This won't end well.

What the fuck has Chris Martin done that even comes close to matching that in his first 8 years? Furthermore, what has Chris Martin done that even matches a modern classic like Beautiful Day, a song supposedly written after Bono's peak as a lyricist? Come on. He's not that good. Don't compare the two.
Agreed! Boy thru R&H is good enough to be a band's entire discography IMO!
And let's face it, guys... Coldplay's strength is in melodies, not lyrics!
I don't hear that. I mean, there's a slight resemblance in the riff in PID's chorus, and I suppose they're somewhat stylistically similar, but I don't see where they sound 'an awful lot' alike.
lazarus, why do you insist on posting so many reviews for ammunition? Unlike you, GG never relies on the words of others to validate her opinions.
Glad you agree. Now let's get GG on board.
Did Screwtape just open another can of worms?

They completely stole the riff.
Because she seems to think the multitudes of people who found LIT reminiscent of Streets are crazy, and I was attempting to show that members of the mainstream media didn't agree with her.
I gots plenty of mah own werds.
This debate has been going on about as long as one of $ting's tantric sex sessions.

I feel like I'm exceeding my carbon footprint by adding anything else, but here goes! This album is like a sandwich from a store I was never really fond of before. Only this time, they’ve added a few new things to finally make a sandwich that's worth eating. There are ingredients that are found in other things I like: A bit of Arcade Fire meat, Bunnymen mustard, early U2 atmospheric sesame seeds. The overall impression is that it's tasty, and that it's at least a sincere, heartfelt effort to create something good. I appreciate that. The sandwich maker will probably never have his/her own cooking show, or crack the Sandwich Hall of Fame. We both know this, but it's okay.
Liking said sandwich, and the way it goes down, is a personal choice.
If you stand in front of the sandwich display, and mumble about why you don’t like the one I just bought, I’ll probably think that you need some help.
Because it's power chords? False.
Panic in Detroit is Bm-G-A.
HMTMKMKM is E-D-B-G.
Panic in Detroit's melody is totally different. PID's drums are totally different.

Shall we bother taking a look at Sting's lyric sheet, hmm?
That is an extremely fitting analogy. Unfortunately, I think it's falling on deaf ears...er, dead tastebuds. Oh well. I'm enjoying that sandwich right now. It's not the best sandwich I've ever had, not even by a long shot, but it's certainly not the worst.
The only person I see on there comparable to Bono is Waters. And I prefer Bono's lyrics to Waters' lyrics. Waters' lyrics are too impersonal in most PF albums, IMO.
The Sting comparison is laughable at best.

There you go.
Now you know why I felt the need to counter the claim that Streets and LIT used the same chord progression.
That's a brilliant rhyme.
I'm familiar with The Police AND Sting's solo work. Sting's a very inconsistent lyricist.
I find it hilarious that you've resorted to namecalling, Screwy.
