They are shit, they are part of the joke that is modern mainstream music.

What's even more of a joke is the modern million dollar recording studio. The best mics and equipment in the world don't mean a god damn thing if you compress the fuck out of the music to make it "radio friendly." Someone down the line had this bright idea one day that ripping the fucking soul and dynamics out of modern music seemed to be a good idea. All these douchebag million dollar studios and mastering guys do it, trust me. I'm a recording dork though, anyone who wishes to argue, please by all means, argue.

this thread wouldn't be complete without a pic of Skufty's balls

By chance is Skufty a blood hound?

I have to be in the right mood for them but, when I am, I reallly really like them.

you emit an offensive odor :1orglaugh

i liked their songs 2 years ago

:smokin

I don't like suicidal music

It's decent.. their new album is also decent.
Not in my top 10 favorite bands, but I don't change the channel if they're on radio when I drive (and I do have all of their albums).

They are a good "filler" to a music collection. I couldn't see them as a top played track in my iPod but they are good if you need music to fall asleep to at night. I don't see that they'll have lasting power, then again, I said that after "Parachutes". They are contrived and generic but they do teeter on the edge of innovation without actually being innovative.

i like them....i like their songs:)

Suicidal? :1orglaugh
So I guess the lyrics "We live in a beautiful world" makes you want to kill yourself?

I for one, really like them. Especially the song "Don't Panic"

Personally, I can't stand the band. Sounds like basic radio pop rock to me.

The burgers need to be flipped, surfer, get off your manager's computer.

Here is their new single -

Cold Play - Speed Of Sound

So, no PortisHead for you? They provide the a sexy soundtrack for suicide - you can almost hear the razorblade ripping through the flesh.

They are ok but highly overrated and hiped...

The = is a symbol for Make Trade Fair (he either has those words or the equals sign on his hand)

Socialist bullshit.

Coldplay is awesome

I bought X&Y and Really enjoy it.
I don't pay attention to any 'messages' bands try to promote nor do I watch music videos because for me, they both tend to ruin songs that I like.

Portishead rocks...outstanding tunes :thumbsup :thumbsup
