It is very hard to move one's career forward when you cannot attain what made you great in the first place. Living up to the expectations of your previous albums is a daunting task for any band much less Coldplay, but because they already gave us their Rush Of Blood To The Head album I see a long awkward trip back to the top of the mountain for them. Plainly it is not here. You can sing songs as sweetly as you can. You can play music to the absolute best of your ability, but if the product does not send shivers up one's back it is all for naught.
