Mmmmm...I really enjoyed Coldplay's debut it was charming and innocent and could be enjoyed on that level.
However the second one seemed like an attempt to pull off something that was flawed in conception and execution.
It really did seem to be trying (some of the lyrics are awful)to be full of life experience moments but merely sounding like a young man's angst.It had it's moments but they really do seem like Diet-Radiohead.
In comparison to a record like The Bends or even OK Computer they are nowhere.
I do look forward to the new one and you can dress it up how you like but Chris Martin has issues (ego,fame,hair etc.),sure we all do but we don't all front a band whose record just sold 11 million and insists in talking to the press and making some er..interesting statements.
It'll be interesting to see if the new in June is worth the time and effort they've put in.The NME in the UK yesterday gave it 9 out of 10 in their review but it didn't read like that interesting a record.....time will tell
