A lot of hype about this, but after a couple of listens it still hasn't grabbed me. Anyone here like it? | ||

Blog Entries: 3 My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum. | Not a bad album, not as outstanding as the last two, but good nonetheless. ![]()

My System: Sky HD, Manhattan Plaza ST550 and TM1500 CI+. 1.0m dish and 36v motor, Panasonic DVD HDD recorder and Panasonic video/DVD recorder. Sony G800 HD TV stand/surround system + Sony KDL40W2000. Infinity USB, Elvis, CAS1, CAS2. | I agree Rolf. Some of the words are quite moving and a few of the melodies aren't bad. I think they come across much better in a live performance as per the one on BBC which was very good. | ||

My System: 130cm dish 80cm motorised dish Silvercrest SL65 FTA Internet cafe broadband Lots of FTA channels on most satellites aimed at europe and middle east. ![]() | I love it, mainly for Viva la vida, Strawberry Swing, Violet hill and lovers in Japan. Only problem i have with it is that its rather short... | ||

My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!) | I got it on Friday, and I think it's up there with A Rush of Blood to the Head, I really do. I'll admit it's short, but I think that's the beauty of it - you're not left with any filler or too much wayward experimentation, unlike in X&Y. "Viva la Vida" and "Violet Hill" are the best songs, although I think "Life in Technicolor" is my personally favourite.
