I'll admit, Coldplay are my favourite band (although I don't really worship the ground they walk on, wouldn't que round the block for gig tickets, camp outside the Bakery, etc.). I've heard this record and I have to say...it's excellent. Parachutes and AROBTTH sound so naive in comparison, X&Y so bloated and unnecessary. Listen with an open mind (forget 'Fix You', Gwyneth, Chris's, often stupid, comments in interviews) and Viva... is more colourful, ambitious, exciting, expansive and intimate than anything they've done. It's not experimental in a Radiohead (who haven't pushed any boundaries since Kid A) way but it does have a markedly different sound to their other stuff.If you only check out one song, listen to '42'. It's crazy and Thom would kill for it.
