this is when you knew Coldplay wasn't forreal... sucks too, cuz ROBTTH was pretty damn good... it's always a pivotal moment w/ that album right after the HUGE one.. i think Coldplay failed that test and let everyone know they weren't the band many ppl thought they could be.. and i don't even think it's cuz the music on X&Y sucked that bad... it was just a watered down rehash... which imo is a lot worse... if they came out w/ just a shitty album or experimented and failed, i'd be MUCH more willing to give them another shot... but that shit just left a bad taste
