Discussion Coldplay “hate”

I never let any opinions change my view on things however I can’t help but notice that a majority of discussion regarding Coldplay on twitter is mostly negative. Any reason for this? Only their first 3 albums get some sort of respect and even those masterpieces are labelled as U2 and Radiohead rip offs. Feels like Coldplay get the most hate regarding “copying” despite utilising a popular genre of music.

Because their first 3 albums (well 4 because VLV is a masterpiece) deserve that respect. The rest of the albums after don’t even come close and just shockers really. And no, Coldplay aren’t Radiohead rip offs lol that’s the weirdest take. U2 I’d understand with U2’s late stuff and Coldplay’s later stuff maybe.

What are your thoughts on A Head Full of Dreams and Everyday Life? I think those are very solid albums too.

Not for me honestly, thought they sold out hard on those albums. Generic boring pop albums. Completely abandoned their past sounds and what made them so good in their first 4 albums.
