I don't mind the album, yeah, its not as good as the older Coldplay, but we still have those CDs, and music. I was not a fan of Coldplay until, two years ago? I did not get to celebrate the Viva era, for I had no clue about it. My town really plays Country all day and night and I am one of the few Coldplayers in my town and school. But I was shown the album, and don't really mind it, as I stated earlier, but I hope they throw together some old fashion Coldplay style music soon.
