What matters is whether or not it gets through to the subconscious of the world.. Ratings are just opinions - hell, if we believed the critics, the Beatles would have folded up shop and never succeeded, neither would have the original Star Wars movie! What really matters - do you like it??! I do!

Wise words. I admire you

Don't be worried.

In the Observer article they said that it wasn't as instant as the others, I think a grower that is ultimately extremely more rewarding is better than an album full of catchy, stadium fillers this time around. They've done that. It's time to move on.

Plus 8 is good and both the reviews were glowing.

As long as you like it, who cares?

But I dont know if I like it or not yet...
and the reviews not so good... that's what I ment.

The reviews are good. They're very good.

Although the album got a slightly lower mark, both reviews still say it's an excellent album.

There's not long to wait now, but don't worry. To me the songs we've heard so far are different but still very Coldplay. And being a Coldplay fan, I think you'll be fine

Where is everyone reading the Q review. So far, all I have seen in an interview "article". Is there an actual review of the album out?

Found it on another thread. Thanks Mojave! Wish it was a 5 star but 4 is good.
