I don’t listen to them much on my ipod/iphone but I always really enjoy the live shows that are shown on TV. Really good live band and I like their anthems, they certainly get the crowd going and it all seems to be good fun, what’s not to like

Oh, but I want it now!
backdated would be best
I only found out Eno worked with them, and U2, he's gone right down in my estimation.

Not my cup of tea and no big deal. There is little money to be made in releasing new albums and all the money is in touring. Accordingly, they have a big enough back catalogue to just do the odd greatest hits tour.

This could be para-para-paradise.
Chris Martin has, of course, been saying s*** like this for at least a decade now - which is why uber-troll Crodonilson mentioned it on here.

We had this exact conversation in the office yesterday . . . . out my end of the scale we make our money back on recording an album if we're lucky . . . the fact someone in the band decided to give our music away via spotify means I have several hundred LP's in storage unsold and we do not make our money back . . . especially with no gigs to sell anything at. I have no interest in financing another album, its just a vanity project.
The likes of spotify are stifling creativity and killing music.
It's still a paying hobby in covers bands, or self funding at worst, but forget it being original.

^ there is never any excuse for using 'office' when 'orifice' can be substituted in its place.
Personally I've never minded a slice of 'The Play' and I'm a total music snob. I'm possibly just too thick to realise how crap they are in reality.

CP, like U2 and a few others hit the nail on the head once and stuck to a winning formula, ad nauseum. (IMHO) For the love of cash.
THere are good examples of musicians who hit a formula, cashed in then used the lifelong funding to do what they love regardless of whether its commercially succesful. Anyone creative gets bored after a while and moves on.
