I have a space in my heart for their first four albums. They’re perfectly enjoyable slices of indie that somewhat stood above the landfill shit that was otherwise getting airplay (fuck you Razorlight. Fuck you Kasabian).
Its fair to say that they and I grew apart from then on, as Chris Martin became more about the celebrity than the honest music, but even then, I never had any real problem with them.
They headlined Glastonbury last year and were excellent. Made me go back and listen to some of the records I’d ignored, and found that they were still a perfectly fine band. Considerably more poppy than they were, but not cynically so, I didn’t think.
But I guess Martin comes across as a little too earnest, and his marriage to Paltrow a little too right-on, so the press kept digging in to them, as is their wont. That made people think it was popular to shit on them.
Aww cmon Kasabian has a good album or two. I feel that about Coldplay’s first four albums. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say they fell off at a certain point and became just another group pumping out four chords and repetetive refrains over a dance beat. If anything my dislike for them is rooted in the fact that they used to be better.
God, I hate Kasabian. Shit thick music for drunks to yell along to after the football.
I saw them back before their first album came out, supporting the Von Bondies. They were fucking dreadful. A bunch of tracksuit wearing Ian Brown wannabies.
