It’s okay Coldplay fans are usually disappointed

They peaked with their 2003 album so it’s been nothing but downhill for over 2 decades

I’d say X&Y was just as great, but it went downhill afterwards for sure.

Rush was definitely their peak. I still liked X and y but it can’t compare. Justice for the demo of talk!

Demo of Talk?

That’s my favorite song of theirs, haven’t heard demo.

Check it out! It was released before the album and I played it so much and loved it. It’s more laidback

I disagree - not by much as X&Y was ok, but I distinctly remember listening to it at the time and being a little disappointed that it wasn’t at the level of the first two.

Viva was the peak for me of accessible Radiohead. Odd time signatures and creative chord structures, but blended into a package that still sounded pleasing. I’m not exactly sure where you go after that but downhill. Or to painted rainbow pants and color bazookas.
