I feel like every like that comes out of chris martin these days is retarded. Rush of Blood is way better than this album.

I'm still not a huge fan of Chris Martin's voice (at least the overused falsetto is missing here which is good) but I think this album definitely delivers! Starting from the opening instrumental, Coldplay don't sound tired but really rejuvenated!

There is definitely an Arcade Fire vibe to parts of this album. Primary example: Chinese Sleep Chant.
No wonder B&C loves it.

Do you do anything sober? You go to movies drunk or high (not sure how you choose which film fits with which substance), you listen to music drunk...there's no way you go to Sox games sober because this is Chicago, so, like......maybe for work, you show up sober?

When I watched the live Viva La Vida, it even looked like Arcade Fire performing with the drums up front, etc. I definitely picked up some AF influences even in that song - similar key and singing style, strings, percussion, etc.
btw - the entire album (I think) was added to youtube on 6/4. I think someone will post future leaks up on youtube as well (for U2, etc).
And Lovers In Japan sounds like AF's Keep the Car Running + Tunnels.
they should pay royalties to AF.

I go to work sober, yes. I have been prone to go to work hungover, though. I'm sure we've all done that. Maybe?
But yeah I can't remember the last Sox game I attended that didn't end in me getting rip-roaring drunk.
You had 10 shots of vodka in one sitting?
Yes. Followed by two games of beer pong. (I passed out early and didn't make it to the bar
)

I've gone to work drunk, but that was ages and ages ago. Have shown up hungover, but not in the past few years.

Now imagine AF working with Eno, then they might be able to reign in what annoys me about them and distill the great things about them into some killer tracks. I know its blasphemy in this forum to not worship them but I just find certain things about them horribly grating...but then they try and win me back with awesome tracks like Keep the Car Running, love/hate for sure, but they're not the most amazing thing going as most here seem to agree.

I might be one of the few to agree with you.

THANK YOU KING 
I am just saying that this was the first album that they worked with Eno, and Eno most likely was just getting to know them as musicians and people and what they are interested in. If they stay with Eno the next album should be even better.

this is their "unforgettable fire", the next album might be their "joshus tree". 
You should really consider doing that with bong rips instead of shots

Im expecting a major change in their image after the next one...
that is unless they decide to release a theatrical film.
According to Chris its pretty much already done and to be expected at the end of 2009 'to wrap up this decade'.

is this the new single out by Coldplay, with video and all that, in Charts?
if so, they sound too much like Oasis.

Oasis? No way.
I liked Violet Hill - the single - when it first leaked/came out, but now I think it's one of the weaker songs on the album.
