cold hot lukewarm

bubbles are meant to burst when they become too big. coldplay 2005 was such a bubble. the whole world expected a life changing album, redefining alternative pop. and then, "x&y" turned out to be just good music, causing bad critics being far beyond objective analysis. i agree with the opinion that coldplay's third record is not their best, but still it contains some wonderful songs (remember an amazing "fix you", currently to be found in my deezer player). now, the brits are about to release a new album, entitled "viva la vida or death and all his friends" (available at 13 june). following a recent trend, they give away one song, which is surprisingly their first single "violet hill". being for free download at their homepage. not blowing my head off, but nevertheless making me look forward.
