With the exception of one or two tracks, Vida La Vida was a massive dissapointment, especially on the back of three awesome records! Let's hope this EP sees a return to form!

I don't care about how cool they are. Their music is great. I can perfectly understand why some people might brand them as boring and all that, but I think they're great. Plus Chris Martin is a very funny man (watch his interview with Ricky Gervais on Ricky's website. If you don't laugh well... you don't laugh. So you're an idiot!)

I think Jimmy Gervais's humour is so annoying and forced. I do however love coldplay and care more about their work than Oasis or U2 (both this october)Why did you guys even bother commenting, you had nothing worth saying.
