If one listens to their first album it has such a innocent indie feeling to it and followed by their stunning Rush Of Blood To The Head filled with songs spurned on by their debut success. Onward to their third offering with a grander feeling, but less emotional songs. Stepping forward with the weight of the world on them their music became more complex. A total full on production with vocals mixed low and so many musical sounds the songs got lost by enormity........After that it was a total was out with things that did not even sound like Coldplay!
They may have salvaged what is left of their image with Ghost Stories.......There is still hope in my opinion.
