And I'm loving it. I've said it before if Jonny decides to go in any direction as a guitar player fuck the Edge and take notes from David Gilmour, probably the most amazing thing to happen since bread.

Well its this solo which reminds me the most of any I think, from the song "Time."

Actually I noticed this as soon as the guitar-y/drums part comes in during the middle of the song. It's how I've been persuading my friends who like older music to listen to it.
I think it's a nod to them maybe in a way but I like it better than most of what PF does. No doubt. Plus isn't on that huge conglomeration of songs that influenced Coldplay a big font of Comfortably Numb? And they drew some comparisons on ARBH I remember. But Coldplay is more like other bands than Floyd I'd say.

Pink Floyd came to my mind when I first listened to the opening of this song; I love the cool/jazz effects - off the major keys etc. I mean, yes, there are other bands similar to P.F. , but there is a connection. I love PF lot and I did think before that Coldplay has a psychological edge yet not that "Depressive" or too "cold/outer space". There are more emo. there. Due to Syd's drug and mental issues or not, there is weirdness and "psychdelic" tone embedded always - while Coldplay, most of time, still on "earth" and Happier.
The first two CP albums have more resemblances - cool and chill-out.

When I listened to "Moving to Mars" "Gravity" came to mind. A friend of mine has said that he thinks "Gravity" sounds Pink Floyd-ish, so it would make sense.
I'm not very knowledgeable of Pink Floyd myself.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed this.
When the "guitar solo" came in on MTM, my ears went up like a dog.
I luuuurve this song.

What a great song, really slick but really AROBTTH like, and that's brilliant. I agree with what your saying to about Johnny's guitar solo sounding very David Glimour like. As well as their second album i think that MTM (or at least to me) sounds alot like all their albums blended together. Probably the best thing to come out of this era so far, this and UATW. Christmas Lights, Charlie Brown, Hurts Like Heaven and MM all great though.

It is a bit off-topic. There is an era that I think some of the songs and singing remind me of Jeff Buckley - a more melody oriented, lightful Jeff Buckley~ not for the recent releases though. Coldplay's music never sounds out-of-boundary or crazy, less desperate pain but always a lifting at the end, hopeful. There is a line between feeling connected/cured and throwing yourself off and falling too low. They are eventually positive.

I'm still hoping for my 17 minute Coldplay psychedelic space opera, and if they truly are channeling Pink Floyd....well, we'll see....

Dear Chesse Nip 2,

How is the future? Do they have jet packs? Did gorillas take over the world? Has Car Kids been released yet? If so can you email me a copy from your brain (obviously where data is stored in the future). Well, good luck with those terminators!

Sincerley,
