I wasn't expecting anything out of the new Coldplay album but this 1st single is indeed not bad! Perhaps the album will be good afterall.
And I had never liked TPC before but this full-length is quite good.

That CUt Copy album is fantastic! Pair it up with M83's latest. Sounds great together!

the songs on M83's new album with male vocals are good, but i can't take the ones with the female lead vocalist!
