    The song is brilliant. The video is meh. For a song that strong sounding, they could have done a much better job at this. Remember when music video's were entertaining? At least musicians like Lykke Li understand that.

    Screw Coldplay. After they said that their first album was the worst thing ever and dissed every fan who held that record close to their heart, they deserve no love. And screw Chris Martin. When is he NOT complaining about being adored? Go wank to your own 'introspective misery' you stupid bastards!

    a great one! heard three of their new tracks on lastfm. and they are great and fun, and not boring like a lot of their other songs.

    More upbeat for Coldplay that's for sure. I dig it! Definitly a different direction than X&Y. I LOVED X&Y though

    Videos are stupid. Just play music.

  15. Apple Core says – reply to this


    115

    $5.00 video, .50¢ editing, and same old crap music they did last time that everyone ended up getting sick of in two weeks after hearing it in every elevator on earth. shite.

    I LOOOOOOOVE IT! Although, I liked the video with the dancing politicians a lot… But this is great too! And the song is…. magnificent….

    COLDPLAY FUCKIN ROCKS…..I LOVE THIS SONG…

  24. Teddy says – reply to this


    124

    people need to shut the fuck about "theyve lost their talent, theyve lost their touch". just because YOU dont like it, doesnt mean someone else doesnt love it. I"m sick of hearing about how coldplay or weezer or whoever "now sucks"… theyre just different, and theyre moving on and trying new things. iwouldnt buy an album if it sounded exactly like parachutes or pinkerton because GUESS WHAT i already own them both.

    ewww… sounds like a phil collins ripoff

  29. Tone says – reply to this


    129

    Better than their previous HORSE SHIT. But they are still VERY over rated.

  30. sunnynights says – reply to this

    Drab, Drab, Drab…and Gloomy!

  31. Cat says – reply to this


    131

    Very Pink Floyd

  32. Cassie says – reply to this


    132

    They could have done something so creative for this song…oh, well…Coldplay ceases to amaze me with how they are one of the most medicore-yet-famous bands. (I thought Chris was going to hit his head on that rock at the very end…THAT would have been something…) ;(

  33. Hollis says – reply to this


    133

    Sounds like another Pink Floyd rip-off….like most Coldplay.

  34. kp says – reply to this


    134

    it's good but it's not too original. i guess coldplay isn't super original, but i still really like them.

  35. hiya says – reply to this


    135

    That Sucks. Their last album only had two good songs. Stop trying to be the Beatles / U2 and get back to your basics.

  36. smarty pants says – reply to this


    136

    corny as hell! total douche chills silliness—seems like something really bad and embarrassing video-wise from the early 80s when music stars didn't know any better!!!

    137

    Re: Melanie – We have noticed!!!!!! It's called a tooth brush and tooth paste. It doesn't hurt. personal hyg is a good thing. You ugly ass pale tea sipping boring plain vanilla monty python retards ought to try it. It can't hurt. Ugly gap toothed chipped up yellow teeth whore. you probably think Any Wino has a beautiful set of choppers. Slag

    His vocals were overpowered by the production. The ending was well done. Wish I could have heard more of him. By the way, he does look hot in this video.

  45. dee says – reply to this


    145

    It's Violet Hill (singular) and it's f-ing awesome.

  46. christie says – reply to this


    146

    Absolute perfection. I love that they play it all the time on 98-7 in L.A. I love Death Cab 4 Cutie too!

  47. Serj says – reply to this


    147

    Isnt it called Violet Hill not Hills??? well i didnt like it at all the first few times i heard it but the more i hear it, little by little i like it.

  48. coll says – reply to this


    148

    i think its very obvious that U2 producer worked on coldplays new stuff.

  49. Serj says – reply to this

    Re: Tone – They are not overrated. Yes the video could've been better but that's how it is….live with it….all of you who are cursing and so disappointed….

  50. moon says – reply to this


    150

    I actually like it! Very Velvet Goldmine-y! Sweet song. The lead singer-dude, Gwyneth's husband is clearly a major ego freak though, craves attention like a muthafucker, he's a rockstar though so I guess it's a fait accompli.

  51. anna says – reply to this

    BRILLIANT SONG. BRILLIANT BAND.

    Okay, so this explains where his daughter got her nasty teeth from, but I still don't know how she ended up with the Marty Feldman eyes.

    shroom tastic! … they kind of copied that one famous guy (i forget the guys name but he was some famous rocker druggie) and it was a home video of his first time on shrooms …

  67. jose says – reply to this


    167

    this is a copy of U2's new years day…but without the snow and the horses but same idea….as much as a like coldplay this song and video only proves that U2 are still "the band to beat" and coldplay haven't come close to them yet….maybe next album

  68. panky says – reply to this


    168

    This is actually the first time i have listened to Colplay without it sounding like nails on a blackboard. I LIKE IT!

    Pink Floyd all over!!!! They stole it !!! (The video not the song)

  76. Holly says – reply to this


    176

    Has a little bit of a Todd Rundgren look to it.

  77. harriet says – reply to this


    177

    i'm unimpressed with this song.
    it's not as good as the parachutes album at all.
    i was really looking foward to their comeback…

    i've heard one of the new tracks off the album, i can't remember what it's called but it's fantastic, so i will still be buying the album when it's out.

    the song is hot the video isn't

  82. Richie says – reply to this


    182

    When expectations are as high as they are for Coldplay, they either need to show up in a big way or not bother at all. This video looks like it cost nothing and took an afternoon to shoot. I like the song, but the video is a cheap, meandering mess.

    Next time, they should at least make an effort. Its not like they can't afford it.

  83. vero says – reply to this


    183

    what a wondeful video…thanks for this new track…i absolutely love it…and chris is still the sexiest amn alive…….don t you think????

  84. Anna says – reply to this


    184

    Loving their new stuff! 'Viva la Vida' is a great track too and the bits of 'Lost' that have been played during an interview was brilliant. Can't wait for the album.

    Keep the Coldplay updates coming, Perez!
