    It's actually nice to see an artist reflect his own music and comment on his work in such an open and direct way, quite a change.

    Seriously tho, I think that Coldplay are way too hard on themselves. I agree that they were getting a bit too comfortable and "Viva" was much needed and appreciated :), but that doesn't mean most of their old songs were rather rubbish as Chris seems to be alluding here.

    I’ve been watching some videos of Coldplay like this small interviews, oh I can’t stop smiling, my muscles hurt haha... he’s just an amazing humble artist that truly conveys a feeling a meaning. It’s wonderful, I remember the first time I saw them live, I couldn’t stop crying. (Before that I used to think "why do people cry when they listen to a band they love live?’... well, I wouldn’t know how to explain that, Coldplay is an energy of joy). Also, I’ve noticed that Chris always talks about "connecting with the audience" and that, I would say, is the seal of the band.

    @backintoyouropenarms I really don't think you should take what he says about the song seriously, it's more a kind of self-ironi thing. Remember, that every song on on all four albums, is wisely picked out, for an example, only 13 songs came on Viva la Vida, even they had made around 30 at the time.
