May 23, 200818 yr Author Hmm... I don't really feel like that review said much of anything. that's right - but at least is something to read until the album is released!
May 23, 200818 yr Good Review.. I am still waiting till June 17th to hear the album... you never know I might get to go !
May 23, 200818 yr If the album 'lands on a desk' at The Sun you can expect a leak fairly soon I think I love you.:)
May 24, 200818 yr Is the reviewer been sarcastic when he says 'an album by some band I had never heard of'....? no, he is being serious, he is saying that the album was sent to the sun under an codename, to prevent somebody stealing it before it got to the offices at the sun. so for example, the CD case might have said "Bollocks face" - but was indeed "Coldplay" you get me?
May 24, 200818 yr Honestly? Terrible review, 90% of it consisted of telling us exactly who Coldplay are and what they've done so far. Now I realize not everyone is as Coldplay-crazy as us out there, but I think most people have a general idea about that. The review also didn't go in-depth at all, it just said "ohhh I like this song, and that one's good too - conclusion: best album ever lolz!" It didn't feel like a review, more like a first listen or small preview. Didn't stop me from getting excited about the album though, but almost every article we've read so far (NME, Q...) was better.

May 24, 200818 yr Is it possible that they'll play some of the new songs like "42" or "Cementaries of London" on the 6th of June? The Australian interview said they were playing them then.

May 27, 200818 yr First Review of New Coldplay Album Is As Overblown As Most Coldplay Songs According to The Sun's Gordon Smart, the world's first critic to review Coldplay's upcoming Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends, the record is "the biggest album of the year — possibly the decade." Also, Chris Martin & Co. have "pushed the boundaries of what we expect from an album" and created something "as heavy-going as the Bible but ultimately as rewarding." Additionally, the new Coldplay album will cure cancer, solve the energy crisis, and bring 2Pac back to life. Viva La Vida can beat a computer at chess. The simple act of playing it once on your home stereo will increase the value of your property by $100,000, regardless of the quality of nearby public schools or overall trends in the real-estate market. Upon hearing its glorious first tones, all the world's terrorists will lay down their arms and take up baking, channeling their anti-Americanism into the most delicious cookies you've ever tasted. And if we all listen to the new Coldplay album, close our eyes, and wish hard enough, there will be peace on earth, no more hunger, and Gordon Smart will never again be allowed to review another CD as long as we all shall live. http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2008/05/first_review_of_new_coldplay_a.html
May 27, 200818 yr Like I posted in that other thread (merge?): That's kinda sad. Such an article... I mean... you know... why would you write it. Why waste the time?
