- More clunking, overrated music from Coldplay. Coldplay now own the space known as ’dad rock’...
3 years away has led to no creative spark. Coldplay have lost their musical muse. Not that they ever had one in the first place.
Brian Eno is trying to utilise U2 sound techniques on this single. It has failed to deliver because Chris Martin’s voice is drowned out by the wall of sound...

- Listening to it now, sounds like Oasis! Is that good or bad?

- I CAN’T GET IT TO WORK? IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THAT PROBLEM.

- I’ve always had a bit of a Guilty Pleasures spot for Coldplay but this is very dull.

- Good to see they are changing things around a bit.
I think its great... Can’t wait for the album
