I was really looking forward to new Coldplay more pleased I was when they announced to bring out a new song. "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" is not really typical of Coldplay, on the contrary, they have invented entirely new. Especially the lines "I turn the music up, I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song ... " make this song stand out. From 2 minutes or so the song splashes a bit ahead of him, but that does not detract from this masterpiece nonetheless.
Will run up and down again to the radio, I'm sure, and I'm already looking forward to the new album! Full 5 stars.
