Chances are if your reading this, you have heard your fair share of coldplay songs. Your expecting sly overdriven guitar riffs, lots of atmosphere, gratuitous falsetto, crowd catering, and hooks. If you said yes to the above, you wont be disappointed in the least. You will get easy to sing lyrics with the depth, and the 'wtf?' factor of 'viva la vida' with phrases like "When they smash my heart into smithereens / Ill be a bright red rose combusting the concrete". I noticed a twist of time signature in the intro a la 'glass of water', fitting snuggly with the words and not unnecessary to the track as a whole.
When you get Coldplay, you get fun. You get something you can turn up in your house or car and sing along with (unless your afraid of being beat up by metalheads). Jonny Buckland knows how to dole out those guitar phrases that seem to be exactly what the song needs. Not overplayed, but rather simple and just right. A noise your not likely to hear since earlier albums is the rare acoustic guitar seemingly abandoned in X&Y and Viva/Death, but back in full swing with the new tracks you can hear across youtube.
"All the boys / All the girls / All the madness that occurs". Experiences ring true in this track as much as any other coldplay song. Almost like an inside joke or viewing a clip of a movie with no context. Lets hope the Full LP gives this nice track its proper placement and context into the album as a whole.
