Did anyone else feel like the leak was a bit lower quality (i.e. production unfinished) than expected? Is it possible this was an intentional leak of a lower quality version, with the album having the finished version?

Sounds a bit like a rip from a live stream. Not the greatest quality.

I’ll take a new Coldplay record over some boring, melancholic drivel from Keane or that band who had that song about how to save lives, any day.

@Ned Raggett: Ned, "pretty good" as in better than I would've expected from Coldplay after X&Y and an extended hiatus that really offered little indication they were on a self-improvement journey. The Eno fingerprint on this album is audibly faint. Rather it seems like he was just working behind the scenes and challenging them to write more impressive songs that still sound like Coldplay without beating old ideas to death. I'm not going to get into hyperbole, but I expect this set of songs will keep offering rewards in different ways through repeat listens.

Lots of relatively short songs on this album.
