    To be honest, I think it's a poor effort up until 'Yes' after that i think it's a very good album. The first few songs, '42' springs to mind, are musically boring in my opinion and they're married with crap lyrics. Something which Chris Martin is very good at. Don't want to dampen anyone's fires but I don't think it's as good as Rush of Blood and Parachutes. But that's me, i'm not the biggest fan of Coldplay. I do think some of their songs are crap, some of their lyrics are pathetic and they're just a bit one dimensional. But I do like 'Yes', 'Viva La Vida', 'Violet Hill' and 'Death And All His Friends'. But the first half of the album is very uninteresting.

    Now the question is, as I've got a near pefect version of the album, do I keep it seen as though I don't particularly want to buy it?


    I think I'll borrow it off someone who buys it...




    I took 2 more listens to the album last night, and I think I disagree 100%! I personally love the whole thing so far. I think the songs have a really unique new sound, I love the (for lack of a better term) harpsachordy sound and the loose, rough drum beats. I wish "Life in Technicolor" had lyrics, but oh well. Personally, I love the new album and can't wait to buy a copy on Tuesday.

  3. Anyone know a place where I can download good quality versions of Coldplay's recent live performances? I'm mostly interested in Viva La Vida...the one from Amsterdam and the one from the music video awards.

  6. thanks mate...tho I meant the videos of the shows...any ideas? (I can't find my way around that coldplay forum!)
  7. funny.... I'm not the only one who gets wiped after singing Viva la Vida. Notice how in the end his voice seems tired from the Amsterdam vid.

    Imagine if Bono sang this...

    Yeah, uh ripped youtube videos aren't exactly high-quality lol. Oh crap, we're off-topic. Come on, Policeman! You should know better! (actually I should know better, as well)
