Gladiator Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Chris needs to stop enlisting the production support of his brother. It clearly does not resonate as well as the rest of their material. I'm not getting the takes of people saying they release bad music. I do agree that the last two of of substantially less quality to the rest of their body of work, and they have had some spotty releases through their tenure - but to say that they as a whole are a bad band and release bad music is definitely a head scratcher. I would like to know why some of you guys think that.
Paddy Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Their albums are sadly declining in quality. Sometimes feel a bit pretentious in a way that they want it to feel like something special with those moody themes and topics of planets/moons but feel flat and sound generic. Their music comes to life once in a live show. Their music makes more sense in a stadium or concert venue and yes their older hits are amazing and a big draw but the show they put on is what they are known for. I loved their show, it was one of the best ones I went to, but their new album needs more listens, exploration to find that something special for it to click in and not many want to do that in this fast era of music when it's so easy to move on to something/someone else.
Elusive Chanteuse Posted October 7 Posted October 7 1 hour ago, TayDuaStan said: Because no one cares about them & their music currently. They are a legacy act & their tour is only popular because of the bracelets lights show gimmick (i know a lot of people who attended the concert just for that, without knowing any song from their discography ) That's ridiculous. They have tons of classic songs. And you can say that about any artist you wants to see an artist just for the hype. An average person doesn't know 3 hours of taylor swift music but they go anyway. 9 1
Bradphord Posted October 7 Posted October 7 1 hour ago, SlowGinFizzzz said: Their music has always been somewhere between mediocre and abysmal, so it's kinda nice to see the critical reception finally reflecting that. It hasn't. Most of y'all, who've never listened to more than 2 tracks just keep parroting what you've read on the internet. They (might have) lost it along the way, but their first 3 albums are fantastic.
stevyy Posted October 7 Posted October 7 The album is a 100/10. It will sell 5 million units just this year, bookmark me.

jomarr Posted October 7 Posted October 7 A Head Full of Dreams was their last good album. Viva La Vida was their last great album. I agree that they are indeed a legacy act now.
HausOfPunk Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Their music used to be so much better before (late 90s to the late 2000s). Now they're just interested in getting radio play and selling tour tickets with generic songs that all sound the same.
Johnny Jacobs Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Girl they released good music up until 2012. No one is shocked
AvadaKedavra Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I dont know their music that well. Only some singles but i been noticing how in the recent years their music is all like happy? and very colorful? I think that can be a problem. The truth is people are depressed and sad and they want artsy stuff in the vibe of their first albums Those looked kinda moody and like darker and like deeper? dont know Correct me if im wrong
Rev8 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 3 hours ago, Forever Winter said: Haven't listened yet but I'm shocked to see Max Martin and Ilya on the production credits Haven't they always been? (at least Max) ot: Kind of shocking so many acts have been doing so bad this reminds me of the P!nk situation, where she can't hold her place anymore, despite having productions from her sure-fire producers

Mylo Xyloto and Ghost Stories are incredible albums.

UnusualBoy Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Didn't they struggled with their last album? They're a legacy act so it's not like this is gonna affect them, they should be fine.
stevyy Posted October 7 Posted October 7 160k in the UK after 3 days? Can they reach 180k from the UK alone? My lord. + at least 40k from Germany... my Jesus. The slay is real. They might debut with 400k in week 1 globally. 1

I mean, they're calling them plain but stan the most generic artists as if calling them top 40 is some insult when that's all everyone's faves make 2
Shelter Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Not a Swiftie going on about bracelets, your fav literally started doing it after Coldplay
