no the colour and the shape was the best of them,the others had highlights and low points,its just a case of getting the best out of them. same with green day i have liked them for 13 years and everybody here has jumped on the bandwagon since american idiot,but they dont really get green day at all,for me their best album was insomniac.
as for coldplay the first two albums were good but the new one is just a fcuking re-mix of the last one,speed of sound is just clocks part2 and fix you is the scientist part2,very disapointing
