So I've been a fan of Coldplay for a minute. Not on some hardcore "greatest band ever" shyt, but they do have some good songs out, solid tracks overall. That being said, I'm enjoying parts of this album. Released in mid-June, I *think* there was a different producer for this album (maybe one who worked with U2, IIRC?). So, naturally, there are some different sounds on this one, but I can almost pick out other artists where I've heard something similar. Not a bad album by any stretch, but I'm not sure that it's a "must have" either. Two favorite tracks are Cemeteries of London and Violet Hill...both hauntingly beautiful.
