Doesn't that therefore render Viva La Vida as a better collection of music? I don't understand the logic here. As for all this debate on "Swallowed in the Sea", it's funny - whilst I would probably go as far as saying I detest X&Y for all its soppiness, I actually liked "Swallowed In The Sea". Never mind me though, I'm awfully prone to guilty pleasures - I'll even admit to bopping along unashamedly to Rihanna's "Umbrella".

Well, the Tour's nearly over, but I was amazed nobody had made a thread already for this thrilling event. It may have been tarnished by drug cheats in recent years, but I firmly believe that this tells us merely that the cycling drug tests and anti-doping policies are actually working and finding the cheats. In the meantime...come on Cadel Evans!!!

how much longer until this is released? apparently anton corbijn is directing it, if anyone's seen "control", he's an amazing director.

More times than I should have.

Read the entire works of William Wordsworth to her, then take her to the circus, zoo, best-restaurant-in-town and my bedroom (in that order). :P Do you prefer maths or English?

"Yes" has been bypassed a bit in recent Coldplaying criticism and I think it's terrific. "Twisted Logic" is probably my favourite song from X&Y. Doesn't quite reach the epic proportions of some Coldplay tracks, but God, there is certainly some epic-ness to it. And "Green Eyes" - Coldplay at its simplest, most beautiful best.

I could not agree with you more. And I think hiring Brian Eno was the best decision they've ever made - it seems like he gave them a good kick up the guts and took them back to what defined their first two albums - sheer beauty, without superfluous melodrama.
