The band seems to be going down a strange route these days, and I can't say I'm a fan.
Elbow are vastly superior.
Vastly? That's a big understatement.
Like many others, I used to love Coldplay up till A Rush of Blood to the Head. Ever since then they've went downhill. On the other hand, Elbow just keeps improving while reinventing themselves at the same time.
It also doesn't help that Chris Martin, unlike Guy Garvey, isn't a very good live singer. He can't do all the falsetto nor hit the high notes on stage. It's very disappointing.
