Hmm… I miss the old Coldplay but I have to say that this is better than the X&Y album
AvaOntario says – reply to this

23

I like it- perhaps a bit odd, but it reminds me of their earlier stuff, particularly Parachutes.
kim says – reply to this

24

that song fucking sucks. they've truly lost their touch and talent. but im a hopeful girl.
ANDREW says – reply to this

25

This is the best Coldplay song in years. Thank god we will not be forced to listen to it as everyones ring tone (ala that annoying song "clocks").
Heyla 44 says – reply to this

26

I only listened to the first 10 seconds but it sounded like the song from The O.C. California…

At least it's not just a video of Chris Martin walking in various speeds, directions, weather conditions, etc. A welcome change.
cass says – reply to this

32

I like it.. It's got a kind of video art thing going on in it… Very good compared to some of the other shit around…
Roxanne says – reply to this

33

LOVE IT!!! I love coldplay
Cin says – reply to this

34

I think Violet would have made a better name for his daughter than Apple.
AI says – reply to this

35

Uh to the girl who said that she wanted more shit on Britney, PLEASE. We're sick of that.

So about the video… it's a little boring, actually. Unfortunately, it'll probably get more play time than the better ones, amazing video Santogold put out this year for L.E.S. Artistes (thanks for posting that, by the way). P.S. - This single is crap compared to the ones that have come off the other albums. This couldn't have been the best song, or even the most mainstream.

Different from what they use to perform. Apple's dad almost looks hot in this video so I say….well shot!
hp says – reply to this

Great song. Average video.
JC says – reply to this

41

Theyre definitely going for a new sound this album and I find it mesmorizing. As for the video, it goes well with the song.
Shelley says – reply to this

42

Has everyone forgotten where good music comes from??? This track is amazing! I'm glad to see them back in the game. I can't live without my Coldplay. Waiting for tour dates!!!

OMG!!!! Yet ANTOHER U2 ripoff! Is this video a COMPLETE
yawnarama says – reply to this

49

Music destined for landfill. Very very forgettable.
Victoria says – reply to this

50

love coldplay but this song seems redundant. i feel like its a mesh of all their other songs in one.
Saaberchic says – reply to this

51

A complete U2 rippoff/wannbe video except this takes place in a desert setting instead of cold, snow ladden Romania (?) or Germany (?)!!!! OMG the dummer w. his one lone drum???? Larry Mullens Jr. must be barfing right about now!! You suck Coldplay!! You assholes think you're such "artists" when all you are is a bunch musical hacks who have been hanging out w. Madonna and Gwenyth Paltrow too long! LOSERS!!
Jman says – reply to this

52

Lemme guess…..Anton Corbjin directed the video? Very "Joshua Tree" of them, but love it nevertheless. The next single MUST be VIVA LA VIDA, that song is epic!
emily says – reply to this

53

i like their music but the more i think about it, it all sounds exactly the same. i feel like this song really isn't anything new or noteworthy. blehh

stupid song stupid video…….
geoffrey clark says – reply to this

58

video doesn't match the song really - aside from the fact that the song is crap and the video is crap too. So if thats the point than it makes total sense.

Chris Mr. I hate America Martin, stay the hell in Britain and don't take our lovely dollars. Your music is mediocre and so are you, Mr. Hypocrite with your green tree hugging crap who lives in mansions and in apartmehts worth millions of dollars and flys on private jets, go away!!!!!!! Every song of yours sounds the same, you're the new Toto!
juno says – reply to this

82

god, COLDPLAY sucks! go away … they are insufferable and Chris Martin is such a WANKER as the Brits say
Lil'red says – reply to this

83

Mmm…they can do better than just up-close face shots. I liked their outfits though.
jigglypuff says – reply to this

84

*gag* only chris martin could accomplish the feat of making Enya look exciting… This shittebox song sounds like bad solo mccartney at its worst..or bob dylan with aching hemorrhoids.. puke!!!!!!!
Daisy says – reply to this

85

Meh!
Fo Realz says – reply to this

86

Other than the bass line stolen from FLEETWOOD MAC's TUSK, it is completely boring!! This group sucks so badly. It's amazing how far you can stretch out one hit in Britain.
Rat-tooth O'Sullivan says – reply to this

87

Nice teeth on that singer. Reminds me of the pet rat I had as a kid. Someone tell him there are little wooden sticks you can buy to chew on to take those down a bit.
reklaz says – reply to this

88

sounds like Pink Floyd.
Gosh they suck says – reply to this

A dull and derivative song with a dull and derivative video. A+ for consistentcy.

melanie says – reply to this

95

I DON'T HEAR U2 AT ALL IN THIS SONG…I THINK IT'S MORE LIKE A PINK FLOYD RIP OFF! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG NONETHELESS…BRILLIANT ACTUALLY.
stoju says – reply to this

96

i dunno about this one. they ware saying how theyve done sonething soo original and new with this album, but this song is not groundbraking in any way (as we would expect). even the wierd (retarded?) video doesnt make it special. rush of blood is still one of my fav CDs ever tho. hope the new song grows on me.
Melanie says – reply to this

97

our boy chris needs a haircut ! LOL

and for all you ignorant american planks UK people dont automatically go have our teeth 'fixed' we come the way were grown usually !

the song is great the vid is ok the boys are scatty as usual!
Lauren says – reply to this

Re: jigglypuff –

What's wrong with Enya?
If you'd listen to more music like this and less rap "music", maybe you'd have a better appreciation of what true talent is.
Nikki says – reply to this

99

Wow - sometimes all you Coldplay haters just boggle my mind. This song, and video are rockin. Chris looks absolutely amazing and the weird video shots are pretty cool. They're as good as they ever were.
Jill says – reply to this

Sparkle it up, gurl!! Let us see that seXXy shine!!

Still thrilled from Beyonce's intimate behind-the-scenes video, we're ready to DANCE after watching this Single Ladies performance!!

The crowd was WILD for Bey when she made her first stage debut since giving birth to beautiful Blue Ivy. And from the looks of this performance, she gave 'em their money's worth and then some!

But don't even get us started on Halo (below)! She even tributes Whitney Houston with
