Hi everyone! I´m new to this forum and haven´t posted before, but I must say I´m baffled by these comments regarding the new album. In my mind, this album is extremely immediate, I fell in love with it right from the start, not a bad song on it! I had some trouble getting my head around AROBTTH when it was released, didn´t even much care for In My Place at first, but these songs just makes me a gibbering idiot :P at once! My first Coldplay contact was when, half-dozing through MTV´s alternative nation, I discovered Yellow. What a song!!! Since I live in Sweden, I got my sister (who lives in London) to get me the album when it was released. Although I love Parachutes and AROBTTH they have NOTHING on this new album. I´ve been quite anxious these last few months about the new album but, high as my expectations have been, they have been surpassed by far. This album is nothing short of a masterpiece. No, it´s not revolutionary in the sense that Ok Computer was, it feels more like a natural progression, but what a progression. The songwriting, the emotion, the production, my heart just soars listening to these songs. The best one? Talk. It has fierce competion, especially from Square One and White Shadows, but Talk is in a league of its own. Thank you Coldplay, for giving us this!
