Criticism

"It is what Coldplay the overwhelmingly negative connotations habit of the stadium ( pop) rock band has introduced and fans from " Parachutes "times may no longer responds. It is certain, " Mylo Xyloto " the weakest Coldplay album, but with reference to the opener, "Major minus ", " Charlie Brown" and even " Princess of China" just too long no down appearance. The duet with Rihanna you may like to condemn, but when she starts in the Stade de France, " I could have been a princess" to sing the supplied Synthfläche shoots directly into the marrow. "

" No matter what one may think of the band and their pop songs - in a full stadium can the magic of ballads, the well- orchestrated light show and the sentiment hardly escape. Coldplay are masters of the stage show. This is expensive and dramatically perfect. "

"The sound is brilliant, the pictures are beautiful. The hits are all here with. In " In My Place " confetti like tinsel trickles through the air. In " Paradise " the audience glows more beautifully than any Christmas tree. But everything seems a little too perfect. As Christmas without surprises, mass appeal and pure. Since this band was in its infancy but already musically times much further. "
