Coldplay's Myl0 Xyloto sort of seems like the album where the "Coldplay isn't THAT bad," outweighs the "Coldplay are the WORST" criticisms. That's okay, I guess. I mean, it's not like they're as dreadful as Kasabian.
Anyway, Coldplay were the big musical get for the finale of the British X Factor (it's like their American Idol, and I guess X Factor), and they came on to do a light show-heavy take of "Charlie Brown," complete with the biggest crowd I've seen for a finale of a TV show that features butchering songs you like. British people really love singing competitions, and Coldplay, clearly. I will never understand them.
