I think the song is a great step in the right direction for this album. It is a move away from Rush of Blood or X&Y. It shows the Brian Eno influence.
And honestly, what gives with the album art knock? First of all, would it matter what it looked like? It would still be criticized b/c it seems to be “cool” to hate on Coldplay. Secondly, I find it to be a pleasant change from the previous three album covers that all look the same. Change is good. This is clearly an attempt to follow a Beatles’s type path – not that I am saying this is in the same level, but that is clearly what they are trying to do.
