Brilliant or Bland?

The debate rages. As Coldplay release their new album ‘Viva La Vida’ pundits and music lovers around the globe are asking:

“Coldplay…brilliant or bland?”

The answer: Bland…very bland….really really bland….dishwater bland.

Alan McGee, the former head man of Creation Records, once described the band as ‘beans on toast music’. Rather apt, I think.

Oh, definitely bland.

    Brilliantly bland.

    I preferred Coldplay when they were Genesis, and I hated them then. Especially after Peter Gabriel left. And I hated him, too.

    I guess Genesis and Coldplay are very similar. And that singer in Coldplay has a bit of the Phil Collins about him. No jacket required and that.

    No jacket required?
    I wish someone had told me!
    How come I’m always the last to hear about these things?
    Eh? How come?

    It being summer it should have been obvious. But then you do live in the wilds so a jacket may be required at all time.
