I know the name of the thread seems a bit confused and I myself can't put this on words but I don't know if someone have realized that Coldplay, Keane and Muse seem to be like in the same "Wave" or something like a point of their career where they look very secure of what they do, even changing. I mean:
Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto was very different from their previous works, what doesn't mean BAD, but the opposite, it's good and it's something the band likes to do. They are enjoying this tour more than ever. In no point of this era I have realized that they regret doing anything.
Keane's Strangeland was a little more conservatory than MX, but it's getting a lot of attention, what was always hard for Keane. It was like they were under a shadow and they couldn't let everyone see how talented they are. Their new touring is being a lot successful too.
Muse released their new single some days ago. I was never a big fan of their music, I like one or two, but I just loved Madness. It's very modern and deep. I don't know if I can say this, first because I do now follow their career and second because they already have some "poppy" (it's under "" guys) songs like Undisclosed Desires, but, it looks like their new album, The 2nd Law can be Muse's Mylo Xyloto.
Yeah, it's still confuse, isn't it?
I don't know, I just like how secure they all sound and it's something I like most on bands, when they don't care what will think about their music. They just want to play the music.
(OFF: I don't know also if someone have realized but Keane's "Day Will Come" is very similar to "Don't Let it Break Your Heart" and the Bass of Muse's Madness remembers me of ETIAW. Not accusing anyone of anything. It's just cool like they are alike.)
