I think people put too much merit into genres, as apposed to just listening to music.
I'm also shocked at how slowly people are to accept change.
Right now, I applaud Coldplay for this new move, they certainly haven't made something that has sounded like this before, and transcends the 'Mylo XyloTWO' narrative a lot of people here have been telling.
Despite my favorite CP albums being Parachutes, X and Y, and Ghost Stories, I'm loving that Coldplay refuses to conform, and I am looking forward to December 4th.
New Cage The Elephant album coming on December 18th, so it looks like December is being front loaded with great music.
