i'm disappointed. I think this album had a chance of being great. A lot of the songs have a great sound, but the lyrics are sub par for Coldplay, and at times silly. I like their old sound better. It seems like they want over the top in trying to sound "darker". I'm glad most people here like it but I just found 42's lyrics to be silly. This is my least favorite Coldplay album. I know a lot of people here were dissapointed with X & Y, but I loved it. Here's how I'd rate their 4 albums. Heres how i'd rate the 4 albums. Parachutes- 9/10 A Rush Of Blood To The Head- 9.25/10 X & Y- 9.25/10 Viva La Vida- 6.5/10 Hopefully a couple more listens to Viva La Vida will change my mind.

I don't get all the hype over 42. I can't stand it for some reason. The music is okay, but I don't like the lyrics. "Those who are dead, are not dead, they're just living in my head." I don't know why, but that just sounds stupid to me. 42 is my least favorite song on the album.

i just listened to this all the way through, so i figured i'd rate each song on a scale of 1 to 10. 1. Life In Technicolor- 9/10 2. Cemeteries Of London- 9/10 3. Lost- 8/10 4. 42- 6/10 5. Lovers In Japan- 7/10 6. Yes- 7/10 7. Viva La Vida- 8/10 8. Violet Hill- 8/10 9. Strawberry Swing- 7/10 10. Death And All His Friends- 8/10

42 might be my least favorite song on the album. i don't like the lyrics.
