Chris Martin and Co's fifth album and the last one i bought...
fourteen tracks on here,several instrumental pieces as part of it...mostly to interlink the main songs...
these guys,IMO, have lost the plot!.
gone are the intelligent cryptic meaning songs that litter their first three albums, and a further downward spiral from their self absorbed fourth album "viva la vida"...
they lost credibility stright away with this one for me when they obviously felt the need to release that annoying single "paradise" with its stupidly annoyingly "para-para-paradise" repeatative hook...
they then lost me even further by including a duet track on this one with Rihanna...
these guys came from nowhere to being a great band with their simplistic debut,through their next two albums, but somewhere along the line since then i think they started believing the reviews that they were the 'greatest band' in the world and started recording/releasing overblown,self induldgent pompus pop-pap!
this album is a piece of crap, if anyone wants to buy a coldplay album i firmly suggest they only buy their first three albums!
