Title: Sounds Like a Budweiser Commercial
Review: This CD is boring. Not bad, just boring. It has all the musical adventurism of a beer commercial. A well-produced beer commercial, granted, But still, a CD that sounds like an hour of test-tunes for Budweiser's next Superbowl spot hardly merits the raves that have been showered on its head.I wanted to give "Rush of Blood" a chance, even though I'd found "Parachutes" uninspiring. So I brought it home, put it into shuffle-rotation with Radiohead and the Libertines, and let it spin.Folks, I cringed whenever Coldplay came up. I was reminded of nothing so much as the bloated pop epitomized by U2 and Sting.Download a song or two if you need a fix. But save your real money for music that you'll care about in two years. Beer commercials don't age well.
