
chris martin today: love will save us all ♡ together we are united as mankind. thoughts and prayers ☆
chris martin, 2000: the secret police are in my walls the spies are in the thames theyre going to shoot me down in the street
my favorite white boy goes off his meds and immediately starts saying shit like "our free will is meaningless when the capitalistic elite control all that can come of it" and "wouldnt it be Really funny if Juicebox was the lead single"
Reptilia is like a scream of pure drywall-punching anger and the rest of the album is like a depressive reflection on how you probably shouldn't punch drywall
