Coldplay just dropped an amazing cd—eclectic to the max. Filled with every genre imaginable. This is a rich and exciting release. The fifth track Daddy will wipe you out with its simple brilliance. The brass section rocks on Arabesque. When I Need A Friend and Broken have stirring gospel spiritual gallops. Orphans has a Paul Simon world music hook with a whiff of reggae. Cry Cry Cry could pass for state-of-the art r&b. The instrumental pieces are magnificent. This CD is a life affirming gem.
