Well said Lucinda I agree, how does anyone know what a bands focus is/was...and who's to say if not given the opportunity that anyone wouldnt do the same thing that Coldplay has. Of course they feel pressure to create music, in a quick and timely manor for the record company. They are growing in fame. I mean look what happened to Oasis. Their first few albums were amazing and then they put shite out that should have been buried in the muck. Their loyal fans have stuck by them even when their music wasnt up to par with their first releases. They loved their music for what it was. That is what devout fans of any band does. They appreciate the music for what it is. Coldplay have grown musically and there is no doubt in my mind that no matter what they put out will be good in my book because, as I.Am.Will.Obsessed put it, Chris' voice, the amazing riffs from Jonny and the rhythm and beats from Guy and Will are amazing. I fell in love with coldplay's music because of this and I can't see a time when I wont appreciate their musical talent.
