It's really good.
I've read all this press about them shaking things up and it's made me a bit nervous. I should of known better than to question them.

    i was looking forward to their new stuff and they really delivered with that single. I'm pumped for the new album, they're one of my favorite bands.

    its called "lost atrium"
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");

    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);

    Not to trash them or anything, but I tried listening on Myspace and couldn't make it all the way through. It seemed good until it hit the chorus and then I realized it used almost the exact same melody as another of their songs and I found my interest die almost instantly. I was hoping there was something redeemable after X&Y (I'm sort of a closet Coldplay fan, at least for the first two albums. Shh, don't tell anyone.), but this doesn't do it. I'll give any other songs that pop up a chance, though.
    I discovered the secret of life, but forgot to write it down.

    I dont know if you would call it a solo or just a bridge but whatever it is; is groovy as hell. I like Martin singing in a lower register.

    I would agree that if Coldplay has a weakness it would be regurgitating vocal melodies. The X&Y album really grew on me despite that though.

    Loving Violet Hill.....


    Hoping the new album is far better than X&Y which was a huge let down for me after the genius of Rush Of Blood To The Head.....
