The same applies to Viva la Vida, only the artist they're trying to mimic this time is U2. For what's its worth, they're good at what they do, but what they do is get rich on other people's sound. I go for artists who strive for originality, not for picking up where other bands left off. That's just bad form.
Isn't saying Coldplay ripped of U2 a bit like saying Daniel Craig ripped off Roger Moore?
