Coldplay - 'Violet Hill': Stadium rockers start to experiment

Not because of it’s release, but more because, for Coldplay, ‘Violet Hill’, is a pretty experimental track. The guitars are distorted and the chorus, well, doesn’t really exist. What do you think? I think I liked it more on first listen than I do 24 hours later…
