Okay, I love Coldplay, but......that's giving them a little too much credit.
I haven't heard anything better...unless U2 release their album before Sept 30.....

Right, but Viva La Vida isn't that critically acclaimed.

London - Coldplay is planning to rush release its new album.
Hot on the heels of June's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, the band has reportedly already recorded the majority of its follow-up and plan to have it ready early next year.
"The Viva La Vida sessions were incredibly fruitful. They gelled brilliantly with producer Brian Eno and recorded much more music than they could fit on one album," a source at the band's record label, EMI, told Britain's The Sun newspaper.
"The majority of the follow-up is already in the can, though they will have to go back into the studio at some point to add a few more songs."
Lead singer Chris Martin recently let slip the group is hoping to release a collaboration with pop singer Kylie Minogue next year.
"It will be on a record we will put out in 2009, some time next year. The album will neatly wrap up things for the end of the decade, then, I don't know what we'll do," he revealed.
If Coldplay releases another album and follows it with a greatest hits compilation it is believed the group will have fulfilled its contractual obligations to EMI and would be free agents.
The band could then follow in the footsteps of artists such as Sir Paul McCartney and Radiohead - who have left the label after a takeover last year.
"Standard industry contracts tend to be for six albums, so if they provide some kind of compilation after their next album they will be free agents and able to renegotiate their contract or head out on their own," a source revealed.

EMI already denied the Contreact speculation but I wonder about a new album...

Funny, I read exactly the same news after the X&Y release. The sessions were that good that the new album was ready blabla.

Another analogy to U2?
I remember Chris talking about the possibility to release an EP next year, though. So I guess that has been blown up to a new album, then a few guesses after Macca and Radiohead left EMI and we have a story.
