For the sake of avoiding getting this review tagged as unhelpful, my comments are geared specifically towards "audiophile"-types who are very concerned with the quality of sound reproduction. If that isn't your thing, feel free to ignore my comments.I really enjoy Coldplay, but the sound quality here is unforgivable. I couldn't bring myself to listen to much of it on my high-end system. For Coldplay fans who are also audio freaks, this album is not for you.
