And I just had to share this...

I found a kindred soul in the business who hates on Coldplay even worse than I do...but for the exact same reasons.

The most e-mailed story on the NYT site today, this review single-handed describes why anyone with the right amount of cynicism can easily dismiss this band's completely unearned status in the world of music. Not since Triumph did his share of ragging in 2003's "I Keed" has Coldplay backlash been so much fun. This hate is a work of art. Absolutely beautiful.
