Funny you should say that, Al. I've listened to little else since it's release. Obviously.
Every Coldplay album is very different. But they're also all the same in the sense that I've never liked any of them straight away. They've all taken time to grown on me. No more so than the first 2 or 3 albums as back then I was like all you unfortunate non-believers. I hated them!
When I had my first listen of this album I thought "One, maybe two good songs at a push." But now I'd say there's only one song ("Fun") that isn't excellent. It's generally a bit more upbeat (although I think it's a misconception that they're depressing) so all in all I'm really liking it and needless to say I've secured my tickets for the gig at Hampden next summer.
