Coldplay move into fertile new ground with Midnight

I was pleased to find I could listen to a new Coldplay Track today and what I heard was very unexpected, I was thinking it might be more in the vain of Atlas but it is very different. I've enjoyed coldplay's music for a while but I'm a bit of a late comer. I only really got into them with the realease of Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, then fell in love with all their work up to and including that point. Their performance at Glastonbury blew me away and I counted down the days untill Mylo Xyloto was released. It is still my favourite of their albums and one of my all time favourite albums.  I had partly expected their latest release to be an extension of that and in some ways it is. Some people are already complainging that it's different but I appriciate them trying to do something different why go back and make past albums when they've already made them, it would most likely fail even if they tried. However I think Midnight succeds in moving one of the few great modern bands on to something else, it's different while still seeming genuine. It sounds in some ways like Jon Hopkin's (who has worked with the band before) work, it sounds like it could very easily work as the soundtrack to a film. I'm surprised how much I like it, allthough part of me wishes Chris' vocals were effect free, I do like the effect. I also can't wait to hear how this fits into the new albums as a whole. If ETIAW being the first song to drop of the last album is anything to go by the next album should sound even better as a whole than Midnight. I'm not as in love with it as Teardrop nor is it as Pop friendly but I do expect the album as a whole to be a real step on from Mylo Xyloto.
