Simply Incredible After three listens, I have to say that the new album is simply incredible. After my so-so reaction to VLV, I am blown away by MX. Any doubts I had all but melted away as soon as I heard the first few minutes...I am an enormous Parachutes and AROBTTH fan, and MX is totally on par with them. For me, MX is AROBTTH for this decade. In fact, I would say that song for song MX might take the cake...Each song holds its own, and many blow my mind the way Politik and the end to Amsterdam did ten years ago... No need to do a track by track review...all of them explode in their own way... Overproduced??? How about perfectly produced!!! They have taken their sound and pushed it to its limit, the way I always wanted them to! Well done, guys...

I suggest you listen to Cemetaries of London as much as you can and when it finally sinks in that this song is in the top three they ever made you will start to see that this album is pound for pound better than X and Y. Now better than AROBTTH, well the jury is still out.

TM is transcendental meditation -- John Lennon and the Beatles started to get into it. A method used to reach inner peace through meditation.

Yes, and then in 2025, "there may be computers--seraching for life on earth"

I have mapped out the next ten years for Coldplay, complete with press releases and album concepts: Present -- 2010 -- Tour off Viva La Vida, improving their image slightly amongst critics and picking up more die hard fans, proving they are capable of surviving changing trends in the music business (along the likes of Elton, U2, the Stones, etc). Release their B-Side to Viva late 2009 as planned just to hold people over till the next album. This B- Side album will complete their contract with EMI. 2010 - 2012 -- The band records "concept" album that is truly experimental. This will be their "SGT Pepper" as VLVDAAHF was their "Rubber Soul". Album will impress critics but disappoint the fans they have picked up since X and Y. The album is released strictly from the internet ala Radiohead. Concept album's central character is an astronaut left on the moon, with no way back to earth. The songs echo his past and his solitude "away from earth, literally and figuratively". Press Release " We were in such a rush to record VLVDAAHF due to the fact that we wanted to make up for X and Y. With this experimental album there was no pressure from a record company or the public and we felt we could finally make the album the four of us wanted, not a "producer" or "fifth" member wanted. 2012 - 2014 -- Tour off experimental album, performing concept album in its entirety followed by a run through of previous hits ala Pink Floyds "The Wall" tour. Huge success followed by Grammy for Album of the Year. Press finally admits Coldplay are bigger than U2. 2015 -- 2016 -- Band records simple acoustic album with Parachutes feel. Press Release "We have rediscovered our roots and feel like College School Boys again, this has truly been the most enjoyable album to record." 2017 -- No tour to back Parachutes like album. Chris and Will begin producing new acts in their off time. Jonny begins to get into classical music. Guy buys a small isalnd off the coast of Spain and gets really into TM. 2018 -- The band decides to go their seperate ways as YouMusic allows normal people in to record MP3 quality records in their own homes. The music scene is turned upside down as it is near impossible for any band to even go platinum since the public is flooded with these garage bands who can make quality records. Just my idea, please feel free to pick it apart of add your own ideas. Justcold

Duffman, I am row 36 on the floor, is this way in the back or in the middle. A little nervous when I hear you once had floor seats but could barely see anything. I have never been to the Jobing.com arena. Thanks.

CCC ROW 36 Got tickets yesterday CCC row 37, I live in El Paso and will be traveling up to Phx, anyone know if these seats are decent or not? Although I am sure I am on the floor, not sure if Row 37 is all the way in the back
