Question for people who are reasonably positive on Coldplay
I always though Parachutes was quite an over-rated album but liked "Don't Panic", "Shiver" and "Yellow".
I never massively liked "Rush of Blood to the Head" (the album) but really liked a few songs of it - "The Scientist", "Clocks", "In My Place" and "A Rush of Blood to the Head" (the song).
I didn't have any interest in buying X & Y but really liked "Talk".
I really like "Violet Hill" and "Viva La Vida" (the song). Do I want to buy the album or will I just end up finding I just like a few songs but not the album as a whole?

if you like viva la vida
youll probably like quite a bit of it. i like violet hill but hate viva la vida, but i do like two other songs quite a lot. why dont you download it and see. its not like youll be killing their record sales...
My relationship with the band seems to be exactly like yours,
I've been cautious about Viva La Vida. I did buy it and I've found a couple of the songs are good. Yes, the album does work as a whole but, as a whole, it's not very good (if you get what I mean!) I.e. It's coherant but not outstanding. A few moments are good though. Personally, I like "Strawberry Swing" and "42".
So, in answer to your question after having bought the album, I'd suggest you just bought the songs that initially grab you and ease into it from there... that's what I'm trying to do!!!
interesting,,
see i completely agree with your summation of the album except i really like cemeteries of london and death and all his friends.. so i think there is probably a song on there for everyone really.. id be interested in what other peoples favoured songs are..
You're right,
"Cemetaries of London" is great, it just slipped my mind!
Cemetaries of London
is a complete rip-off of 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' by Chris De Burgh...
Conversely I do quite like the album though.
I would just stick with the tracks you mentioned
Nothing else on there is that amazing
