The amount of radio play they got, for me. I was a big fan of How You Remind Me when it came out, and they do have a handful of listenable songs, but the sheer amount of repetition changed things from “they’re ok” to “omg not again, fuck these guys”.
I feel similar, but to a lesser degree, about Coldplay.

Their first album The State is pretty damn good. And they have some decent singles after that.

The State was their first album released on Roadrunner Records and might have been the first internationally released album, could be why you thought that. No worries
