Title: Uninspired background music
Review: I have to agree that this is a disappointing CD. It's not even that it's bad, just unoriginal & derivative- there's not a note or idea on this album that hasn't been done better by someone else. This is the first one I've ever heard by Coldplay, so I can't compare it to their previous discs, but I bought it mostly because I'd heard Clocks and liked the sound. Typically the singles tend to be my least favorites on a disc; usually the singles are the most accessible and "catchy" sonds on a disc, while the meatier stuff doesn't get the airplay. For me this disc was like going to a comedy only to find out that every funny moment was in the trailer, and the rest is just filler.This isn't a terrible album by any means- quite the contrary, I guess given the sad state of music nowadays, this is probably actually above average. If you get a good deal on it, it may be worth buying for the two or three really good songs. Otherwise, pass on this one.I give it two stars.
