First, I must confess that I had to listen to the CD several times before I could make friends with the songs. Nevertheless, a huge litter is the lords of Coldplay with this album succeeded. They heard from many sides "Where's a la Coldplay A Rush of Blood to the Head?" or "Now they drive even on the mainstream track". Firstly: a band has the right to develop themselves, and they have managed wholeheartedly! Certainly, as I said in the first sentence, a repeated hearing has been necessary, but then jumped the spark, and I could not get enough of the album. Suppose they had released an album as AROBTTH or another the previous albums, voices were like "can also make something else?" come up. Secondly: I see nowhere the mainstream track! Ok, Viva la Vida was played on the radio on and off, but otherwise? I have no other song of the record on the radio, so they are automatically Mainstream ?? Certainly not! I hear more "Clocks" as "Viva la Vida" on the radio, then AROBTTH would also be already been mainstream. Conclusion: 5 of 5 Stars!
