Album of the year! Hands down. The album is perfect! I'm not kidding. Nine out of the ten tracks are truly amazing (just because Life In Technicolor is instrumental-only).
I think liking Coldplay is something you do as you age. I'll admit, when I was younger, I thought they were BORING AS ****. Now, I go back and listen to all their older singles and then this album, and I'm hooked!
