My favourite album of Theirs :)

Great: 0.00-41.00 !

 

Btw, its really annoying to read that Coldplay has become to poppy. We got with CB,UATW,UFO and Up with the Birds some really classic Coldplay-songs where nothing is to poppy or sth like that ! That are 4 out of 11 full songs and i think this album delivers definitely something for everybody, just like AROBTTH did for example(and of course, also AROBTTH has weak songs too)

We still have emotional and straight forward moments, so to me it is 100 % Coldplay. Princess of China is very experimental (i like it),yeah..but no one is saying that they will continue in that direction, i am sure they wont.
