I am a sick fan of ColdPlay for like 2 years now, all the previous album’s that came up with some amazingly hit numbers and that are still in my Music player made it clear that ColdPlay was the best experience of music i’ve enjoyed when it came to rock bands. I never listened to any song prior to that over and over again, but the way Coldplay was, it really was a great experience every time i listened to their songs.

Speaking of their new album, frankly speaking i was outta touch of TV and Music that i never knew when did it hit the stores but apparently when i got the word out through Youtube, i was not late to download it. Hearing the album for like 3-4 times i was satisfied at all, atleast i was expecting something amazing from ColdPlay this time. Other than Lost, Violet Hill and Viva La Vida, the entire album is a blend of experimentation (one of my friends say) and i personally think the same cos the eastern touch they gave to there beats, and the excessive use of Piano (that too a de-tuned one in one of the songs - Maajid pointed it out) really made it look weird all in all. I personally rate it 6/10 cos i love Viva la Vida and both the versions of Lost, but other than that the album is just not ColdPlayish.

BTW i;ve seen the videos of Viva La Vida and Violet Hill on Youtube before they were taken down cos of Copyright issues by the EMI on California Court Records so don’t remember much, but there is no use of a good video when the songs are not worth it. ColdPlay disappointed me~!
