Is it Josh Rouse that sounds very much like the Smiths, or the closest anyone has come to sounding like them.  

yes, esp on Winter in the Hamptons which is probably what you;re hearing on the radio [/b]

That's it! Cheers, off to record shop.

hey all that are saying Coldplay are filling fan onl small venues possibly have never ever been to a 50000 Coldplay gig that could stun a herd of wild horses at 500 paces - i have in England and oh dear goodness they are amazing live - none of this 'coldplay are mediorce' rubbish!

[ratioci nation]

coldplay = mediocre
 Ed Harcourt = rubbish
 Josh Rouse = A-OK
 
 maybe I should go back to Big Yawn with a one word review section

keep that kind of contrary behavior up and there'll be no birthday drink for you at the weddoes gig!

the 930 show was fun last time.
 though probably the best show of theirs for me was louisville in march 03 because i had front row dead center tickets (by luck).  watching a show like that is a pretty different experience when there's reserved seating.

While I agree with Mankie and Dodgy that there are many fantastic and exciting bands right now, I also have to say that I just really enjoy Coldplay. I've seen them a few times live and all times have been terrific. And I don't think they are on the decline. Quite the opposite.

i haven't heard anything from the new album myself.  i've enjoyed seeing them live all 4 times and frankly i'd much rather drop $20 or something on a ticket to one of these promo gigs than buy the new album.
 i refuse to pay $70+fees to see coldplay though (it's looking like that's what decent seats to the summer/fall tour are going to cost -- ridiculous)

I don't think Coldplay have declined, but have pretty much stayed the same. I've heard a couple of the new songs and,well, they're Coldplayish.        When the competition was The Stereophonics, Radiohead and Travis, Coldplay sounded pretty good.  Now, with bands like Franz, The Cribs, The Hard-Fi, The Departure, Bloc Party, The Coral, Kaiser Chiefs, Editors (I could go on and on), Coldplay are completley passe. But without a doubt, the new album will sell by the millions.  
 
 Have you heard The Tears album (Here Come The Tears) Kuro?  I wasn't expecting much but it's pretty good.  Much better than most of the Suede albums.

The May 13th gig has been announced and it's at the Avalon in Boston.
