It's not that Coldplay are gloomy, it's just that their songs don't ever go anywhere. Each songs starts in one mode and then just stays in it, also about a minute into the song, you've pretty much heard every single idea they've bothered to put into it.

They're easily outflanked in the same general field by The Doves, Elbow and even Athlete, when they're in a darker mood.

i just like the songs, they're not very demanding i agree, i just like 'em sometimes. the promoters and media  have oversold Coldplay, they shove 'em right in yer face, now everyone's sick of them.  you can even buy "X & Y" in the supermarket along with the milk and sausages! are you put off by a group because they're absolutely everywhere? i was put off getting "Brothers in Arms" for years as i was sick of hearing about it, i heard it at every bar and house party i went to.  it was  marketed as the "greatest album ever made" at the time, it is good and i have it now, but sometimes you feel like a sheep if you follow the flavour of the month.

Ahem! To get back to the original thread - "Kayleigh" had the singlehanded effect of putting me off Marillion for YEARS! It was worse than anything Phil Collins inflicted on Genesis... Censored

I heard the album (Misplaced Childhood) before I ever heard the single Kayleigh, and to me the song didn't stand out as being bad, I actually like it quite a lot. What really p*ssed me off is the single edit they did. The single as released here in the Netherlands cut out the guitar solo of about 1:45 to 2:20. Probably since the song is more than 4 minutes and they "had" to bring it back to 3:30 or so. That way the best part of the song is removed! I always HATED that single version because it destroys a reasonably good Marillion track.

I think it's a pretty good song, like I said.  It's MUCH better than, say, "Hard As Love", IMO.

"More Fool Me" is much worse.

It cripples an album that would otherwise be a prog masterpiece.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Which really says more about the overall quality of MC than about the quality of Kayleigh.
