Negative Positive
Title: Not the sum of it's parts
Review: I loved Coldplay's first two albums, but this disappointing offering shows us what happens when a BIG band wants to be too big for it's boots, but falls short by producing contrived and laboured songs, too pretentious for their own good.The only songs I like are, ofcourse, Speed of sound, which is a poor cousin to Clocks (which is one of the greatest songs EVER, I reckon) and that hidden track which sounds like Coldplay the way it used to sound before it produced X and Y. Simple but unforgettable.
Is the review positive or negative?
