I don't feel sorry for Cameron Diaz.

here's why

Anyone who can afford a $30 million suit (that's clothing, people--not a lawsuit!) deserves to be dead.

Can't agree with you there; I think he's looking more and more like an evil gerbil all the time.

Someone send him a razor. Everytime I see him, he needs a shave. Teenage girls must find fuzz attractive.

And Kraftwerk, 'Talk' is almost a note for note steal from 'Computer Love'...

Hence why Kraftwerk is credited for the song... ;)

The only decent track on the album was actually written by Kraftwerk?

No wonder the song-writing credits are virtually impossible to read.

I realize this is sacrilage to say, but I think Radiohead became too clever for their own good. I'll buy the next record for sure, but I doubt it'll last any longer in the CD player than "Hail to The Thief". That was bogged down in experimental shit that drove me nuts and made me question the health of my speakers. I'm not saying "go back to The Bends", but do trying writing a few songs next time, okay? :thumb:

though at leat Chris Martin has come out and stated he borrowed the tune from Computer Love.

There`s also more like an Echo & The Bunnymen influence at times than U2.

I did download X & Y.There was no way i was gonna pay for it and line evil Chris Martin`s pockets:evil4:

They just know how to capture the masses attention with the lyrics , melodies and structures unfortunately and thats why they sell millions.Simple as that.Im not saying theyve captured me though.I do quite like them in small doses.But too much and they get depressing.Strange how Joy Division are often thought of as "depressing" but they had more fire, inspiration,coolness and insight then Coldplay will ever have.But Coldplay will continue to sell millions.Thats the world we live in:shrug:

Then there's http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=193490&GT1=6657

Turns out it's a 19th-century telegraphic code known as the Baudot Code, or The International Telegraph Code Number One. And it says "X and Y"...because I suppose "we are shite" wouldn't fit on the cover.

Well, not entirely by Kraftwerk, but yes.

Although I wouldn't call it the "only" decent... not a bad album really, however I get why the original message of this thread said they are repeating "Clocks" all over ;)

Speed of sound is quite good too... but I'm not convinced now, I still prefer the last one.

I'll say it again: if they had released this album three years ago, they would not be what they are today.
