Coldplay has never been cool, and yet they’ve outlasted (and definitely outsold) nearly every other band of their generation. He must also know that, deep down, the jokes don’t matter. He seems like he has a pretty good sense of humor about himself. I only made the joke because Coldplay is an easy target.Īnd yet if Chris Martin himself saw that tweet, I bet he would also laugh. I own their first five records, and I believe they should pass The Five Album Test. But here’s the thing: I actually really like Coldplay. Twitter being Twitter, the joke went over well. Get it? Coldplay was once dismissed as Radiohead lite, which can only mean that their attempt to stretch out sonically will result in a barely passing grade. “Kid B-” I called it, a reference to Radiohead’s landmark 2000 album, Kid A. Advance word was it was a double album with an “experimental” bent, which prompted me to tweet this dumb joke. Last month, it was reported that Coldplay was set to release its eighth studio album, Everyday Life, on November 22.
