    is the song any good?

    or is it just more of Chris Martin playing too much piano?

    I think it's a great song. Lyrically is leaves a lot to be desired, but the music is fantastic.

    i don't like it.

    i hate how Coldplay turned into the "Chris Martin and his piano" band.

    Their first album, where the guitar player and the rest of the band were allowed to do something, far kicks the ass of the other albums combined.

    Maybe we're not hearing the same thing. I hear a lot of everything else besides the piano.

    The song is "meh", but what is with that cover art?:eek:
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Never been much of a Coldplay fan, but this is actually pretty good. Kind of reminds me of Pink Floyd.......

    if violet hill was the first coldplay song anyone had ever heard, people would be calling them the next big thing.

    lame and boring would not be in your vocabulary.

    Click the free option. You'll have a timer pop up. Have the timer expires you're ready to download.

    Wow..don't like it at all..I've alway stuck up for Coldplay, but that song is a disaster. Sounds a lot like that old Phil Collins song, can't remember the name of it. Coldplay are at their best when they have simple arrangements..they are trying way to hard now. Sucks.

    thanks, i'll grab it later.

    It should say something like 0.8, then it goes to 0.6 etc near the top of the page after you have clicked on the free download part

    I think they put the timer in at busy times, cause it seems to be missing at the moment. You should be able to click on any of the 'Download via level 3 etc' links and then just hit download - just for future reference.

    I've quite liked Coldplay until their last album, when they decided to go epic Prog Space rock on us. Far too many wooshy synth sounds. Meh.

    This isn't the worst thing I've ever heard but it's a bit Pink Floyd meets Oasis.
