From what I've been learning. Coldplay's record label is doing very poorly (had a rough first quater) and they are riding on this record to suceed. Hence the all out assult on how great they are? A friend of mine has heard the record. He says it's very much like the second album only with strings. He says the lyrics are not very strong. Rolling Stone gave it 3 atars and EW gave it a B.
I'm going to wait for a used or promo copy at the second-hand shop!
