snap judgement: coldplay's "violet hill"

band i'm trying to love again: coldplay. after x & y, i sorta hated my brit blokes. i miss the old coldplay of the "parachutes" days. when they looked like this.

i didn't mind ROBTTH, but the increasing popularity of after "x & y" was ridiculous. the album friends was not to stellar even though it sold a bi gillion copies. anyhow, i just heard the latest single from their upcoming album "viva la vida". "violet hill" has possibilities of wooing me back. i can't hate on my once fav band. i guess it's more disappointment of what they have become. not so keen on chris entering the kayne and jay-z front either. i guess guy still isn't tainted and single again.
