It was a fun afternoon evening. Here are a few screen grabs of my Oscar worthy performance,     |

That's cool JD!
I like this album from Coldplay. I do tend to like a lot of their music despite its commercial appeal.

Coldplay makes some solid stuff but people just like to rip on them because they're popular.

X&Y was their last album I found interesting, although I've sort of grown out of it since. It's been a while since I last heard this one and Mylo Xyloto but I remember both being kind of a slog to sit through; I haven't bothered to check out anything they've made afterwards besides whichever nonsense of them I happen to catch on the radio

I agree, although their latest one is quite interesting.

I was just listening to this album last night and I realized I really think it's a masterpiece. It's as colorful and well put together as Sgt. Pepper's, in places as cinematic as Rush, and all with its own empathetic flair. I also think many of its songs have strong proggy elements. 42 and Death And All Of His Friends especially strike me as crossover prog or prog pop.
Anyway I know among most hardcore music fans its pretty cool to hate on these guys regardless, but I'm wondering if anyone else here happens to like this album in particular.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
