But I always wonder why on earth there is so much publicity for a new Coldplay record. I know they didn't do much for a few years but even then you could read about them everywhere. I don't think they're very special, do you?
Well, like it or not, Coldplay are pretty huge. In a similar way to the likes of U2, they seem able to appeal to the masses whilst retaining credibility. And they always win album of the year. :P I guess its difficult to say quite why their music is so popular over some other bands... I think it's 'cos they just write really good hooks that grab people's attention. |

| I really like it and i'm seeing them in july which will be my first time. I love Viva La Vida and Stawberry Swing and Death and all his friends. And Lovers In Japan, Reign on me is beginging to bite at me. |

It gets better every listen, it really does. This is the third album I've got this year which I love to bits, and it's my favourite so far.
Had any other music geeks noticed that Death is in 7/8 time at the climax bit? It shows how it's all a bit different, but brilliant with it. |

I didn't know it was 7/8 but yeah, recognised the slightly odd rhythm straight away. I like things like that 'cos it makes you stop and think a bit in order to work it out, before you can sing along without going wrong. :P |

| I've always liked Coldplay, and this album is as good as the rest - I like the way bands change and evolve their style and present us with new and exciting variations. Music, like language, has to evolve and move on otherwise we would all get really bored. |
