Listened to it about 4-5 times now and I think its pretty good.

I had fairly low expectations (Speed of Sound is boring), but its not bad. Not great, but its Coldplay doing what they do best.

Fix You, Square One, The Hardest Part, Swallowed in the Sea and Talk are all really good. Couple of average songs (What if, White Shadows, Twisted Logic) but overall I think its good.

Will reserve judgement til I've heard it more and I'm sure after over-exposure it will begin to piss me off, but at face value I like it. So there.

Let the piss-taking commence.

I can't be arsed to give them time really. Never liked em I'm afriad, not even in the "good old days" when they were just another shit indie band supporting the charlatans.

A very reasoned response John

Feel free to refer to them as Shitplay or whatever, I won't be offended.
