Interesting...
The new Coldplay album is really really good. I honestly can't stop listening to it. I don't think I've been this won over with an album since Rilo Kiley came out with More Adventurous last year.
I really had zero expectations for this thing. Every other major release on my radar over the past 6 months or so (U2, NIN, DMB, Weezer, Oasis...jury's still out on The White Stripes) have been, to varying degrees, disappointing. You just begin to lose hope in bands making a commercially appealing and musically acceptable album anymore. Coldplay absolutely nailed it. I honestly don't know why I'm so surprised. All Chris Martin has ever done is make perfect records. This is no exception.
Daily Refill posted the bonus track. Scenestars has the whole thing available to stream. Here's my favorite:
