I disagree with this, but if you're going to say that, then you have to give U2 credit for their first two albums this decade. I mean, City of Blinding Lights is only slightly more original than Coldplay's music (it's clear that Coldplay take tremendous influence from them, but U2's last three albums certainly haven't broken any new ground musically), and slightly better than anything they did.
