Well, good evening everybody, greetings from France..
As far as I'm concerned, I though that SPEED OF SOUND was a very weak & boring song... while X&Y has appeared to be one the most brillant album of the last decade..
So Violet Hill being kinda boring, makes me feel pretty confident about VIVA LA VIDA É VIVA LA REVOLUTION AND DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS :o)
Have you ever noticed that " BIG BANDS " release " poor " first single? So when the album is out, they release THE BIG ONE to promote it.. (which is gonna be weeks from now)
Exemple :
Roll With It for Oasis MORNING GLORY
Speed Of Sound for X&Y
in My Place for A Rush of Blood to the Head (In My Place is far to be as good as The Scientist of Clocks)
