This band make me 'feel' fantastic - nothing can take that feeling away from me! No one else does it quite the same.

I have seen their live show, Flow, but only because I got in for free. They put on a good show but that doesn't take away from the fact that they are generic, boring and overrated and Chris Martin is a twat. If you want beauty and epic grandeur, listen to Arcade Fire, not this watered down passionless garbage.
