So, the new Coldplay is out, is it any good?

Reviews go from five-star review in the Telegraph where the critic praises the usual Coldplay ingredients - "Martin’s golden gift for melody, almost simplistically direct lyrics and emotive crooning"; NME gave it 4 stars (out of five) saying - "the strengths of ‘Everyday Life’ lie in the band’s musical left turns and lyrical experiments"; Guardian writes a lukewarm review - "Chris Martin – never Bob Dylan when it’s come to writing lyrics, in fact barely Noel Gallagher... Martin’s stadium-fillers return, with lyrics that could set the liberal cause back decades". North Americans like the album even less - "fails to justify its own necessity" Variety says, and Exclaim heard "more blunders than hits" on it.
