"I agree with you Professa95.
Then Arcade Fire would sound like Talking Heads, and Yes like the Velvet Underground, LIJ or Strawberry swing like the Beatles and Stone Roses, and Lost! like Adam and the Ants and there is a of lot Peter Gabriel, U2, Jon Jopkins and Eno on the album, and...
Who cares ? Coldplay have their own sound and their own approach. And it's brillant."
This is what Martin is looking for, that people recognize Lovers in Japan like a Coldplay sound., not like at Arcade Fire sound... and the same with 42 (the second part is 100% Radiohead).
Repeat, I like the LP, I like Coldplay, but I think that there are some dangerous details in this album.
