One thing that makes me think this isn't Ghost Stories era is Chris's voice. During GS his voice was audibly different, im guessing due to the stress/situation. On this one he sounds as good as ever. Maybe it is a new release of the old song. Either way getting to hear this on my Birthday (6th) after a really tough few months was really nice.

Think you've pretty much nailed it there. "I like all the songs, but I don't really love them" Definitely feels like an album that needed to be made. I've got no qualms with the production, and have to say that I find the ethereal synth haze of this album perfectly suits it. We can't kid ourselves that this would have been Parachutes MKII without it, as the songs just aren't strong enough. they're pretty much all 7 or 8/10 with a few higher ones chucked in. Its a weird one as its a great flowing body of work, more like Viva than MX but it is just missing a few of the 'classic' Coldplay hits. Sorta feels more like an extended EP than an album :\

You could hear even on the Ghost stories film that his speaking voice sounded different. And yeah this album he seems weaker, can really notice it on ASFOS. Also none of the links are working for me, so a tad jealous of you lot at the moment

This 'review' makes me wanna punch NME right in the face.:veryangry2:

i didn't even know anyone used that site still. last time i was on it there was no one! was a few years ago though. though i suppose there's renewed interest cause of noels album. remix sounds good btw. thats coming from a fan who states Noel Gallagher as his religion. lol. :)

Has anyone seen the most recent advert for Claims Direct? does anyone else think the music is slightly too close to LIT for comfort? i'd post a clip of it, but i cant find one anywhere.

.

i sort of agree with chris cos i think its one of the best songs they've ever done. the rockier sound is certainly something nice to throw into their mix of sounds

hopfully the Uk shop has gone cos there improving it so it will be like the US one....... only better!!! :D:D some of those shirts are awsome btw, shame im a boy lol as i really like the YES one and i think the VIVA LA VIDA one looks better in that red/maroon colour. it does look perfect in the picture thou. ill probs end up buying a few anyways, love the VIVA one aswell. nuffin beta than the logo
