The band continues to evolve beautifully. It really frustrates me to read the critical bashing, as it continues with the release of HFOD. I am an older fan who grew up in the golden age of rock, and have been to well over 100 concerts. It's hard for me to find new bands to love since I have seen the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd and so many more, but Coldplay captured me about 10 years ago. Regardless of what I read, they are talented band with a unique chemistry and the arrangement of their songs are wonderful. I saw them during Viva La Vida in NY and MX in Charlotte NC. I got up at 4am last week and scored 6 tix for Wembley Stadium next June and am so looking forward to it. The whole fam damily is going!
