Coldplay songs in commercials have been a common thing in the past. It's not that I mind what they do with their music as long as they are aware that they strip away their own credibility. Almost as if they had half an eye on this market as they were making the album, hence the similarities. It still hurts to hear a Cure song in a commercial! Well, that’s a relief.

I was checking out their Wikipedia page and found a blurb that said they would never allow their music to be used for commercials. Of course, Wikipedia isn't exactly reputable, but I noticed they were making commercials for iTunes while promoting their album. If that isn't a marketing ploy, I don't know what is. It's Coldplay, Coldplay, Coldplay here in the States too, so I get pretty annoyed as well. I consider the album art to be sacrilege at this point so I won't comment on it, but I do agree that each album is too similar. They need to retire and live on their royalties.

Living in the UK it's all Coldplay, Coldplay, Coldplay but I cannot see any strong song-writing capabilities in this band. Each album they release is too similar to the last. The album art is a stupid idea. This is music for people who buy their albums with their weekly shopping at the supermarket.
