New Coldplay CD: “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends”

From LA Times interview with Coldplay’s Chris Martin:

“Like millions of people in the world, I can’t listen to Coldplay,” Martin said with a daft wink. “But my reason is professional. You see, I’m always thinking about the next thing. I’m also always looking for something that will inspire the next thing. Look, we’re the one band we can’t plagiarize. So really there’s no point in me listening to it. If I think, ‘Well, that’s good,’ then I’ll want to use it, which won’t work. And if I think, ‘Hey that’s terrible,’ then I’ll be depressed over breakfast. It’s a classic lose-lose situation.”

Anyone out there have the new Coldplay CD, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends,” who wants to chime in with their opinion? Feel free to comment below!
