Pop and minimalism are two completely different categories. You can be minimalistic and pop. The last song on the album is precisely that.
Like a lot of Coldplay songs.

You're entitled to your opinion. I won't be the first person to say that In Absentia is the most prog thing you will ever hear. It isn't. There's no objective way to continue this discussion, so I won't.

No. In fact, I didn't really write reviews for the longest time. I do now, but I go in spurts. I'm done writing reviews for now though... I'm actually not wanting to listen to any music right now either. What's wrong with me?

Would you say "Collapse the Light Into Earth" sounds like Coldplay?

NO!!!!  |
Too bad. Because I'm getting ready to say just that in my review.
|
Have fun being wrong then!

Dude, it's the same piano chords repeated over six minutes, strings, and falsetto vocal work. I don't see how I'm wrong.

There's a difference between pop and minimalism. If you want proof of that, try some Krautrock.

"Clocks" is a more complex song, for God's sake.

Oh, okay. Good luck! I would explode with nervousness if I waited that long though.

Sock in Russian? Hell if I know.

Just because I'm a talking sock, it doesn't mean I can speak many languages.

I would bet my nads that sentence has never been uttered in the history of the world. Ever.
