Not bad. Maybe not as good as Fix you/Yellow gang but still it's a Coldplay trademark sound. With moore distorted guitar effects.

If u're really a Coldplay fan, u wouldnt say its a sucky song. Yes Fix U is great and whatever, but u cant expect them to do another Fix U, rite? For me, its an ok song. Still a Coldplay trademark song.

And my fav Coldplay song will be "Shiver". Familiar? No? Hehe.

No, no, no.
Dont put Coldplay beside OneRepublic's name. Very different league.
Its offensive for britrock fans. Hehe.

There are similarity yes, specially One's Stop&Stare. But maybe in guitar riffs etc.

If u want comparison for Coldplay, maybe Radiohead and bits of Travis.
For OneRep, The Fray.

Its not about competition lah kawan. Its more of the genre itself.
So many britrock wannabes from US nowadays but I'm not saying OneRep is one of them.
Like I said, OneRep has its own concept. Similar to TheFray which is also from US.
If u listen to OneRep's album and Coldplay's albums, u'll know what I mean lah.

Viva La Viva is very different from Coldplay's previous album. Its like an experimental.
