I was on the freeway the other day and heard that Coldplay song on the radio, Speed of Sound. It’s so weak. Every time I hear it I get the same visceral reaction, like they’re trying to fool us and hope that no one notices that it’s really not very good at all. Ok, I’m no music geek, but to my ear it sounds like one of those left-over tracks that didn’t make the cut on a previous album. I’m not a huge Coldplay fan, but that album that sold a kazillion copies – A Rush of Blood to the Head – had some really nice songs on it, providing background for numerous television commercials.
