There are bands that are shit, then there are bands that some people say are shit but are actually amazing.
British rockers Coldplay are one of the flag bearers for the latter bracket.
Why? Is it a classic case of tall poppy syndrome? Is it because Chris Martin named his kid after a piece of fruit? Is it because your Mum owns a copy of Parachutes? Or is it because it was all yellow…?
Whatever the case may be, let’s leave the baggage at the door, and the hating to Pitchfork.
The guys are back with a new record which will drop later this year and have just unleashed the first single called ‘Magic’… and it is exactly that.
The new album isn’t due until May 19 but you can already pre-order it on the ol’ iTunes HERE
