For me as a fan of the first hour is "Ghost Stories" is an album that his predecessors 5 (and also to numerous other publications) in no way inferior. Just a wonderful plate when it's fun while listening to from the beginning to sink into the music. As you would expect from Coldplay, no album is like the other and at the latest after the first album trilogy and the release of "Viva la Vida" 2008 will diligently experimenting with new sounds and influences, waiting again a surprise with many new ideas and styles of music on the handset, the musical learning curve is finally one of the greatest strengths of the band (only small flaw: A Sky Full of Stars). Since you can only now looking forward to the next album, the so rumored already to come sooner than it usually takes between two albums with Coldplay.
Any reviews containing one or two stars are incomprehensible to me, sounds to me after the typical biased Coldplay criticisms that you have every now and then endured since the beginning of the band's history.
