Honestly, I can't say much. The only thing I don't like is A Sky Full of Stars. I've come to like the song as a single, but it's really out of place on the album (musically). But outside of that, I think this album is wonderful. I love every other track, and I think the production is great. EDIT: I can agree about some of the lyrics being bad. I'll probably have stuff thrown at me, but I've never thought Martin was the best lyricist. So it's not really that much of a big deal for me. I don't like Coldplay for their lyrics. *ducks* That's not to say he can't write some beautiful things. But it's never been the bands strong suit. I've always found the melody/vocal delivery more important than the lyrics.

This is probably their best album since AROBTTH for me.

I've only heard the album once. But I think it's amazing. It has a very coherent sound from beginning to end. Best words I can use are "ethereal" and "haunting". Every track has this mellow fragility to it, and Martin sound so vulnerable.

I'm glad they are putting out an album that puts distance to their past sounds. I feel like Mylo was kind of a re-tread/ a sum of all their previous work, and this is the record to kind of step forward into whats next.

It's okay. I kind of feel like, this is how it's going to be for now on with Coldplay. They have gotten as big as U2 - and shows will be near impossible to see. It's all luck I suppose. That - and well, if you are a scalper. Jesus, like 50 orchestra tickets are up on Tickets Now. What a bummmer

You are lucky! This is my SECOND time trying to see Coldplay this tour, and i wasn't able to get tickets. It really does suck. Each time i try for tickets, i get really bad ones. What a shame, guess I won't be seeing them this tour. :(

So honestly, can' say I am thrilled about these $103 ticket prices. After fees, this is gonna be expensive. This will actually be more Expensive then Bruce Springsteen. Never thought I wuld see the day.

I missed them on the first half of this tour, and I'm dying to finally see them. So glad they are coming back. I don't live in Chula Vista, but it's one of my fav venues to see live shows. Very excited.

Count me in for a PM. :) (when it's done)

I'm so excited, I got picked for the LA show on Tuesday!!! Does anyone know where the seats will be? Not that i care, I actually am just excited to help out. I hear this is a fantastic organization.

Interesting enough, I just found out that I also have an extra ticket I need to sell. I only have ONE ticket (it's hard ticket). My ticket is LOG 31 Row F (5th Row) - I am selling this at face value. When all was said and done, I paid $133 with fees and shipping. BUT, I'll sell it for $125. I can provide a receipt as well, so you know what I paid for it. Just PM me, and we'll work it out.

Cheers! Can't wait to see them live :)

I sure hope not. But there's no way I can start thinking about an LP 5 right now. I am so happy with LP4, need to absorb it all in.

Sorry, but I gave this album a good 20 listens - and I still love it. In fact, I think this is a great direction for the band.

True. But other genres overall are selling more then rap used to. 5 years ago, the rap genre was leading in sales. I guess what I'm trying to say, it sucks that out of all the weeks their album is coming out, Lil Waynes album is coming out a week before.
