This is precisely my point. As the band gets bigger the the haters increase, even though the things were good about the band remain. It's silly to me. There are still songs like "Yellow" and "Shiver" on the first record. And their are still mellowed out tracks on the new record (tons). PS: "Warning Sign" is on Rush of Blood.

no one argues that coldplay isn’t nice to listen to (that they “like” it, as you so badly want them to admit); in fact, that’s precisely the reason they ARE so hated. there comes a point when ‘nice’ becomes ‘jesus christ turn that nonsense off’.

if coldplay were relegated to their pre-rush of blood status, when they were less known and consequently more tolerable (‘we never change’ and ‘warning sign’ are also perfectly fine for sunsets on the beach) – pretty, mellowed out background music, there wouldn’t be so many haters.

when they took the plunge from mellow to big, or merely boring to insufferably obnoxious, it just became too much.
