I’m a late Coldplay bloomer. I got into the band right after the release of their last album X&Y and felt like I was robbed of years of great music. At first I felt like a soccer mom when jumping on to the band-wagon (station wagon), but then realized that: great music goes beyond mini-vans (and station wagons). With today’s release of their newest album, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, I got to experience the excitement of purchasing a new Coldplay album as soon as it hit stores. Having already listened to it three times in the last two hours I can safely say that this is a great record that will spend a lot of time with me on long drives and late nights working. Get on the band-wagon and pick it up.
