    1. Wow, not even ten zeros. That is impressive.

      But Holiday as one of them whaaaaaaa D:

    2. I'm a little more forgiving for songs from the 2000s, mostly because I did grow up with them, or I just don't remember/don't care about the.

      I hate it when any form of entertainment crosses blades with politics in almost any way, shape or form. I can forgive American Idiot, I am way less forgiving of Holiday though. Especially since it's sometimes lumped in BOBD as a prelude, which I don't want to hear.

    3. “I hate it when any form of entertainment crosses blades with politics in almost any way, shape or form.“

      That seems pretty damn unfair in my book, dude. Like, I can understand if the song’s message is rancid or if it has a good message but poor execution, but to say that music being political = bad is pretty myopic imo.

    4. Why is Speed of Sound a 1?

  2. Umm... where's the score out of 500? Sorry if I'm being an idiot, but I can't find it.

    1. It doesn't hit me as hard as some of my favorite Coldplay songs, like Shiver, Yellow, Talk, Violet Hill, and The Scientist. Speed of Sound is still good, but I don't think it's quite them at their best.

    2. Thanks for replying! Personally it's one of my favourite songs from them, but I can understand.
