Coldplay Release Tracklisting, I release optimism

Hear me out: I was the first to call ZZZ on X&Y, it was a snoozer. That doesn't change how good Coldplay was before that record. Yes, I said it, Coldplay was a great band pre-X&Y, and anyone who tells you differently loves hating, hates pop music, or both. Anyone who can look you in the eye and tell you songs like Green Eyes, Whisper, & Amsterdam, or Spies, Sparks, & Don't Panic are "boring" or "over-polished" or anything else is a liar.

This is why I am optimistic for Viva La Vida (or Death & All His Friends):

A.) They got bored of themselves. They realized they were too lazy on X&Y and brought in Brian Eno to produce this one (almost always a good move).

B.) Song titles like Cemeteries of London & Lost! (I sure hope it's about that Lost) just sound promising.

C.) The Sufjan-esque extended title makes me hope & think that just maybe things lean more towards Can or Talk Talk than Oasis.

So that's that! I just lost half of you, but that's just silly. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this will make look X&Y look like the most daring and beautiful piece of music ever created, but I sure hope not.
